SwitchBlade x3112 Installation Guide
Preparing the
Equipment Rack
To prepare for the installation of the SwitchBlade x3112 Switch into your
equipment rack, perform the following procedure:
Caution
Due to its weight, the chassis should be mounted as low as possible
in the equipment rack to maximize vertical stability.
1. Reserve 311.1 mm (12.25“) of vertical rack space for the installation of
the AT-SBx3112 Chassis as shown in Figure 27.
In addition, do not mount any other equipment within 152.4 mm (6”)
above this space during installation. This additional vertical space is
temporary and allows you enough room to lift and tilt the chassis into
its position in the equipment rack without hitting other equipment - see
Figure 31 on page 60. When the chassis is installed, this additional
space is available for any other equipment that you may install.
