Installing the Switch

•

Ensure that your tabletop is stable and can handle the weight of the switch or a stack of switches, if that
is the case, along with any added backup power supplies.

•

Position the table for proper ventilation and easy access to separate power outlets for each device.

Installing the System in a Rack or Cabinet

The system provides three rack-mounting methods:

•

Two-Post Rack Mounting

•

Four-Post Rack-mounting with Threaded Rails

•

Four-Post Rack-mounting with Cage Nuts

Two-Post Rack Mounting

The switch is shipped with the universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears) attached. Ensure that there is
adequate clearance surrounding the rack to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two switches
side-by-side, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow.

Position the chassis in the rack. Secure the chassis with two of the supplied screws through each bracket
and onto the rack post.

Figure 4-1. Two-post (Front-mounted) Rack-mounting

Four-Post Rack-mounting with Threaded Rails

Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the cabinet or rack to permit access and airflow. If
you are installing two S-Series side-by-side, position the two units at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to
permit proper airflow. Follow the steps below to install a unit into a 4-post 19-inch equipment rack, using
the attached front mounting brackets and the optional adjustable rear-mounting brackets.
