Cisco Unmanaged Rackmount Switches 2
Installing the Cisco Switch
There are three ways to physically install the switch:
• Set the switch on a flat surface.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1U high).
• Mount the switch on a wall.
Before you install the Unmanaged Rackmount Switch, follow the guidelines
in this section.
When you choose a location for the switch, consider the following
guidelines:
• Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be
connected easily.
• Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Position the switch away from water and moisture sources.
• To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a
minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm).
• Do not stack free-standing switches more than four units high.
Do not deploy the device in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not
exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40C).
Reduced Air Flow—Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent
overheating.
Mechanical Overloading—The device should be level, stable, and
secure to avoid it sliding or shifting out of position.
Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.
