Important notice about rack safety
One prerequisite to installing the switch in an equipment rack is to bolt the equipment rack to the
floor. This section emphasizes the safety issue if you do not bolt the rack to the floor.
Warning:
If you pull the chassis all the way out on the slide rails, there is a danger of the rack tipping
over if the rack is not bolted to the floor. This can happen even if there are other devices
installed in your equipment rack.
To avoid this danger, refer to the guidelines in the graph below the figure.
If your rack meets the following guidelines and you pull the chassis all the way out, the rack is in
danger of tipping over:
• 900mm equipment rack that weighs less than 14kg
• 600mm equipment rack that weighs less than 21kg
• 300mm equipment rack that weighs less than 42kg
