MOUNTING
The switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a
desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
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. (See page 60.)
◆ 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:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket
Mounting Kit.
