9| Mounting and Installing Raptor
IM-Raptor-1.3.6-EN
4. Mounting and Installing Raptor
The Raptor is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with brackets that allow installation
in a 48 cm (19 in) rack.
4.1 Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage
The device components are prone to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. ESD damage, which can cause intermittent
or complete component failures, can occur by voltages as low as 30 V. Potentially destructive static voltages can happen
during handling of plastic or foam packing material or when moving components across plastic or carpets.
Some guidelines to minimize the potential for ESD damage are:
♦Always use an ESD wrist strap when you are working with components that are subject to ESD damage, and make sure
that ESD wrist strap is in direct contact with your skin.
♦If a grounding strap is not available, then to ground yourself, touch the exposed bare metal of the device with the other
hand immediately before inserting the component into the device.
To ensure protection by the ESD strap, periodically check its resistance value.
The measured value must be in the range between 1 and 10 MΩ.
♦When handling any component that is subject to ESD damage and is to be removed from the device, make sure the
equipment end of your ESD wrist strap is attached to the ESD point on the chassis.
♦Avoid contact between the component that is subject to ESD damage and clothing. ESD voltages emitted from fabric
can damage components.
♦When removing or installing a component that is subject to ESD damage, always place its components upside on an
antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an antistatic bag. If you are returning a component, place it in an
antistatic bag before packing it.
4.2 Before Rack Installation
♦Ensure that you understand how to prevent ESD damage.
♦Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the
structure.
♦Remove the switch from the shipping package (see Sec 4.3 Unpacking Device).
♦Ensure that you have all necessary parts and tools needed to mount the switch on the rack.
Do not plan to use the device in a location where children are likely to be present.

INSTALLATION GUIDE | 10
IM-Raptor-1.3.6-EN
4.3 Unpacking Device
♦Inspect the package for damage before opening.
♦Open the package and visually inspect all items for issues.
♦Conrm that all items are available.
If there any missing or damaged items, contact iS5Com Support.
4.4 Prerequisites for Mounting Device on a Rack
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. For improved convectional airflow,
make sure that there is at least one rack-unit of space or 44 mm (1.75 in) of space around all sides of the
device or between the devices on the rack.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature
and improve the long term reliability of the equipment mounted in the rack space.
4.5 General Procedure for Installing and Starting Raptor
♦Review the Compliance Specication (see section 10) for any regulatory requirements.
♦Mount the device.
♦Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
♦Connect power to the device and ground the device.
♦Connect the device to the network.
♦Congure the device.
This equipment is intended only for use in a restricted access area.

11 | Mounting and Installing Raptor
IM-Raptor-1.3.6-EN
4.5.1 Electrical / Mechanical Hazards Prevention
♦When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware that the operating ambient temperature of the rack
may be higher than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable environment that
can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated by the rack.
♦Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specied by the rack manufacturer.
♦Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the overcurrent protection and power supply ratings specied by the rack
manufacturer.
♦Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection. Pay particular attention to power supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips). Ensure that the rack mount adapters
are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
Electrocution hazard – risk of death, serious personal injury and/or damage to the device.
Caution – Access to wiring terminals and replaceable modules is restricted to Skilled Persons only.
4.5.2 Humidity and Dust Hazards
Do not store the switch in locations where it will be subject excessive dirt and dust and high humidity. Conformal coating
is recommended for humid / moist applications.
4.6 Mounting Raptor on a Rack
Ensure that the rack mount brackets are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
1. Raptor Unit
2. Mounting Bracket
3. Mounting Screws

INSTALLATION GUIDE | 12
IM-Raptor-1.3.6-EN
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, perform the following:
Step 1: Install the mounting brackets to Raptor using 4 x M4 x 0.7 screws on each side (screws will be provided with the
switch). Use minimum of 2 brackets (4 brackets are included). Brackets are to be adjusted based on rack dimensions.
Step 2: Place the switch in the rack by tilting the switch at an angle so that the ears will clear the mounting rails. Mount it
on the rack using rack screws at the front and rear brackets.
