Rack mount safety considerations
Rack loadingOverloading 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 racks load rating.
Power considerationsConnect 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 temperatureIf 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 flowInstall the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Reliable earthingMaintain 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.
One-half U front-rack installation
Install the S5212F-ON switch using the following installation instructions.
NOTE:
To install the S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5224F-ON switches, see One U ReadyRails installation. To install the
S5296F-ON switch, see Two U four-post rack assembly.
The dual-tray mounting rails ship with the dual tray, not with the switch. You must supply eight rackmount screws for this
installation.
To install the one-half U switch:
Attach the rails to the dual tray.
Install the dual tray in the four-post rack.
(Recommended) Attach the ground cable to the switch.
Install the switch in the dual tray.
NOTE: Do not install the dual tray in a two-post rack.
1. Remove the dual tray and the rails from the shipping packaging and place them on a clean antistatic surface.
2. Line up the three holes on the inner switch rail with the dual-tray mounting heads.
3. Attach the rail to the dual tray. Slide the rail back until it locks into place.
4. Repeat with the other side.
