9When the power supply is pulled out far enough (about 10”), place your other hand under the power supply casing to support its weight.

10Continue pulling the power supply out until it is removed from the chassis.

11Set the power supply aside on a clean, static-free surface. You will need to re-install it later.

12Remove all remaining power supplies by repeating steps 7 through 11.

13Continue to “Lifting the Chassis” below.

Lifting the Chassis

Once its weight has been reduced by removing the power supplies, the chassis can be lifted from the packaging material and moved to the location where it is to be installed (see important note below).

Important. Two people are required when lifting the chassis. Due to its weight, lifting the chassis unassisted can cause personal injury.

Once the chassis has been removed from the packaging, continue to “Mounting the Switch” below.

Mounting the Switch

Note. Due to their weight and airflow requirements, OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches cannot be wall-mounted.

Airflow Considerations

Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, static- free environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the front and sides of the switch, as well as behind the switch’s fan unit (located at the top-rear of the chassis). The following top- view diagram shows recommended minimum clearances for adequate airflow.
