N3132PX-ON Installation
Rack Mounting a N3132PX-ON Switch
Place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19 inch
wide, EIA-310-E compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods).
The Dell ReadyRail system is provided for 1U front-rack, and two-post
installations. The ReadyRail system includes two separately packaged rail
assemblies.

Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
•
Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf
or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount
components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do
not exceed your rack load rating.
•
Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the
unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure
that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.
Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
•
Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Use care not to exceed the 45° C maximum ambient temperature
of the switch.
•
Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit, for example: use of power strips.
