Cabinet placement
Install the Z9264F-ON switch only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled
environment.
Do not install the switch in outside cabinets. For cabinet placement requirements, see
selection.
The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airflow must be in accordance with the
Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard. Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches
(12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
Rack mounting
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the
equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground
path must be permanent.
