6 AutoView 3008/3016 Switch Installer/User Guide
Rack Mounting an AutoView 3008/3016 Switch
A rack mounting kit is supplied with each AutoView 3008/3016 switch. You may either place the
AutoView 3008/3016 switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into an Electronic
Industries Alliance (EIA) standard rack.
AutoView 3008/3016 switches are rack mounted in a 1U configuration. The AutoView 3008/3016
switch family does not support a 0U configuration.
Rack mounting safety considerations
• Rack Loading: Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure,
causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent
location before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then
work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.
• Power Considerations: Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple
electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do
not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and
shock hazards.
• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed
the rated maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for
example, use of power strips).
To install the rack mounting bracket:
1. Remove the two rack mounting screws from each side of the AutoView 3008/3016 switch.
2. Place the rack mounting brackets next to the switch.
3. Insert the screws supplied with the rack mounting kit through the holes of the brackets and into
the AutoView 3008/3016 switch. Tighten the screws securely.
4. Install the AutoView 3008/3016 switch into the rack using the method of the rack
manufacturer.
