EMC Connectrix B Series DS-300B Hardware Reference Manual
Installing and Configuring the DS-300B
Cabinet considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet,
ensure that the following cabinet requirements are met:
• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
• Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit (1.75 in.; 4.45 cm) high,
19 in. (48.3 cm) wide.
• Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch
circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not
rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a
power strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on
an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a
closed or multicabinet assembly.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed
the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any
way.
• Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected
movement, such as an earthquake.
Items required for installation
