Setup Guide

• Elevated ambient temperature — If you install the equipment in a closed rack
assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C maximum
ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that you do not
compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment.
• Reverse air flow — To ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from
the I/O panel, ensure that you have the necessary clearance.
• Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay
particular attention to the supply connections other than the direct connections
to the branch circuit; for example, the use of the power strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward
position.

Rack Mount the Switch
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a
19" wide, EIA-310-E-compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods).
The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post
installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail
assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
CAUTION: Do not use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.
