Chapter 4: Installing the Switch
4.3 Equipment Checklist
Before unpacking this switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components (see Section 2.3). Then, before
beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
WARNING: The SFP transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
4.4 Mounting
The 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.
Rackmounting
Before rackmounting the switch, consider 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 32 to 122° F (0 to 50° C).
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rackmounted unit.
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rackmounted equipment should be properly grounded.
To rackmount devices:
Step 1: Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the mounting kit (INCLUDED OR NOT???).

Step 2: Mount the device in the rack (using the rackmount brackets and four rackmounting screws). Be sure to secure the lower
rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets being bent by the weight of the switch.
