The rack mounting holes conform to the IEA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Guaran-
tee proper ventilation, by leaving 8cm (3") of space to the front and rear of the switch.
This will ensure proper air flow through the chassis. This is crucial for maintaining
good airflow at ambient temperature. In particular, route cables such that they do not
impede the air into or out of the chassis.

Physical Installation
Warning: This equipment is very heavy. Safety is the first concern. The fully loaded
chassis weighs
is used for transporting and moving the chassis.
The switch platform uses 31U of rack space in a standard 19" rack, 29U for the chassis and 2U for
the shelf. The switch ships from the factory with mounting holes on the spine side. There are upper
brackets to connect the leaf side to the rack near the top of the chassis, and there are two lock-
down bars to secure the chassis to the shelf. The weight of the switch is supported from underneath
the unit by the shelf.
This chassis can be installed in standard 19" racks that have depths between 65cm and 80cm
between the vertical supports of the rack. Make sure that a fully populated rack including cables
will have sufficient air flow for cooling.
Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteris-
tics of a fully populated switch chassis.
