Q-Logic 16HA Manuel D’Utilisation

The Switch may be placed on a flat surface and stacked, or mounted in a 19” EIA 
rack. The Switch comes with rubber feet on the bottom for placing it on a flat 
surface.

Air flow is front-to-back. The top of each chassis has dimples for the rubber feet of 
a chassis stacked on top. Allow 163mm (6.5”) front, left side, and back.

If you are not going to rack-mount the Switch, simply place it on a flat surface 
being careful not to obstruct the air flow through the chassis.

If you mount the Switch in a rack, you must install the rack-mounting brackets 
supplied with the Switch. You may also need to remove the Switch’s rubber feet. 
They are easily removable in case they are not compatible with your rack. Without 
the rubber feet, the Switch occupies 2U of space in an EIA rack.

NOTE:
If this chassis is part of a Multistage Switch please read 

. It may affect the way you place or mount this chassis.

NOTE:  Rack Mounting Considerations
•

The chassis must be installed on rails or on a shelf. The rack mounting brack-
ets cannot support the weight of the chassis.

•

If the chassis is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the tempera-
ture of the chassis operating environment may be greater than the ambient 
temperature of the room. Make sure that the operating temperature inside the 
rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature as 
defined in 

.

•

Do not restrict the chassis airflow. Refer to 

 and 

 for 

clearance information.

•

Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may overload 
that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Refer to the nameplate ratings 
or Power Source loading in 

 for clearance 

information.

•

Reliable grounding (earthing) in the rack must be maintained from the Switch 
chassis to the AC power source. Please refer to the Danger notices on
