Mounting the SSA
Enterasys S-Series Stand Alone (SSA) Hardware Installation Guide 2-3
Mounting the SSA
You can install an SSA on a desktop or in a rack. For more information about desktop installation,
see “ Desktop Installation ” on page 2 ‐ 4.
Using the SSA rail kit shipped with the SSA, you can install the SSA in three types of racks:
• Four ‐ post rack — See “ Rack Mounting the SSA in a Four ‐ post Rack ” on page 2 ‐ 4
• Two ‐ post rack (7 ‐ inch posts) — See “ Rack Mounting the SSA in a Two ‐ post Rack (7 ‐ inch
Posts) ” on page 2 ‐ 7
• Two ‐ post rack (3 ‐ inch posts) — See “ Rack Mounting the SSA in a Two ‐ post Rack (3 ‐ inch
Posts) ” on page 2 ‐ 10
If you are installing the SSA in a rack, Enterasys Networks recommends that you install the SSA in
a four ‐ post, 48.26 ‐ centimeter (19 ‐ inch) equipment rack.
In each of the three rack types, you can, optionally, secure the rear of the SSA to tabs on the rails.
For more information about securing the rear of the SSA, see “ Securing the SSA to the Rear of the
Rails ” on page 2 ‐ 11.
If you plan to cable your SSA with SFP or SFP+ pluggable transceivers, you may need to have 3–4
inches of clearance at the front of the SSA.
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 7 feet of the site.
• A temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the installation
site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.
Caution: If you are installing an SSA in a four-post or two-post rack, you must use the SSA rail kit to
install the SSA in the rack. Do not attempt to secure the SSA directly to the rack using the small
front mounting ears.
Precaución: Si instala un SSA en un estante de cuatro o de dos postes, debe usar el kit de rieles
de SSA para realizar la instalación. No intente asegurar el SSA directamente en el estante usando
las lengüetas de montaje delanteras pequeñas.
Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space
of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the device.
Precaución: Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se sobrecaliente, deje un
espacio mínimo de 5.1 cm (2 pulgadas) con respecto a los lados y a la parte posterior del aparato.
Warning: Before rack-mounting the device, 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.
