Before you begin
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the equipment, ensure the
following:
•In single-rack installations, stabilizing feet
are attached to the rack.
•In multiple-rack installations, racks are
coupled together.
•Leveling jacks on the rack are extended to
the floor.
•The full weight of the rack rests on the
leveling jacks.
•Heavy items, such as uninterruptible
power supplies and hard drive storage
enclosures, are installed near the bottom
of the rack.
•Similar components are installed next to
each other in the rack. Because devices
are of differing depths, this facilitates
maintenance and service tasks.
•Only one device in a rack is extended at
a time. A rack may become unstable if
more than one device is extended.
CAUTION:
•For proper airflow, the SFP+ media side
(port side) of the device must face the front
of the rack. Mounting the switch in this
direction allows air to enter from the front
of the rack (SFP-port side of switch) and
exit through the back of the rack
(power-supply side of switch). This
prevents overheating, which may cause
equipment in the rack to fail.
•Provide a minimum of 63.5 cm (25 in)
clearance in front of the rack to allow the
doors to open fully, and 76.2 cm (30 in)
in back of the rack to allow for servicing
and airflow.
•If the device is mounted in a closed rack
or there are multiple rack-mounted
devices, make sure that the operating
temperature inside the rack enclosure
does not exceed the maximum rated
ambient temperature.
•Multiple rack-mounted devices connected
to the same AC supply circuit may
overload that circuit or the AC supply
wiring. Consider the power source
capacity and the total power usage of all
switches on the circuit.
•Reliable grounding in the rack must be
maintained.
Collect the required items
NOTE: The rack-mount kit installation requires
one technician.

Install the switch in the rack
1. Remove and discard the four 10-32 screws from
the sides of the switch.
2. Using two 10-32 x 0.375-inch screws with
captive washers, attach each rail to the switch
(Figure 3). Make sure the slotted ends of the
rails are on the power-supply side (not the
SFP-port side) of the switch.
Figure 1 Attaching the rails to the switch
3. On the rack vertical posts, mark the holes that
will be used by the rail flanges (three on each
rear vertical post, two on each front vertical
post). Then, from the inside of each vertical post,
insert an M6 cage-nut for the rack you are using
(square or round hole) into each marked hole
(Figure 4).
Then, using two M6 machine screws, fasten
each rear mounting bracket to the marked holes.

4. Place the switch and rail assembly into the rack
through the front, guiding the slotted-rail ends
onto the threaded studs of the rear mounting
brackets (Figure 5). Fit the posts on the front rail
flanges in the holes between the two cage-nuts
on each of the front vertical rack posts.
