Mounting
A TigerSwitch 16 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions
for each type of site follow.
Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assem-
bly may be higher than the ambient room temperature,
check that the rack-environment temperature is within the
specified operating temperature range.
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top
of a rack-mounted unit
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the
rack assembly is not overloaded.
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly
grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the AC power
mains.
To rack mount a switch:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided
in the Bracket Mounting Kit.
