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 for the S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, and S5224F-ON switches includes four-post, two-post, round threaded holes, or square holes. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.

Do not use the ReadyRails system for the S5296F-ON or S5212F-ON switches. For the S5212F-ON switch, see One-half U front-rack installation. For the S5296F-ON switch, see Two U four-post rack assembly.

The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.

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.
