Preparing for Installation

Required Equipment

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have the following items available:

•Four 12-24 or 10-32 screws for attaching slider rails to the rack

•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

•Tape measure and level

•ESD wrist strap or other grounding device

•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:

•Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation

requirements; the required length depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding

facilities

•Crimping tool large enough to accommodate the girth of the lug

•Wire-stripping tool

Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch

edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis

must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a

grounded rack.

Tip Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.

Note The switch is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or

any items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
