OUNTING
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following
factors:
◆
Temperature: Since 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. (
“Physical
Characteristics” on page 52 .)
◆
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of the rack-
mounted unit.
◆
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is
not overloaded.
