Installing the Chassis You can install the Switch 8800 in a standard, 19-inch rack or on a workbench.
Installing in a Standard
Rack
When you are ready to install the Switch 8800 in the rack:
1Carry the switch to the front of the rack. At least two people are required to move
the switch.
2Put the switch on the tray or the guides and push it into the rack.
3Fix the switch in the rack with the combination screw and floating nuts that are
shipped with the switch.
Installing on a
Workbench
To install the switch on a workbench, take the following precautions:
■Ensure that the workbench is smooth and stable.
■Leave a heat-dissipation clearance in the front and back of the switch of more
than 1 m (3 ft) and at least 0.8 meters (2.5 ft) away from the walls on the sides.
■Do not put heavy objects on the switch.
Installing the Cabling Rack
To install the cabling rack:
1Attach the rack brace to the left side of the chassis (opposite the fan frame).
2Insert the wiring channel into the brace and fasten the screws.
Installing a Module To install a module:
1Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
2Remove the blank plate from the chassis slot and save it for future use.
3Hold the ejector levers of the module with both hands and push them outward.
4Align the module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot.
5Push the module until the captive thumb screw on its handle bar touches the hole
in the chassis.
