Physical Installation

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Guaran-
tee proper ventilation, by leaving 8cm (3") of space to the front and rear of the switch.
This ensures proper airflow through the chassis. This is crucial for maintaining good
airflow at ambient temperature. In particular, route cables such that they do not impede
the air into or out of the chassis.
Warning: This equipment is very heavy. Make sure that adequate manpower and
proper equipment is used for transporting and moving the chassis. Before attempting to
move and place the chassis make sure that it is empty of all leafs, spines and manage-
ment modules and to use a mechanical lift.
This chassis can be installed in standard 19" racks that have 715-850mm between the vertical
supports of the rack.
The vertical supports may have to be moved so that the vertical support closest to the door is a
minimum of 6cm from the inside of the door. This is required so that the shelf does not hit the
door.
If you move the vertical supports make sure that you reinstall them vertically plumb.
