Rack-Mounting the Switch A standard rack-mount kit is included for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. A standard equipment rack has two unobstructed outer posts, a minimum depth between the front and rear mounting posts of 19.25 inches (48.9 cm), and a maximum depth of 32 inches (81.3 cm). This kit is not suitable for racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to the switch. Caution Before installing the chassis in a rack, read the "Site Environmental Requirements" section on page 2-1 to familiarize yourself with the proper site and environmental conditions. Failure to read and follow these guidelines could lead to an unsuccessful installation and possible damage to the system and components. Caution This unit is meant to be rack-mounted, and is not intended to bear more than its own weight. Do not stack more than two on a table top, the added weight may damage the bottom chassis.
