Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Preparing for Installation

Warning To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of:

113°F (45°C) Statement 1047

Warning No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open. Statement 1073

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074

Warning To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least: 3 in. (7.6 cm) Statement 1076

Note The grounding architecture of this product is DC-isolated (DC-I).

Installation Guidelines

Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

For the clearance to the front and rear panels, make sure that

Front-panel indicators can be easily read.

Clearance is at least 4.4 in. (11.1 cm) from switch rear panel.

Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.

The SFP or SFP+ module minimum bend radius and connector length is met. See the SFP or SFP+ module documentation for more information.

For switches with the optional 1025-W power-supply module (PWR-C2-1025WAC=), first rack-mount the switch before installing the power-supply module.

Make sure power-supply modules and fan modules are securely inserted in the chassis before moving the switch.

When connecting or disconnecting the power cord on a switch that is installed above or below a 1025-W power supply-equipped switch, you might need to remove the module from the switch to access the power cord.

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.

For copper connections on Ethernet ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).

For cable requirements for SFP+ module connections, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page B-5. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the maximum cable length.
