Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack

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.

Note

• The rack mounting ear provides three holes for securing the SSA switch to the rack. Use at least two screws or fasteners appropriate to your rack on each side when securing the SSA switch to the rack.
• We recommend that power supplies be installed after the SSA switch has been secured to the rack to minimize weight that must be supported when installing rack screws

To secure the SSA switch to the rack, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the rack mount ears are properly installed based upon the discussion in Rack Mount Ear Positioning.
2. Align the rack mount ear holes with the front rack post holes in either a flush (Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack in a Flush Mount Configuration) or mid-mount (Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack in a Mid-Mount Configuration) configuration.
3. Secure the SSA switch to each rack post with at least two screws or fasteners appropriate to the rack as shown in callout 1 of the appropriate figure (Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack in a Flush Mount Configuration or Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack in a Mid-Mount Configuration).
