Rack Mounting Safety Considerations

You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19"
wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack.
• Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or
rack failure, which may damage equipment and cause possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the
components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not
exceed your rack load rating.
