2. With the mounting brackets attached, position the switch between the vertical frame members
of the 19-inch rack as shown in Figure 2-3. Then fasten the switch securely to the frame using
four customer-supplied mounting screws.
Note: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of
5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left and right of the switch.
Warning: Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure that the rack can support it without
compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.
Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen
Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.
