Rack mount installation considerations

Before mounting the device in a rack, ensure that the following rack mount installation requirements are met:

  • Temperature: Because the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. Refer to RUCKUS ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specifications.
  • Airflow: Be sure that the airflow direction for all equipment in a rack is the same or consistent.
  • Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
  • Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
  • Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
