When deciding where to install the switch, ensure that:
• The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not
restricted. You should provide a minimum of 25mm (1-inch) clearance.
• No objects are placed on top of the unit.
•
Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-standing.

Caution: The rack mount kits must not be used to suspend the switch from under
a table or desk, or to attach to a wall.
To rack mount the Summit switch, follow these steps:
1 If you are installing a Summit7i switch, mount the helper bracket in the rack using
four appropriate rack-mounting screws (not provided), as shown in Figure 2-1.
Only the Summit7i switch uses the helper bracket. The helper bracket is not
required to rack mount a Summit1, Summit1/LX, Summit4, Summit4/FX,
Summit24, or Summit48 switch.
