Rack mount safety considerations
• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment and causing
personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the rack,
then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a
rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present re and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C (113°F) maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced air ow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other than
the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.
One-half U front-rack installation
Install the S5212F-ON switch using the following installation instructions.
NOTE
: To install the S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5224F-ON switches, see One U ReadyRails installation. To install the
S5296F-ON switch, see Two U four-post rack assembly.
The dual-tray mounting rails ship with the dual tray, not with the switch. You must supply eight rackmount screws for this installation.
To install the one-half U switch:
• Attach the rails to the dual tray.
• Install the dual tray in the four-post rack.
• (Recommended) Attach the ground cable to the switch.
• Install the switch in the dual tray.
NOTE
: Do not install the dual tray in a two-post rack.
1 Remove the dual tray and the rails from the shipping packaging and place them on a clean antistatic surface.
2 Line up the three holes on the inner switch rail with the dual-tray mounting heads.
3 Attach the rail to the dual tray. Slide the rail back until it locks into place.
