Rack or cabinet hardware installation
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting
includes four-post, two-post, or threaded mounts. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.
WARNING:
This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
information booklet before you begin.
NOTE:
The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE:
Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
•
Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment and causing
personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the rack,
then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack's load rating.
•
Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a
rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present fire and shock hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
•
Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
•
Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other than
the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.
•
Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.
ReadyRails installation
To easily configure your rack for installation of your S5048F-ON switch, use the ReadyRails rack mounting system provided.
You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods—two-post flush mount,
two-post center mount, or four-post threaded mount.
To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
NOTE:
For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
