MOUNTING
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, wall
mounted, or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site
follow.
RACK-MOUNTING
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following
factors:
◆ Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher
than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment
temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (“Physical
Characteristics” on page 61.)
◆ Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of the rack-
mounted unit.
◆ Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is
not overloaded.
◆ Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the mains.
