Chapter 2 Mounting the Switch
Data Center, Enterprise & ISP Network Solutions
There are two ways to mount the switch:
• Set the switch on a flat surface.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
Before you begin installing your switch, prepare the installation site. Make sure your operating
environment meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment.
Ambient Temperature: Ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C. No nearby heat sources
such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters.
Air Flow: Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent overheating, adequate airflow in
room or wiring closet.
Mechanical Loading: The device must be level, stable, and secure to prevent it from sliding or
shifting out-of-position.
Circuit Loading: Adding the device to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded to guarantee lightening
protection and anti-jamming.
Step 1: Wear ESD-preventive wrist strap, and check the grounding and stability of rack.
Step 2: Fix the tray to a proper position of rack horizontally.
Step 3: Take out screw (complete package with front hangers), and install one end of the Front
Mounting Brackets on switch.
