components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load
rating.
CAUTION: Power Considerations -
Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed
in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded
power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
To install the rack mounting bracket:
1. Remove the two rack mounting screws from each side of the Octet switch.
2. Place the rack mounting brackets next to the switch as illustrated in Figure 3-4.
3. Insert the screws supplied with the rack mounting kit through the holes of the brack-
ets and into the Octet switch. Tighten the screws securely.
Install the Octet switch into the rack using the approved method of the rack manufacturer.
