Installation
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the
following precautions:
1.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment
must be less than or equal to 50
0
C.
2.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and
safe operation.
3.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
system placement of the equipment must not overload or load
unevenly the rack system.
4.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.
5.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and
uncompromised earthing path.
6.)
If the intra-building wiring (cabling) is involved with this
product(NEBS), then it is recommended to have shielded cable and
the shield is grounded at both ends.

Locating Magnum 4K16 Switches
The location of a Magnum 4K-Series Switch is dependent on the physical
layout of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where
groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each
other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2
below), but because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table
top.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 4K-
Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 4K-Series will normally protect it
from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the
front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that
cooling can occur from the small fan on the top of the silicon, while the unit is in
operation. See figure below.
