EMC Connectrix B DS-5000B Hardware Reference Manual
If installing the switch in a cabinet:
The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
◆
Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit high (1.75 inches; 4.44 cm),
◆
19 inches (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 24 inches (61cm) deep.
Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch
◆
circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely
on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power
strip.
Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an
◆
ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or
multirack assembly.
Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the
◆
cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected
◆
movement.
