Racking

All products within the 12200, 12300 and 12800 Director series are designed to be
installed in industry-standard 19-inch four-post server racks.
Racks should conform to conventional standards. Use the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard
ANSI/EIA-310-D-92 and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297.
These racks are commercially available in various depths. It is recommended to
use rack with minimum of 36" depth to facilitate cable installation and routing. Other
physical attributes are shown in the table below.
NOTE:

Mark the Rack

Allow enough vertical space in the rack for each specific switch installation.
1. Determine the location in the rack of the bottom of the switch.
2. Mark the upper (if applicable) and lower mounting positions on the vertical rails
on the front of the rack.
3. Mark the upper (if applicable) and lower mounting positions on the vertical rails
on the back of the rack.
NOTE:
It is recommended that 12800-180 is installed into the rack at 5U or 6U
location. This locates the chassis approximately 12" from the floor and
allows the chassis to be moved onto the support rails by sliding off of the
pallet.
NOTE:
It is recommended that 12800-360 is installed into the rack at 5U or 6U
location. This will locate the chassis approximately 12" from the floor and
will allow the chassis to be moved onto the support rails by sliding off the
pallet.
