INSTALLING THE SWITCH

Mounting

A TigerSwitch 100 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.

Installing Optional Modules: Before mounting the switch, be sure you install any optional modules. If you have purchased an optional slide-in 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X media expansion module, or Stack Module, install these modules now, following the instructions included with the package.

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 page C-2.)

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.
