Appendix D. Rack mount instructions

The optional rack mount kit includes the following items:

§Two black anodized mounting brackets.

§Four 6 - 32 x 3/8” flat head mounting screws.

To rack mount your Vista switch, attach the two rack mounting brackets to your unit with the short flange against the unit using the four screws provided. Using hardware other than that provided could cause damage to the electronics and/or result in loss of mounting integrity. Do not over tighten the screws used to mount the unit to the mounting brackets. Secure the mounting brackets to the rack using the appropriate size bolts, nuts and lock washers.

The following general guidelines should be observed when installing your unit into a rack.

1.The Vista switch is designed to work in an ambient temperature of 0ο C to 55ο C (32ο F – 131ο F).

2.Do not block power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when rack-mounting this unit.

3.Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered to prevent instability.

4.Tighten all connectors securely and provide adequate strain relief for all cables.

5.Provide a grounded power source to all units. Pay special attention to overall branch circuit load ratings before connecting equipment to this source. Overloaded circuits are potential fire hazards and can cause equipment failures or poor performance.
