Before mounting the switch in a rack, pay particular attention to the following factors:
• Temperature: Because the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that
the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.
• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
• Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the mains.
