Rack Installation

A-1 Overview

Some Supermicro switches can be equipped with an optional rail kit (CSE-PT52L) to

make it easy to install them in a rack. This manual provides instructions for installing the

CSE-PT52L mounting rails onto a rack and for installing the switch into the mounting

rails. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system

operational within a minimum amount of time.

A-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the switch was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any

way. If the switch itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier

who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your switch. It should be

situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed

near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack, General and Lithium Battery

Precautions in the next section.

A-3 Preparing for Setup

The optional rail kit (CSE-PT52L) ships in a separate box and that box should include

two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws needed

to install the system into the rack. Read this section in its entirety before you begin the

installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door

completely (~25 inches).

• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for

sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, service closets and similar environments).
