10 Quick Start Guide
Rack-Mount Safety Guidelines
In a rack-mount installation, follow these safety guidelines:
• When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make
certain the air temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed
40° C during operation.
• Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm.
• Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer
to the switch’s nameplate for its power requirements.
• Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground
connection. Do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as power
strips.
• Route and support the power cord to ensure that it does not become
crimped or damaged and to prevent it from interfering with other
equipment and cabling installed in the rack.
• The FC 6164 weighs approximately 200 pounds. A lift is required to
move and position the switch safely, and at least two people are required
to lift and position the switch onto the lift. Two or more people are also
required to move the switch from the lift into the rack and when
positioning the switch in the rack. Move the switch chassis slowly and
carefully at all times, and continue supporting it until it is correctly
positioned on the rail tray and fastened to the rack. Use extreme caution
when handling or transporting the switch to prevent injury to personnel,
damage to the switch, and/or damage to the rack and other equipment
mounted in it.
