CAUTION:
Ensure the required
airflow for safe operation of
equipment is not compromised
when installing the Geist SwitchAir.
WARNING:
Take precaution to
avoid interference with the switch
input power cords when installing
on a live unit.
1. Preparing for installation
Before installing the SwitchAir,
remove the lower screw that
attaches each of the two switch
mounting bracket rails (left and
right) to the front rack uprights
(if necessary). Save these
screws to be used in the next
step. The switch mounting
bracket rails’ upper screws
remain fastened.
SwitchAir is not in the fully
extended position when
shipped from the factory. Pull
evenly on the chassis mounting
tabs for the desired depth.
2. Installing the unit into the
rack
Insert SwitchAir into the open
rack space at the same U height
as the switch. As the SwitchAir
is pushed into the space, the
SwitchAir rail tabs will engage
the switch mounting bracket
rails for support during
installation. Keep pushing the
SwitchAir into the space until
the SwitchAir front chassis
mounting tabs are flush with the
rack’s front rails.
Reinstall the screws that were
removed previously. Installation
is complete.
