Mount the Switch
The switch can be placed on a flat surface and stacked or mounted in a 19” EIA
rack. Refer to ”Dimensions” on page A-4 for weight and dimensional
specifications. Adhesive rubber feet are provided for surface mounts. Without the
rubber feet, the switch occupies 1U of space in an EIA rack.
A model 5600 switch can be rack mounted without rails, however, rail kits
are available from General Devices™ Company, model number C-874:

A model 5602 switch requires a QLogic rail kit (part number
SB5602-RACKKIT) for rack mounting.
WARNING!!
Mount switches in the rack so that the weight is distributed evenly.
An unevenly loaded rack can become unstable possibly resulting in
equipment damage or personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT!!
Installer les commutateurs dans l’armoire informatique de sorte
que le poids soit réparti uniformément. Une armoire informatique
déséquilibré risque d'entraîner des blessures ou d'endommager
l'équipement.
WARNUNG!!
Switches so in das Rack einbauen, dass das Gewicht gleichmäßig
verteilt ist. Ein Rack mit ungleichmäßiger Gewichtsverteilung kann
schwanken/umfallen und Gerätbeschädigung oder Verletzung
verursachen.
