Rack or cabinet hardware installation
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting
includes four-post, two-post, or threaded mounts. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.
WARNING:
This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory
information booklet before you begin.
NOTE:
The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE:
Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
•
Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment and causing
personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the rack,
then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
•
Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a
rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present fire and shock hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C (113°F) maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
•
Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
•
Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other than
the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.
•
Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.
ReadyRails installation
For the S5248F-ON and S5232F-ON switches, you can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less square-hole method or one of
three possible 1U threaded round-hole methods. The tooled installation methods include two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or
four-post threaded mount.
NOTE:
Do not use the ReadyRails system for the S5296F-ON switch. For the S5296F-ON switch installation instructions, see
S5296F-ON four-post rack assembly
.
To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
