Mounting

The TigerSwitch 100 is suitable for desktop or rack-mount
installation. A good location is at the center of all the devices
you want to link and near a power outlet.
This switch can also be stacked with other switches on a flat
surface or in a rack. Refer to the following sections: "Mounting
the Switch in a Rack" and "Mounting and Stacking the Switch on
a Flat Surface" for a description of these methods.

Mounting the Switch in a Rack

Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack
assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature,
check that the rack-environment temperature is within the
specified operating temperature range. (See Appendix C)
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top
of a rack-mounted unit.
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the
rack assembly is not overloaded.
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly
grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to AC power
mains.
