Quick Installation Guide
VM1193/590-2228-501A 1
Models:
SA1-02003, SA1-02003XS
Switch Type:
Rear air intake-front (port) exhaust
2U switch or two 1U switches
CAUTION: Ensure the required
airflow for safe operation of
equipment is not compromised
when installing the Geist SwitchAir
device.
WARNING: Take precaution to
avoid interference with the switch’s
input power cords when installing
behind a live switch.
1. Preparing for installation
Before installing the SwitchAir
device, remove and save the
upper and lower screws that
attach each of the two switch
mounting bracket rails (left and
right) to the front rack uprights
(if necessary). Leave the middle
screws in place.
The SwitchAir device is not
shipped in the fully extended
position. Pull evenly on the
chassis mounting tabs for the
desired depth.
2. Installing the device
Insert the SwitchAir device into
the open rack space at the
same U height as the 2U switch
(or two 1U switches). As the
SwitchAir device is pushed into
the space, the SwitchAir rail
tabs engage the switch
mounting bracket rails for
support during installation.
Keep pushing the SwitchAir
device into the space until the
SwitchAir front chassis
mounting tabs are flush with
the rack’s front rails.
Reinstall the previously
removed screws to complete
the installation.
