NXA-ENET24 Hardware Installation Guide

Mounting

This switch 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.

 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.

2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided).

3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter.

4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order.
