Mounting the Cisco Switch

There are two ways to mount the switch:

• Set the switch on a flat surface.

• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).

Do not mount the device in a location where any of the following conditions

exist:

• High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not

exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade).

NOTE Some switches have a higher temperature rating. The SG200-

10FP, SF200-24FP, SG200-26FP, and SG200-50FP are rated at 113

degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Centigrade).

•Reduced Air Flow—Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent

overheating.

• Mechanical Overloading—The device must be level, stable, and

secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out-of-position.
