To install the 2E253-49R in a 19-inch rack, Cabletron Systems includes a strain-relief bracket for
cable management and an accessory kit containing the rackmount brackets, and mounting screws
to attach the rackmount brackets and strain-relief bracket.
Guidelines for the Rackmount Installation
The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed
below:
• An appropriate grounded power receptacle must be located within seven feet of the location.
• Maintain a temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) at the installation site with
fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space
of 5.1 cm (2.0 in) at the left, right, and rear of the 2E253-49R.
WARNING
Before installing the 2E253-49R into a rack, ensure that the rack supports the device(s)
