Mounting
A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type
of site follow.
Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
• Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly
may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that
the rack-environment temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range. (See page -2.)
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a
rack-mounted unit
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the
rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly
grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the mains.
To rack-mount devices:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in
the Bracket Mounting Kit.
