Rack or cabinet hardware installation
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack
mounting includes four-post, two-post, or threaded mounts. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post
installations.
The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.
CAUTION: Your switch is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use the 1U tool-less square-hole or two-post
installation methods.
WARNING: This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
Safety, Environmental,
and Regulatory
information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rack mount safety considerations
● Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment
and causing personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at
the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
● Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical
components in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded
power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
● Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C (113°F) maximum ambient
temperature of the switch.
● Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
● Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections
other than the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.
● Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.
ReadyRails installation
To easily configure your rack for installation of your S5148F-ON switch, use the ReadyRails rack mounting system provided.
You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods—two-post flush
mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded mount.
CAUTION: Do not use the two-post methods if you need your switch to be NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant.
To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
