1 Installing the Cisco Switch There are three ways to physically install the switch: • Set the switch on a flat surface. • Mount the switch in a standard rack (1U high). • Mount the switch on a wall. Before you install the Unmanaged Rackmount Switch, follow the guidelines in this section. When you choose a location for the switch, consider the following guidelines: • Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be connected easily. • Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. • Position the switch away from water and moisture sources. • To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm). • Do not stack free-standing switches more than four units high. Do not deploy the device in a location where any of the following conditions exist: High Ambient Temperature-The ambient temperature must not exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40C). Reduced Air Flow-Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent overheating. Mechanical Overloading-The device should be level, stable, and secure to avoid it sliding or shifting out of position. Circuit Overloading-Adding the device to the power outlet must not overload that circuit. 2 Cisco Unmanaged Rackmount Switches
