Installation and safety considerations

You must follow these guidelines when you install the switch:
v Verify that the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that will be used are
v The switch is designed for an internet protocol (IT) power system with
v Ensure the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F). This is
v Ensure the volume of air flow available to the switch is at least 300 cubic feet per
If you are installing the switch in a rack:
v Ensure the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F). This is
v Ensure the volume of air flow available to the switch is at least 300 cubic feet per
v The switch requires a rack space that is 1 unit high, 48.26 cm (19 in.) wide, and
v Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable branch circuit ground
v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not unbalance the rack or
v Secure the rack to ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
