Rack Mount the Switch

You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly
into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E-compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded
methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack, and
two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged
rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch.

CAUTION: Do not use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.

Rack Mounting Safety Considerations

Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf
or rack failure, causing damage to the equipment and possible personal
injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount
the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top.
Do not exceed your rack load rating.
Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the
unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a rack, ensure that
the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities.
Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
