INSTALLATION

Mounting

The TigerSwitch 100 is suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation. A good location is at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

This switch can also be stacked with other switches on a flat surface or in a rack. Refer to the following sections: “Mounting the Switch in a Rack” and “Mounting and Stacking the Switch on a Flat Surface” for a description of these methods.

Mounting the Switch in a Rack

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 AC power mains.
