Installing the Switch in a Rack
Note For instructions on how to remove the switch from a DIN rail, see the “Removing
the Switch from a DIN Rail or a Rack” section on page 3-59.
Installing the Switch in a Rack
You can use an optional DIN rail adapter kit (available through Cisco, part number
STK-RACKMNT-2955=) to mount the Catalyst 2955 switch in a 19-inch rack.
The rack mounting kit comes with a DIN rail adapter and screws to attach the
adapter to the rack. Ask your Cisco representative for details.
Caution To prevent the switch from overheating, there must be a minimum of 3 inches
between any other device and the top, bottom, or sides of the switch.
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the
top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting
or servicing the unit in the rack.
