Installation and safety considerations Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation. Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel can install and service these switches in such a rack. Attention: Read the "Safety and environmental notices" on page ix before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures. Facility requirements To ensure correct operation of the switch, the facility where the switch is in use must meet the requirements listed in Table 2. Table 2. Facility requirements Type Requirements Thermal v A minimum air flow of 40.1 cubic meters per hour (24 cubic feet per minute) available in the immediate vicinity of the switch v Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating Cabinet (when rack-mounted) v A minimum of one EIA unit (4.45 cm; 1.75 inches) high in a 19-in. (48.3 cm.) cabinet , and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep. v Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly. v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way. v Cabinet must be secured to insure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake 8 SAN16B-2 Installation, Service, and User's Guide
