Installing the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch
Installing the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series in an
equipment rack
Before beginning this procedure, ensure that the equipment rack the switch
will be installed in meets these requirements:
•
A space of 1.75 inches (4.45 centimeters) is provided for each switch in
an EIA or IEC standard 19 inch (48.2 centimeter) equipment rack.
•
The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.
•
The rack is grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power
service in the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not
exceed 1ohm of resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.
CAUTION
When mounting the device in a rack, do not stack units directly on
top of one another in the rack. Each unit must be secured to the
rack with the appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets
are not designed to support multiple units. For a translation of
this statement, see
