Select a 2U space in the rack.
With the channel of the side rail
facing the centerline of the rack,
hold the side rail channel on the
inside of the left rack upright.
Fasten in place using screws
only in the top and bottom holes
of the 2U space. Repeat the
procedure for installation of the
channel on the opposite side.
3. Installing the wipers (side
air intake only)
Orient each SwitchAir wiper
with the tab facing away from
the centerline of the switch.
Attach each wiper using the
provided screws.
4. Installing the switch
Slide the network switch into
the rack’s 2U space at the
installed channel’s height. Using
customer-provided cage nuts
and screws, mount the switch
to the rear rack uprights.
5. Installing the SwitchAir
device into the rack
NOTE:
Connect to power before
attaching the SwitchAir
device to the rack. (The SwitchAir
has a standard C14 power inlet. Due
to the variety of possible power
source outlet types, an appropriate
power cord type must be
determined and supplied by the
customer.)
Insert the SwitchAir device into the
open rack space at the same 2U
height as the switch.
For the rear air intake only:
Once the SwitchAir device is fully
seated, install the mounting screws
