Stack Installation Guide for AT-2552XS L2 Data Center Switch

Planning the Installation
The AT-DC2552XS L2 Data Center Switch can be installed on a desktop
or in a 19” equipment rack. Observe these general requirements when
planning the installation of the switch.
Check that the power outlets for the switches are located near the
devices and are easily accessible.
Verify that the site provides easy access to the ports on the back of
the switch. This will make it easy for you to connect and disconnect
cables, as well as view the port LEDs.
Check that the site allows for adequate air flow around the units
and through the cooling vents on the front and rear panels. (The
airflow direction is from fan modules on the front panel through the
unit to the port side on the rear panel.)
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
Make sure the site is a dust-free environment.
Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply
reliable electrical power to the network devices.
Do not install the switch in a wiring or utility box because it will
overheat and fail from inadequate airflow.
If the unit is to be installed in an equipment rack, check that the
rack is safely secured and will not tip over. Devices in a rack should
be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices near
the bottom of the rack.
