Mount the switch

The 2/8q FC Switch can be placed on a stable flat surface or mounted in a 19” EIA rack. When placing the switch on a flat surface, attach the provided adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the switch and then place the switch on work surface.

When mounting the switch in a rack, do the following:

WARNING: Mount devices in the rack so that the weight is distributed evenly. An unevenly loaded rack can become unstable, possibly resulting in equipment damage or personal injury.

Caution: If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, make sure that the operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature. See “Environmental” on page 61.

■Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of the switch or rack for service access and ventilation.

■Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the circuit. See “Electrical” on page 61.

■Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained.

1.Obtain the 2U rack template and the 2U rail kit from the SAN Kit carton.

2.Obtain the switch mounting adapter brackets and screws from the 2/8q FC Switch carton.

3.Use the template as a guide to mark the location for the rails in the rack.

a.Hold the template up to the rack, and when the template is level, push the template tabs into the rack holes to hold the template in place. (Figure 6)

b.Use a pencil to mark the locations of the rail pins on the rack.

Figure 6: Using the rack template

Note: If the holes in the rack are round instead of square, remove the standard pins from the rails and replace them with the round-hole pins provided with the rail kit.
