Mounting
A TigerSwitch 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 an
optional slide-in 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X media expansion
module, or Stack Module, install these modules now, following the
instructions included with the package.
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.
