When mounting the switch in a rack, ensure that the 19-inch rack meets the 
following standard specifications:

„

ANSI/EIA RS-230 Standard, entitled Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and 
Associated Equipment

„

MIL-STD- 189, entitled Racks, Electrical Equipment, 19-Inch and Associated 
Panels

The switch supports a variety of SFP transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert 
the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a 
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then 
pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver 
manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for 
your transceiver.

„

If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack 

assembly, make sure that the operating temperature inside the 
rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient 
temperature. Refer to 

„

The switch must rest on rails or a shelf in the rack or cabinet. 

Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of 
the rack for service access and ventilation.
„

Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum 

clearance at the front and rear of the rack for service access and 
ventilation.
„

Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply 

circuit may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply 
wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power 
usage of all switches on the circuit. Refer to 

.

„

Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the 

switch chassis to the AC power source.

The SFP transceiver will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install 
under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
