Rack-mount installation procedure

Following are standard rack-mounting considerations that Nortel Networks
recommends you follow:
You must have two people available when installing the rack-mount brackets.
Warning: The Contivity 4600 weighs about 60 pounds and should
always be carried by two people
• The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 40 degrees
Centigrade. Additionally, make sure the internal temperature of the rack
does not exceed 40 degrees.
• Do not block the power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when
installing the switch in a rack.
• Make sure that your rack is properly stabilized so that it will not tip over
under the weight of the switch and other devices.
• Make sure that the electrical branch circuits are capable of handling the
switch and other units in the rack before installing and powering up the
switch.
• Ensure that a reliable Earthing path is maintained in the rack system. The
Switch is intended to be connected to an Earth ground.
