Physical Installation
The switch platform uses 18U of rack space in a standard 19" rack, 16U 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 chas-
sis, 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 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.

If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative immediately.
The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-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.
Warning: This equipment is very heavy. Safety is the first concern. Make sure that
adequate manpower and proper equipment is used for transporting and moving the
chassis.
The fully loaded chassis weighs:
212.36 kg (468 LBS) full configuration
90 kg (199 LBS) empty configuration
154kg (339 LBS.) shipped configuration
Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteris-
tics of a fully populated switch chassis.
