Note: If a number of switches are being installed in a stack, repeat steps 1 through 4 to install the rubber feet on each switch before continuing with the installation.
Guidelines for Flat Surface Installation
Locate the switch within 152 cm (5 ft) of its power source and on a surface as shown in Figure 3‐5.
Atemperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.
If an optional redundant power system is going to be installed and connected to the
14‐pin Redundant Power Supply input connector on the rear of the switch, refer to the installation guide shipped with the redundant power system.
