Mounting the Cisco 550XG Switches
2
There are two ways to physically install the switch:
• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop,
install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
Placement Tips
Do not deploy the switch in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not
operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F
(50°C).
• Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable to
avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Circuit Overloading—Adding the switch to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.
Rack Mounting
You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide
rack. The switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75 inches
(44.45 mm) high.
For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.
