Installing the Switch 2-5
For table-top mounting continue the installation procedure with Installing the
GBIC Modules.
NOTE: If you attach rubber feet, you have to remove them before you can install the
Switch in a 19-inch equipment rack.
Mounting the Switch in an Equipment Rack
You can install the Switch in a RETMA 41U or 42U rack, in a Compaq rack,
or in a metric SW600 rack. Observe the following guidelines:
■ When you install the Switch in a closed or multi–rack assembly, be sure
the air temperature measured at the Switch front panel does not exceed
40° C (104° F).
■
Make sure the air flow to the Switch is at least 300 cfpm.
■ Verify that when the Switch is installed it does not unbalance the rack or
exceed the rack mechanical limits, both with the slide brackets secured
and with the slide brackets fully extended.
■ Verify that the supply circuit, the line fuse, and the wire size are
appropriate for the service.
■
Verify that all the other equipment installed in the rack has a reliable
ground connection; do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as
a power strip.
■
Route and support the power cord to ensure that the Switch moves
freely on the slide brackets without crimping or chafing the power cord,
or interfering with other equipment and cables installed in the rack.
Before you install the Switch in the rack you must attach mounting brackets to
the rack rails. Where you attach the mounting brackets vertically in the rack
depends on your installation, i.e., what other equipment is mounted in the rack
along with the Switch. The only tool you need is a Number 2 Phillips
screwdriver. Perform the applicable procedure from the following subsections.
Attaching Mounting Brackets in a
RETMA 41U Rack
You mount the Switch in this rack from the front of the rack only. Perform the
following steps:
1. Position the mounting template against the front and rear vertical rails
(Figure 2–2), first on one side of the cabinet and then on the other side;
make sure the template is parallel from front–to–rear.
