Installing and Configuring the DS-300B
Installation and safety considerations
You can install the DS-300B switch in the following ways:
1. As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
2. In an EIA cabinet using an optional fixed rack mount kit, slide
rack mount kit, or mid-mount rack kit.
Electrical considerations
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following:
◆ The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit
breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
◆ The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as
specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
◆ Verify that a minimum of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic
meters/hour) of air flow is available to the air intake vents on the
nonport side of the switch.
◆ The power supply standards provided in “System specifications”
on page 59 are met.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the
following environmental requirements are met:
• At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the
switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake
vents, facing the cool-air aisle.
• All equipment in the rack should force air in the same
direction to avoid intaking exhaust air.
• A minimum of 24 cubic ft/min of air flow is available to the
air intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40
° C (104° F)
while the switch is operating.
