Mounting

A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop 
or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.

Rack Mounting

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 (see page C-1).

•  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. 

To rack-mount devices:

1.

Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket 
Mounting Kit.
