If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use
them again to repack the product in case there is a need to return it for
repair.
Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment
If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following
equipment available:
• Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these
are not included
• A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)
Mounting
The switch may be mounted on any flat surface, such as a shelf, or in a
rack. 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 C-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.
