Installing the BayStack Switches

4.You can stack switches on top of one another to configure a switched/ bridged/segmented Ethernet backbone.

For performance reasons, the high-speed ports should be used to interconnect switches.

5.Attach the power cord to the back of the switch.

The BayStack switches do not have a power on/off switch. When you connect the AC power cord to a suitable AC outlet, the switch powers up immediately.

Warning: Removal of the power cord is the only way to turn off power to this device. The power cord must always be connected in a location that can be accessed quickly and safely in case of an emergency.

6.Attach the other end of the power cord to a grounded AC power outlet.

As soon as the cord is plugged into the AC outlet, power is applied to all components in the switch.

With power applied to the switch, power-up diagnostics are performed and the switch goes into normal switch mode. To do basic switch configuration, see “Initial Setup of a BayStack Ethernet Switch” on page 2-15. To understand the complete software interface, see Chapter 3, “Customizing and Managing the BayStack Switches.”

Installing the BayStack Switch in a Rack

The BayStack switches occupy one single-unit rack space and can be installed in most standard 19-inch racks. There are two types of switch chassis: a metal chassis and a plastic chassis. Each of these chassis has different mounting bracket requirements. Select the appropriate installation procedure for your chassis.

Caution: When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are not designed to support multiple units.

The brackets for both the metal and plastic chassis can be installed at various positions along the side of the switch to position it in the rack. Determine how far you want the switch to protrude from the rack (see Figure 2-1).
