11. Do Not Use The Switch As A Shelf Or Work Space.
Caution: Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
3.6.2 Mechanical Installation
The procedure for installing the switch in a full rack while bringing the power cord across along
side of the switch can be found in See "Passing the Power Cord From the Connector Side to the
Power Side in a Full Rack" on page 57.
The switch platform can be rack mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19" rack.
The power side of the switch includes a hot-swap power supply module, a blank cover for an
optional second PSU for redundancy, and a hot-swap fan tray. There are two possible air flow
directions. Be sure that the switch air flow direction is compatible with your system, rack, and
PSUs. The connector side of the switch has the QSFP ports, system LEDs, and management con-
nection ports.
The switch platform contains auto-sensing 100 - 240 VAC connections for all possible PSUs.
The installer should use a rack capable of supporting the mechanical and environmental character-
istics of a fully populated platform.
3.6.2.1
Minimum and Maximum Rack Depth for this Switch
The short switch with the MIS000079 Rail kit can only go into a 19" rack whose vertical supports
are between 380mm and 500mm apart.
Note: To use the IS50XX in a rack deeper than 500mm, order the IS50XX with the standard
depth, or order the MIS000083 rail kit. The both of these solutions will allow you to install the
switch in a 19" rack whose vertical supports are between 500mm and 800mm apart.
The standard depth switch uses the MIS000085 rail kit for installation in a 19" rack whose vertical
supports are between 500mm and 800mm apart.

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take pre-
cautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambient
temperature. Cable routing in particular should not impede the air exhaust from the
chassis.
