Mounting the SSA Switch
Note
The SSA switch comes with integrated mounting ears that are adequate for most installations.
For slide-in mounting, high vibration, or high shock installations, an optional rack mount kit
(SSA-FB-MOUNTKIT) is available.
To install the SSA switch in a rack using the optional rack mount kit, follow the pre-installation
discussion here – including:
Power Supply Airflow and Switch Fan Module Airflow
on page 14
Reversing the Fan Module Airflow
on page 15 – before proceeding to
on page 52.
You can install a SSA switch on a flat surface or in a rack. For more information about flat surface
installation, see
Installing the SSA Switch on a Flat Surface
on page 22.
There are four possible rack mounting configurations as shown in
, based upon whether:
•
The switch I/O ports side or the power supply side of the device face front.
•
The device is mounted flush with the rack posts or mid-mounted.
