OUNTING
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following
factors:
◆
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be
higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-
environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature
range. (
“Physical Characteristics” on page 51.
◆
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of the rack-
mounted unit.
◆
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack
assembly is not overloaded.
◆
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the mains.
