Install Rack or Cabinet Hardware

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 one 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.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted Ready-Rails as a shelf or a workplace.

Rack Mount 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 multiple
electrical components are installed 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.
• Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the
40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
