6. Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the equipment rack with the appropriate screws
(supplied).
Important! Make sure the switch is supported until all the mounting screws for each bracket are secured to the
equipment rack. Failure to do so could cause the switch to fall, which may result in personal injury or damage to the
switch.
2.2.1 Equipment Rack Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to ensure that the switch will fit safely within the equipment rack:
• Size: IC35516-T: 17.1 x 10.1 x 1.6 inches (434 x 257 x 41 mm)
IC35516-G: 17.5 x 14.0 x 2.6 inches (445 x 356 x 66 mm)
• Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room in which the temperature remains below 40° C (104° F). Be
sure that no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, block airflow to or from the vents of the switch
• Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that adequate clearance for servicing the
switch from the front exists
2.3 Gigabit Interface Converters
The GBIC Interface is the industry standard for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces. Some of the benefits of GBIC include
reducing the components needed in a “spares” inventory, being able to choose from a wide variety of manufacturers
with cross-vendor compatibility, and having competitive prices.
Instructions for installing, removing, and maintaining GBIC modules are provided in following sections.
Important! The 35516-G has 12 GBIC ports that are paired— port numbers 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 10/12, and 14/16. DO
NOT use more than one copper GBIC module per pair (maximum 8 modules).
