Unpacking Steps NOTE: Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage. 1 Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container. 2 Open the container or remove the container top. 3 Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface. 4 Remove all packing material. 5 Inspect the product and accessories for damage. Rack Mounting the Switch You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack, and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch. WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin. NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch. Rack Mounting Safety Considerations • Rack loading-Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating. • Power considerations-Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards. 12 Installation
