<< Rack-Mount Installation >>
Before rack mounting the switch, please pay attention to the following factors :
1. Temperature - Because the temperature in a rack assembly could be higher
than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment
temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (Please refer
to Product Specifications in the manual.) Air flow is necessary in a rack for
temperature stable.
2. Mechanical Loading - Do not place any equipment on top of this rack-mounted
switch.
3. Circuit Overloading - Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is
not overload after installing this switch.
