Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-
E- compliant rack.
Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may
damage equipment and cause possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before
loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do
not exceed your rack load rating.
Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple
electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not
exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
Elevated ambient temperature — If installed 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
40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
