Tools and Parts

Tools required and customer supplied parts

If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative immediately.

The rack mounting holes conform to the IEA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Guarantee

proper ventilation, by leaving 8cm (3”) of space to the front and rear of the switch. This

will ensure proper air flow through the chassis. This is crucial for maintaining good air-

flow at ambient temperature. In particular, route cables such that they do not impede the

air into or out of the chassis.

This installation kit can only be used to install this switch.
