Chapter 3 Installing the Switch Rack-Mounting the Switch Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. • If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006 Rack-Mounting Guidelines Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure the following: • The equipment rack is the proper size. - The width of the rack, between the two front mounting strips or rails, must be 17.75 inches (45.09 cm). - The depth of the rack, between the front and rear mounting strips, must be at least 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) but not more than 32 inches (81.3 cm). - The rack must have sufficient vertical clearance to insert the chassis. The chassis height is 1.75 inches (4.45 cm). • The equipment rack is stable and in no danger of falling over. - Ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and dimensions of the chassis. For physical specifications, see Appendix A, "Specifications." - We recommend that you bolt the rack to the floor. - Mount the unit at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. - Install heavier equipment in the lower half of the rack to maintain a low center of gravity and prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy and tipping over. 78-18039-02 Catalyst 4900 Series Switch Installation Guide 3-3
