The supported switches are listed in Table 1 . The rack kit is designed so that the switch is installed with the non-portside flush with the front posts of the rack. A single height (1U) switch is shown for illustration purposes. The doubleheight (2U) installation is similar.

Installation requirementsAllow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure. Note the following requirements to ensure correct installationand operation:

Provide space in a 19-inch (48.3 cm) EIA rack, as required for the switch type, with a minimum distance of 24inch (60.96 cm) and a maximum distance of 32 inch (81.28 cm) between the front and back uprights.

Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the racks equipment load rating. Ensure that an electrical branch circuit with the following characteristics is available:

Required voltage and frequency as indicated in the hardware reference manual (200-230 VAC is alwayspreferred).

Protection by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes. Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that conform to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate. Grounded outlet compatible with the power cord and installed by a licensed electrician.

Ensure that all equipment installed in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do notrely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

Ensure that the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability. Ensure that the air temperature at the fan inlet is less than 40 oC (104 oF) during switch operation. Ensure that the airflow available at the air vents meets the minimum requirements for the switch.

Time and items requiredAllow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure.

The following items are required to install a switch using the Non-port Side Fixed Rack Mount Kit (24):

NOTE

Although this document describes how to install both single height (1U) and double height (2U) switches, singleillustrations may show either switch type as examples. The only significant difference between single-height anddouble-height installation is that the double-height installation uses five screws to attach the front bracket to theswitch.

Complete these tasks to mount the switch:

Attaching front brackets Installing the switch in the rack Attaching rear brackets to front brackets Attaching the rear brackets to the rack posts

Attaching front brackets

Complete the following steps to attach the front brackets to the switch.

1. Position the right front bracket with the flat side against the right side of the switch ( Figure 2 ). Be sure that thearrowhead is pointing upward when mounted.

2. Insert two 8-32 x 5/16-in. screws into the front pair of vertically aligned holes in the bracket and then into thepair of holes on the side of the switch.

3. Insert four more 8-32 x 5/16-in. screws through the holes in the bracket and into the corresponding holes in theswitch as shown in Figure 2 .

4. Tighten all the 8-32 x 5/16-in. screws to a torque of 15 in-lbs. (17 cm-kgs).

5. Repeat step 1 through step 4 to attach the left front bracket to the left side of the switch. Again, be sure that thearrowhead is pointing upward when mounted.
