Standalone (Non-Rack Mounted) Installations
The chassis can also be placed unmounted on a stable, flat surface as a standalone unit. Be sure that the
surface can accommodate the full, populated weight of all switches being installed. Approximate chassis
weights are provided on page 2-4 (OS6900-X20 and OS6900-X40) and page 2-8 (OS6900-T20 and
OS6900-T40).
For a standalone unit, use two or more people to move and position the unpopulated chassis upright on the
surface where it is to be installed. Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow
and that you have placed the chassis within reach of all required AC outlets. For recommended airflow
allowances, refer to page 2-16.
Note. Chassis must be placed “right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch while it is placed on its
top or side.
