2.1.3 Power Requirements
The electrical outlet should be located near the switch and be easily accessible. It must also be properly
grounded. Make sure the power source adheres to the following guidelines:
• Power: Auto Switching 110/240 VAC
• Frequency range: 50/60 Hz
• Maximum Input AC Current: 1.0A at 115 VAC full load
2.1.4 Environmental Requirements
The switch must be installed in a clean, dry, dust-free area with adequate air circulation to maintain the
following environmental limits:
• Operating Temperature: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F)
• Relative Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference. Failure to
observe these limits may cause damage to the switch and void the warranty.
2.1.5 Cooling and Airflow
The IntraCore 35000 series switches use internal fans for air-cooling. Do not restrict airflow by covering or
obstructing air vents on the sides of the switch.
2.2 Installation into an Equipment Rack
Important! Before continuing, disconnect all cables from the unit.
To mount the switch onto an equipment rack:
1. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
2. Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the
mounting holes on one side of the unit.
3. Use the screws (supplied) to secure the bracket (with a Phillips
screwdriver).
4. Repeat the two previous steps on the other side of the unit.
5. Place the switch in the equipment rack.
6. Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the equipment rack with the appropriate
screws (supplied).
Important! Make sure the unit is supported until all the mounting screws for each bracket are secured to the
equipment rack. Failure to do so could cause the unit to fall, which may result in personal injury or damage
to the unit.
2.2.1 Equipment Rack Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to ensure that the switch will fit safely within the equipment rack:
• Size: 17.5 x 10.0 x 1.8 inches (IC35160-T)
17.5 x 10.0 x 2.5 inches (IC35160-G)
• Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room in which the temperature remains below 40°
C (104° F). Be sure that no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, block airflow to or
from the vents of the switch
• Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that adequate clearance for
servicing the switch from the front exists
