Mounting the SSA

You can install an SSA in any of three ways:

• On a desktop. For instructions, see Installing the SSA on a Desktop.
• On a wall, using the optional SSA-WALL-MOUNT kit. For instructions, see Installing the SSA-WALL-MOUNT Kit.
• In the following types of equipment racks:
  • Four-post, 48.26-centimeter (19-inch) rack (recommended) — See Rack Mounting the SSA in a Four-post Rack
  • Two-post rack (7-inch posts) — See Rack Mounting the SSA in a Two-post Rack (7-inch Posts)
  • Two-post rack (3-inch posts) — See Rack Mounting the SSA in a Two-post Rack (3-inch Posts)

Caution

If you are installing an SSA in a four-post or two-post rack, you must use the SSA rail kit to install the SSA in the rack. Do not attempt to secure the SSA directly to the rack using the small front mounting ears.

Precaución: Si instala un SSA en un estante de cuatro o de dos postes, debe usar el kit de rieles de SSA para realizar la instalación. No intente asegurar el SSA directamente en el estante usando las lengüetas de montaje delanteras pequeñas.

In each of the three rack types, you can, optionally, secure the rear of the SSA to tabs on the rails. For more information about securing the rear of the SSA, see Securing the SSA to the Rear of the Rails.

If you plan to cable your SSA with SFP or SFP+ pluggable transceivers, you may need to have 7.5 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) of clearance at the front of the SSA.

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below:

• Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 2 meters (7 feet) of the site.
• A temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

Caution

To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the front and rear of the device.

Precaución: Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se sobrecaliente, deje un espacio mìnimo de 5.1 cm (2 pulgadas) con respecto el anverso y reverso del aparato.

Warning

Before rack-mounting the device, ensure that the rack can support it without compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Advertencia: Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar su peso sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.

Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.

Avertissements: Avant de monter l'appareil sur le bâti, assurez-vous que l'étagère peut en supporter le poids sans en compromettre la stabilité. Cela pourrait, dans le cas contraire, entraîner des blessures ou des dommages au matériel.
