Place or Mount the Equipment
NOTE:
If this chassis is part of a Multistage Switch please read Section 5 Multi-ChassisFabrics. It may affect the way you place or mount this chassis.
The Switch may be placed on a flat surface and stacked, or mounted in a 19” EIA rack. The Switch comes with rubber feet on the bottom for placing it on a flat surface.
Air flow is front-to-back. The top of each chassis has dimples for the rubber feet of a chassis stacked on top. Allow 163mm (6.5”) front, left side, and back.
Shelf Mount
If you are not going to rack-mount the Switch, simply place it on a flat surface being careful not to obstruct the air flow through the chassis.
Rack Mount
If you mount the Switch in a rack, you must install the rack-mounting brackets supplied with the Switch. You may also need to remove the Switch’s rubber feet. They are easily removable in case they are not compatible with your rack. Without the rubber feet, the Switch occupies 2U of space in an EIA rack.
NOTE: Rack Mounting Considerations
•The chassis must be installed on rails or on a shelf. The rack mounting brack- ets cannot support the weight of the chassis.
•If the chassis is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the tempera- ture of the chassis operating environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure that the operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature as defined in Appendix A Reference Information.
•Do not restrict the chassis airflow. Refer to Figure A-1and Figure A-2for clearance information.
•Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Refer to the nameplate ratings or Power Source loading in Appendix A Reference Information for clearance information.
•Reliable grounding (earthing) in the rack must be maintained from the Switch chassis to the AC power source. Please refer to the Danger notices on
page 2-5.
