Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise
due to uneven mechanical loading.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise
due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground (earth) must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections
other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

Rack Mounting Instructions

This chapter provides information on installing the switch into a rack unit with the
CSE-PT52L rail kit. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
NOTE: Your switch may differ from the illustrations in this manual.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The CSE-PT52L rail kit package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting
kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: a fixed inner rail that secures directly to the
side of the switch, and a fixed outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself. See
Figure A-1 below for details.
