Unpacking and Installing the Switch
Unpacking the Chassis
To protect your switch components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions carefully before beginning.
Recommendations
•Unpack your OmniSwitch chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed.
•Network Interface (NI) modules are packaged in sepa- rate boxes. In order to greatly reduce exposure to elec- trostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, do not unpack these boxes until the NI modules are ready to be installed.
Instructions
1Begin by carefully cutting the tape along the seam marked “OPEN HERE FIRST.”
2Lift the box’s top flaps. Remove the smaller boxes that are enclosed and set them aside. These smaller boxes contain the Ship Kit and the switch’s Chassis Manage- ment Modules (CMMs).
3Next, completely remove the white plastic handle inserts from the sides of the box. Removing these handles allows the overpack to be removed.
