Mounting
A TigerSwitch 1000 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for
each type of site follow.
Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
◆Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly
may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that
the rack-environment temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range. (See Appendix C)
◆Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a
rack-mounted unit
◆Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack
assembly is not overloaded.
◆Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly
grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the mains.
To rack-mount devices:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in
the Bracket Mounting Kit.
