Installing the Switch

Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment

If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment

available:

• Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are not

included

• A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)

This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or

shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.

Installing Optional Modules: Before mounting the switch, you may want to install

optional modules. If you have purchased optional slide-in 100BASE-FX,

1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-T/SFP, or stacking modules, install these modules now,

following the instructions "Installing an Optional Module into the Switch" on page 3-4.

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. (See page C-1.)

• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.

• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not

overloaded.
