Mounting
An AT-8324SX switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site
follow.
Note
If you have purchased an expansion module or a stacking module
for the switch, install the module now by following the instructions
included with the optional package.
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. (Refer to Physical Characteristics on page
61)
# 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, perform the following procedure:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the
Bracket Mounting Kit.
