1.1 Precautions
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions if the
equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly:
1.
Ensure the environmental temperature is less than or equal to 50°C.
2.
Please ensure 1U (1.75") gap is provided above each switch in the enclosure
for heat dissipation.
3.
Placement of the equipment must not overload or unevenly load the rack
system.
4.
Verify the equipment's power requirements to prevent overloading of
electrical circuits.
5.
Verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised grounding path.
6.
Equipment is to be installed by service personnel in a restricted operation
area.
This chapter describes installation of the MultiLink Ethernet Switch, as well as connection
