Mounting the Chassis

The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, or can be mounted on any flat surface such as a tabletop. The installation area should be near a power source and should have enough room around the front and back panels for cabling and access to controls. Use the following procedures for the installation of the switch.

Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Rack or Cabinet Mounting

If you install the equipment in a closed or multi-unit rack, observe the environmental guidelines from the previous chapter, Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation”.

Caution: The following rack mounting instructions need to be observed to ensure that the switch and any other equipment are mechanically stable.

The following steps describe how to mount the switch in a rack or cabinet:

1.Remove the bracket covers on each side of the switch to expose the rack mounting brackets. Access to the retaining screws is obtained by opening the cap on the front of each bracket cover. Use the Allen key supplied with the switch to remove the two 6 mm Allen screws. When you have removed the screws, push the bracket cover towards the back of the switch and lift the cover off. Keep the screws for later use.

Figure 15. Exposing the Rack Mounting Bracket

Before starting the next step, be sure you have the proper hardware for mounting the chassis with the exposed brackets to your cabinet or rack.
