Mounting the Cisco Switch

There are two ways to mount the switch:
• Set the switch on a flat surface.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
Do not mount the device in a location where any of the following conditions
exist:
• High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not
exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade).
Some switches have a higher temperature rating. The SG200-
N
OTE
10FP, SF200-24FP, SG200-26FP, and SG200-50FP are rated at 113
degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Centigrade).
• Reduced Air Flow—Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent
overheating.
• Mechanical Overloading—The device must be level, stable, and
secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out-of-position.
