Before you begin
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, ensure that:
In single-rack installations, stabilizing feet are attached to the
rack.
In multiple-rack installations, racks are coupled together.
Leveling jacks on the rack are extended to the floor.
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
Heavy items, such as uninterruptible power supplies and hard
drive storage enclosures, are installed near the bottom of the
rack.
Similar components are installed next to each other in the rack.
Because devices are of differing depths, this will facilitate
maintenance and service tasks.
Only one device in a rack is extended at a time. A rack may
become unstable if more than one device is extended.
CAUTION:
For proper airflow, the SFP+ media side (port side) of the device
must face the front of the rack. Mounting the switch in this
direction allows air to enter from the front of the rack (SFP-port
side of switch) and exhaust through the back of the rack
(power-supply side of switch). This prevents overheating, which
may cause equipment in the rack to fail.
Allow a minimum of 63.5 cm (25 in) clearance in front of the
rack to allow the doors to open fully, and 76.2 cm (30 in) in
back of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
If the device is mounted in a closed rack or there are multiple
rack-mounted devices, make sure that the operating temperature
inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated
ambient temperature.
Multiple rack-mounted devices connected to the same AC supply
circuit may overload that circuit or the AC supply wiring.
Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage
of all switches on the circuit.
Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained.
