Rack or cabinet hardware installation procedure
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310 E-compliant rack. These
installation procedures are for four-post rack installation only.
The rails 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.
CAUTION:
Consider these rackmount safety requirements before installing your switch:
●
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, and then work to the top. Do not exceed your
rack-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 you install the switch in a closed rack, 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—Do not compromise the amount of airflow that is required for safe operation of the
equipment. Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment constantly has the correct amount of
airflow surrounding it.
●
Reliable grounding—Maintain reliable grounding 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 fan panel facing in the downward position.
NOTE:
The figures in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE:
Do not the use the mounted rails as a shelf or a workplace.
Switch installation
Install the Z9432F-ON switch in a four-post rack rail configuration or a four-post rack L-bracket installation.
Four-post ReadyRail installation
Use these installation instructions for racks with M5 threaded holes, 9.5 mm (.354 in) square holes, or 7.1 mm (.279) round
holes.
Complete the switch installation in the following order:
1. Attach the inner rails to the switch.
2. Attach the outer rails to the four-post rack.
3. Slide the switch into the rack.
NOTE:
You need a user-supplied Phillips screwdriver to complete this installation.
To install the switch:
1. Remove the rails, rail plates, and screws from the shipping container.
2. Separate the inner rail and the outer rail.
Press the rail clip and pull the inner rail out.
