Mounting
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf.
Mounting instructions for each type of site as follows.
Rack Mounting
•
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 (0 to 40
°
C).
•
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.
Step 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Mounting
Accessory.
Step 2. Mount the device in the rack (Via Optional Rack-Mount kit), using four rack-mounting
screws (not provided). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the
brackets being bent by the weight of the switch.
Step 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connection to a Power Source” at the end of
this chapter.
Step 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any
order
