Installing the device in a rack or cabinet
NOTE
You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation.
Before mounting the switch in a rack, pay particular attention to the following factors:
• Temperature: Because 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. (Refer to
“Environmental considerations” on page 10.)
• 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 electricity supply.
