To mount the model 5600 switch in a rack without the use of rails, fasten the
brackets to the switch as shown in Figure 4-2. Choose the bracket screw holes to
produce the setback you want. Place the switch in the rack and fasten the bracket
flanges to the rack with two screws on each side.

CAUTION!
 If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. Refer to
“Environmental” on page A-7 for technical specifications.
 Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance
at the front and rear of the switch (surface mount) or rack for service
access and ventilation.
 Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may
overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Consider the
power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the
circuit. Refer to “Electrical” on page A-5.
 Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch
chassis to the AC power source.
