The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed
below:
• Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 152 cm (5 ft) of the location.
• A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F) must be maintained at the installation

Attaching the Brackets and Installing in a Rack
The following section explains how to attach brackets to a 24 and 48 port switch and then how to
install this switch in a rack. There are eight 24 and 48 port switches that can be installed following
this procedure. They are the 08H20G4-24, 08H20G4-24P, 08H20G4-48, 08H20G4-48P, 08G20G4-24,
08G20G4-24P, 08G20G4-48, and 08G20G4-48P. Proceed as follows to install the switch into a
19-inch rack:
1. Attach the rackmount brackets to the switch, as shown in Figure 2-2 , using the eight M3x6
mm flathead screws shipped with the switch.

2. With the mounting brackets attached, position the switch between the vertical frame members
of the 19-inch rack as shown in
Figure 2-3 . Then fasten the switch securely to the frame using
four customer-supplied mounting screws.
Note:
To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of
5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left and right of the switch.
Warning:
Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure that the rack can support it without
compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.
Advertencia:
Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar su peso
sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.
Warnhinweis:
Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen
Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.
Note:
Do not install the rubber feet if you are rack mounting the switch.
