Holding Bracket (factory installed) Rack Mounting Safety Considerations You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack. • Rack loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may damage equipment and cause possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating. • Power considerations - Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards. • Elevated ambient temperature - If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 40°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch. • Reduced air flow - Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. • Reverse air flow - Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from I/O panel. • Reliable earthing - Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips. • Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position. WARNING: These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin. NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch. 23

Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack.
•
Rack loading — Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, which may damage
equipment and cause possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins.
Mount the components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load
rating.
•
Power considerations — Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical
components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit
capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature — If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 40°C maximum
ambient temperature of the switch.
•
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of
the equipment is not compromised.
•
Reverse air flow — Necessary clearance is required to ensure cool air intake and to avoid hot air blow out from
I/O panel.
•
Reliable earthing — Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the
supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit; for example, use of power strips.
•
Do not mount the equipment with the Utility panel facing in the downward position.
