3. Mount the Switch
A Switch 800T can be mounted in two ways:
The hardware for mounting the switch is included in the accessory kit
(5063-8544) packed with the switch.
Hewlett-Packard sells 19-inch free-standing equipment racks. For more
information, contact your HP authorized LAN dealer.

Before mounting the switch, read and follow these mounting precautions:

In a rack or cabinet
On a table
On a wall
Plan the switch's location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be attached to the switch
and ports that will be used. In the front of the switch, leave 3 inches
(7.6 cm) of space for twisted-pair cables. In the back of the switch, leave
1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of space for the power cord.
Ensure that any installation of a Switch 800T, together with any other
devices, does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current
protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits,
add together the ampere ratings from the nameplates of all devices
installed on the same circuits and compare the total with the rating limits
for the supply circuits.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use
the supplied power cord to connect the Switch 800T to the circuit. Refer
to the Safety and Regulatory Statements that follow the appendixes at the
back of this manual.
Do not install the Switch 800T in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
For proper cooling, make sure the air flow around the sides and back of
the switch is not restricted.
If an HP J2962A AdvanceStack Switch 800T Redundant Power Supply is
installed, make sure the air flow around the fan area of the RPS is not
restricted.
