caused to the unit by using incorrect screws invalidates your warranty.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other side of the Switch.
5 Insert the Switch into the 19-inch rack and secure with suitable screws
(not provided). Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
6 Connect network cabling.
Placing Units On
Top of Each Other
If the Switch units are free-standing, up to four units can be placed one
on top of the other. If you are mixing a variety of Switch and Hub units,
the smaller units must be positioned at the top.
If you are placing Switch units one on top of the other, you must use the
self-adhesive rubber pads supplied. Apply the pads to the underside of
each Switch, sticking one in the marked area at each corner. Place the
Switch units on top of each other.
Creating an XRN
Distributed Fabric
3Com Switch 4050/4060 units and the Switch 4900 Series units can be
interconnected to create an XRN Distributed Fabric and then treated as a
single manageable unit with one IP address. A combination of any two of
these units is allowed to be interconnected.
