4.2.1
Mount the Switch
WARNING!! Two people are required to safely lift and install the SANbox2-64
switch into a rack. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
switch, arrange for the help of an assistant.
When mounting products into a rack or cabinet, heavier products
should be placed near the bottom. A top heavy rack can become
unstable possibly resulting in equipment damage or personal
injury.
CAUTION!
If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
make sure that the operating temperature inside the rack
enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature. Refer to ”Environmental” on page A-4.
The switch must rest on rails or a shelf in the rack or cabinet.
Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of
the rack for service access and ventilation.
Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum
clearance at the front and rear of the rack for service access and
ventilation.
Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit
may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring.
Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of
all switches on the circuit. Refer to ”Electrical” on page A-3.
Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch
chassis to the AC power source.
