28 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SWITCH 6 Finally, place a unit information label on the unit in an easily accessible position. The unit information label shows the following: ■ 3Com product name of the Switch ■ 3Com 3C number of the Switch ■ Unique MAC address (Ethernet address) of the Switch. ■ Serial number of the Switch You may need this information if you contact 3Com Technical Support. Connecting a Redundant Power Supply to your Switch 4500 PWR The Switch 4500 PWR 26 and 50 port have a -48V DC Redundant Power Supply socket. WARNING: The installation of the Redundant Power Supply (RPS) should only be carried out by properly trained and qualified personnel. WARNING: These instructions must be read in conjunction with the RPS flyer and the safety and installation instructions supplied with your RPS. WARNING: When powering any Switch 4500 PWR from an RPS, the unit must be earthed (grounded). This can be achieved by either connecting the power cord to the unit or by connecting the earth terminal on the rear of the unit to a reliable electrical earth, or by connecting both. You must ensure that the earth connection is made before connecting the DC supply from the RPS. 3Com Switches which support -48V DC RPS inputs, that are PoE enabled, can only be powered by an RPS which complies with the isolation requirements of IEEE-Std 802.3af. Non PoE enabled switches do not have this restriction. WARNING: A standard 'positive-earthed' -48V redundant power system suitable for use with telecommunications equipment should not be used with the 3Com Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) network switches. In order to meet the IEEE 802.3af (PoE) specification, the -48V output must be isolated from earth (ground) and meet the isolation requirements in that specification.
