Rack Mount
If you mount the Switch in a rack, you must install the rack-mounting brackets
supplied with the Switch. You may also need to remove the Switch’s rubber feet.
They are easily removable in case they are not compatible with your rack. Without
the rubber feet, the Switch occupies 2U of space in an EIA rack.
The following steps describe how to mount the chassis in a rack:
1. Mount the Brackets. The chassis must sit on rails or a shelf in the rack or
cabinet. Refer to Figure 2-1. The Switch is shipped with a package
containing cabinet mounting brackets. The screws are already in the chassis
so you must remove them and reuse them to mount the brackets. Mount these
brackets on either the front or back corners of the chassis.
NOTE: Rack Mounting Considerations
• The chassis must be installed on rails or on a shelf. The rack mounting brack-
ets cannot support the weight of the chassis.
• If the chassis is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the tempera-
ture of the chassis operating environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature of the room. Make sure that the operating temperature inside the
rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature as
defined in Appendix A Reference Information.
• Do not restrict the chassis airflow. Refer to Figure A-1 for clearance
information.
• Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may overload
that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Refer to the nameplate ratings
or Power Source loading in Appendix A Reference Information.
• Reliable grounding (earthing) in the rack must be maintained from the Switch
chassis to the AC power source. Please refer to the Danger notices on
page 2-6.
