If installing the switch in a cabinet:
• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
• Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit high (1.75 inches; 4.44 cm), 19 inches (48.3 cm) wide,
and at least 24 inches (61cm) deep.
• Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain
ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power
strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if
the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or
unbalance the cabinet in any way.
• Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
For additional installation, electrical, environmental, and other considerations, refer to the SilkWorm
Switch Safety Guide.
