Rack or cabinet hardware installation

You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Installation
methods include four-post, two-post, or threaded. The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for one 1U front-rack and two-post
installations.
The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory
information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.

Rack mount safety considerations

• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure that can damage the equipment and possibly
cause personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom of
the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.
• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a
rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present fire and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If installed 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 40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• 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, power strips usage.
• Do not mount the equipment with the rear panel facing in the downward position.

Dell ReadyRails installation

You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods—two-post flush mount,
two-post center mount, or four-post threaded mount.
CAUTION: Your system is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use the 1U tool-less square-hole or two-post installation
methods.
1 With the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward, place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the rear flange
rail pegs in the rear vertical post flange.
Item 1 and its extractions show how the pegs appear in both the square and nonthreaded round holes.
