Rack or cabinet installation
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting
includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The Dell ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post
installations.
The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies. To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the
inside rail out of the outside rail.
WARNING: This guide is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory
information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this section are not intended to represent a specic switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment and causing
personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the rack,
then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a
rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension
cords present re and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If you install the switch 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 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced air ow—Do not compromise the amount of airow required for safe operation of the equipment. Install the equipment in the
rack so that the equipment constantly has the correct amount of airow surrounding it.
• 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 fan panel facing in the downward position.
ReadyRails installation
