Rack-Mounting Guidelines
78-18350-01
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.
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
"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.
Install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the switch in the rack
–
(if the rack is provided with stabilizing devices).
