Chapter 2 Installation
Installation Considerations
The switch has optional mounting hardware to mount the switch in a standard 19-inch
rack.
Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In a rackmount installation, follow these safety guidelines:
When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make certain the air
temperature, measured at the rack front, does not exceed 40° C during operation.
Ensure that there is sufficient airflow available to the switch.
Verify that the switch installation, both with the slides closed and fully extended,
does not unbalance the rack or exceed the rack's mechanical limits.
Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer to the
switch's nameplate for its power requirements.
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground connection.
Do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as power strips.
Route and support the power cord to ensure that the switch moves freely on its slides
without crimping or damaging the power cord or interfering with other equipment and
cabling installed in the rack.
Installing Slide Assembly (Optional)
Before starting switch slide installation and the switch rack installation, locate the rack-
mount slides and the mounting brackets package, then proceed:
To install slide assembly
1 Disassemble the slides by fully extending the slide, pressing the release, then pulling
the slide apart.
2 Mount the slide moving portion to each switch side as shown in Figure 2-2, using the
supplied slide screws.
3 Open the rack mounting package, and secure the four rack mounting attachments to
the stationary slide portion as shown in Figure 2-2.
4 Mount the two brackets using two screws (of the four provided) for each handle.
