Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
Guidelines for Flat Surface Installation
Locate the switch within 152 cm (5 ft) of its power source and on a surface as shown in Figure 3‐2. If an optional redundant power system is going to be installed and connected to the 14‐pin Redundant Power Supply input connector on the rear of the switch, refer to the installation guide shipped with the redundant power system.
Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the switch.
Do not connect the switch to the AC power source until instructed to do so later in the installation process.
Precaución: Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se sobrecaliente, deje un espacio mínimo de 5.1 cm (2 pulgadas) con respecto a los lados y a la parte posterior del aparato.
No conecte el dipositivo a la fuente primaria hasta que no se le indique.
If you are installing several switches in a stack, proceed to “Connecting Stacking Cables” on page 3‐7. If the switch is being installed as a standalone switch, proceed to “Connecting AC and PoE Power” on page 3‐12 for power connection instructions.
