Two U four-post rack assembly

Due to the chassis weight, the S5296F-ON switch does not support a two-post rack installation; you must install the S5296F-ON in a four-
post rack.

To install in a four-post rack, follow the instructions in your rack frame kit. In a four-post rack, the maximum distance between the front and
back vertical posts is 36 inches (91.44 cm); the minimum distance is 24 inches (60.96).
CAUTION: Use two people, an equipment lift, or pallet jack when lifting or moving the chassis. Install the chassis into the rack
before inserting the chassis components. Lift the chassis only from the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power supply
openings might damage the chassis.

Rack mounting safety considerations
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the
system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the
bottom of the rack.
• If the rack comes with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
• If the chassis ships with blanks, remove the blanks from each slot before lifting the chassis.
WARNING: These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
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 the load rating of your rack.
• 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
cables present fire and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If you install the switch 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 (113°F) maximum ambient temperature of the
switch.
• Reduced airflow—Do not compromise the amount of airflow that is required for safe operation of the equipment. Install the equipment
in the rack so that the equipment constantly has the correct amount of airflow surrounding it.
• 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 fan panel facing in the downward position.
