Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
The switch is now fully installed. Refer to the appropriate section in this
chapter for detailed information on any installation step.
1. Prepare the Installation Site
Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the
necessary network requirements. See Appendix B “Cabling and Technology
Information” for detailed information.
Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
■ In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the
twisted-pair fiber-optic cabling and for cooling. See Figure 2-5 for the air
flow direction.
■ In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for
the power cord and cooling.
2. Verify the Switch Passes Self-Test
Before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it
is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes
self-test.
1. Connect the power cord shipped with the switch to the power connector
on the back of the power supply, and then into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
