Chapter 6
Rack Mounting
This chapter describes two systems you can use to mount your Switch into a
chassis rack:
• Rack-mount brackets for use with a two-post rack (refer to page 6-3
).
• Sliding rails for use with a four-post rack (optional purchase).
Following are standard rack-mounting considerations that Nortel Networks
recommends you follow:
• The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 40 degrees
Centigrade. Additionally, make sure the internal temperature of the rack
does not exceed 40 degrees.
• Do not block the power supply vents or otherwise restrict airflow when
installing the Switch into a rack.
• Make sure that your rack is properly stabilized so that it will not tip over
under the weight of the Switch and other devices.
• Make sure that the electrical branch circuits are capable of handling the
Switch
and
other units in the rack before installing and powering up the
Switch.
• Ensure that a reliable Earthing path is maintained in the rack system. The
Switch is intended to be connected to an Earth ground.
