v Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit 4.45 cm (1.75 in.) high, 48.3 cm (19 in) wide. v Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly. v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way. v Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake. Installing a stand-alone switch To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure: 1. Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in "Items included with the switch" on page 7 2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface. a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet. b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place. 3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface. 4. Provide power to the switch as described in "Powering the switch on and off" on page 21. Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see "Configuring the switch" on page 16. Installing the switch into an EIA cabinet Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel can install and service these switches in such a rack. Attention: Read the "Safety and environmental notices" on page xiv before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures. Attention: Refer to "Rack safety" on page xx for danger and caution notices related to rack and cabinet installations. You can install the rack mount kit in either of two ways: v To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet. Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 9

Installing a stand-alone switch
To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure:
1.
Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in “Items included with the
switch” on page 7
2.
Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps
prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a.
Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure
that they are free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of
the feet.
b.
With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each
indentation and press into place.
3.
Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4.
Provide power to the switch as described in “Powering the switch on and off”
on page 21.
Attention:
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see “Configuring the
switch” on page 16.
