• 7/16-inch wrench or socket
• SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit hardware
Installation safety guidelines
Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meet the following requirements:
• Plan a rack space that is a 1U high and provides clearance for the switch power cords to run between
the rack sides and the rails at the front of the 19-inch EIA rack.
• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at
all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis.
• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
