EMC Connectrix B Series DS-4900B Hardware Reference Manual
Installing and Configuring the DS-4900B
Installing in an EIA cabinet
The DS-4900B can be installed into an EIA cabinet using an optionally
available rack mount kit. Refer to the documentation that is shipped
with the rack kit for installation instructions.
The switch can be installed using the slide rack mount kit in two
ways:
◆ To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air
side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch
is flush with the edge of the cabinet.
◆ To allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air
side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch
is set 3 in. (7.62 cm) back from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a
more gradual bend in the fiber-optic cables.
