Mounting
A TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 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 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.
