The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack; which can be placed in a wiring closet with other
equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them
with the screws provided.
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.
Please be aware of following safety instructions when installing:
n
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
n
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
n
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
n
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
n
Reliable Grounding - Reliable Grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips)."
3.3 Grounding the Switch
The section describes how to connect the switch to ground. You must complete this procedure before powering your
switch.
Required Tools and Equipment
l
Ground screws: One M4 x 6mm (metric) pan-head screw
l
Ground cable: The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements.
Depending on the power supply and system, a 6 to 12 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. T
he length of the cable depends on the proximity of
the switch to proper grounding facilities.
