NetComm NP3024 manual Installation, Rack Mounting

Chapter 2: Installation

The location where you install the switch stack may greatly affect its performance, therefore we suggest you consider the following before you install your switch:

■Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

■Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

■Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.

■Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

■When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the switch and protect the switch case from scratching.

Rack Mounting

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the screws provided.

Figure 1. Combine the Switch with the provided screws

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
