3.1 Preparation
3.1.1 Precautions
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions if the
equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly:
1. Ensure the environmental temperature is less than or equal to 50°C.
2. Maintain adequate air flow for proper and safe operation.
3. Placement of the equipment must not overload or unevenly load the rack
system.
4. Verify the equipment's power requirements to prevent overloading of
electrical circuits.
5. Verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised grounding path.
6. Equipment is to be installed by service personnel in a restricted operation
area.
This chapter describes installation of the MultiLink ML1600 Ethernet Switch, as well as
connection of the various Ethernet media types.
3.1.2 Locating the ML1600
For mounting instructions, refer to Mechanical Installation on page 3–5.
The rugged metal case of the ML1600 will normally protect it from accidental damage in a
lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status
LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while
the unit is in operation.
