Mounting
A TigerSwitch 10/100 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for
each type of site follow.
Installing Optional Modules : Before mounting the switch, be
sure you install any optional modules. If you have purchased
optional slide-in 100BASE-FX or Gigabit media expansion
modules, install these modules now, following the instructions on
page 3-6.
Rack Mounting
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. (See page C-2.)
◆
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a
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.
