Rackmount Installation

To install the 2E4X-27 in a 19-inch rack, Cabletron Systems includes an
accessory kit containing the rackmount brackets, mounting screws, and a
strain-relief bracket for cable management.

Guidelines for the Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet
the requirements listed below:

•

An appropriate grounded power receptacle must be located within
seven feet of the location.

•

Maintain a temperature of between 5

C (41

F) and 40

C (104

F) at

the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10

C (18

F) per hour.

CAUTION

To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a
minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in) at the left, right,
and rear of the 2E4X-27.

WARNING

Before installing the 2E4X-27

into a rack, ensure that the rack

supports the device(s) without compromising the stability of the
rack. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result.
