5.2 Scenario 1: Cabinet/Rack Mounting
5.2.1 Using Front Mounting Brackets
Context
This installation method applies to S2700, S3700, S5700 (except S5710-EI, S5710-HI,
S5720-SI (420 mm depth), S5730-SI, S5730S-EI, S5720-C-EI, S5720-PC-EI, and S5720-HI),
S6700-EI, S6720S-EI, S6720-LI, and S6720S-LI switches.
Follow these precautions before or during the installation:
l Ensure that the cabinet is stable and meets the requirements specified in 3.3 Checking
the Cabinet or Rack.
l Leave sufficient vertical space in the cabinet or rack for the switch.
l To allow sufficient airflow around the switch, leave at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance
behind and on both the left and right sides of the switch.
l To install multiple switches in one cabinet or rack, leave at least 1 U (1 U = 44.45 mm)
between switches that use natural heat dissipation. For switches that use forced or
intelligent air cooling, the recommended spacing between them is 1 U.
l Align the mounting brackets on the left and right mounting rails. If they are not on a
horizontal line, forcibly mounting the switch may distort the chassis.
l For an S6700-EI switch, using guide rails (purchased separately) to support the chassis is
recommended.
