When mounting the switch in a rack, ensure that the 19-inch rack meets the
following standard specifications:
ANSI/EIA RS-230 Standard, entitled Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
Associated Equipment
MIL-STD- 189, entitled Racks, Electrical Equipment, 19-Inch and Associated
Panels
4.2.2
Install SFP Transceivers
The switch supports a variety of SFP transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert
the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then
pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver
manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for
your transceiver.
CAUTION!
If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, make sure that the operating temperature inside the
rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature. Refer to “Environmental” on page A-4.
The switch must rest on rails or a shelf in the rack or cabinet.
Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of
the rack for service access and ventilation.
Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum
clearance at the front and rear of the rack for service access and
ventilation.
Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply
circuit may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply
wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power
usage of all switches on the circuit. Refer to “Electrical” on
page A-3.
Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the
switch chassis to the AC power source.
Note: The SFP transceiver will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install
under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
