5.Place the switch in the equipment rack.
6.Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the equipment rack with the appropriate screws (supplied).
Important: Make sure the switch is supported until all the mounting screws for each bracket are secured to the equipment rack. Failure to do so could cause the switch to fall, which may result in personal injury or damage to the switch.
2.2.1 Equipment Rack Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to ensure that the switch will fit safely within the equipment rack:
•Size: 17.5 x 12.7 x 1.8 inches (440 x 234 x 45 mm)
•Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room in which the temperature remains below 104° F (40° C). Be sure that no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, block airflow to or from the vents of the switch
•Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that adequate clearance for servicing the switch from the front exists
2.3 SFP Mini GBIC Ports
The GBIC Interface is the industry standard for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces.
The Gigabit SFP module inserts into the Mini GBIC port to create a new Gigabit port. The
To install the module, do the following:
1.Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. The module is keyed to help establish the correct position.
2.Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
3.Remove the module’s rubber port cap.
4.Connect the cable to the Gigabit SFP module’s port.
Caution: When replacing a SFP transceiver you must always disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver.
