Chapter 3: Mount the Device

You can mount the P330 in a rack.

The P330 chassis fits in most standard 19-inch racks. It is 2U (3.5”, 88 mm) high.

Before you Install the P330 in a Rack

Disconnect all cables from the unit before proceeding with the rack installation.

When installing P330 in a rack, ensure that the equipment is positioned such that it will not cause the rack to become unstable or tip over.

Ensure that the combination of equipment in the rack will not cause an overload or overcurrent condition on the power strip being used and/or the customer's branch circuit.

The P330 units weigh a maximum of 15 pounds (6.8 kg). Be careful when installing or removing the P330 product from the rack.

If a power strip is being used in the rack, ensure that it has a reliable earth connection. If the P330 equipment will be plugged directly into a wall outlet, ensure that there is a reliable ground connection at the outlet.

Ensure that the internal rack ambient temperature is within the operating specification limits of the P330.

Ventilation for the P330 is from side to side. Ensure that there is adequate space on each side of the P330 equipment when installed in the rack to allow sufficient airflow.

Place the P330 in the rack as follows:

Note:

The P333T is used to illustrate this procedure which is the same for all P330 switches.

1.Snap open the hinged ends of the unit’s front panel to reveal the screw holes. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3.
