Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
Summary
1.Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Ensure the physical environ- ment is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the switch. See page 2-4for some installation precautions.
2.Install or remove a yl module (optional—page2-5).3.Install or remove a transceiver (optional—(page2-6). If you have installed a yl module, you can now install one or two transceivers.
4.Install or remove mini-GBICs (optional—page2-7). The switch has four slots for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will mount the switch, it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can be installed or removed while the switch is powered on.
5.Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-9). Plug the switch into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation. When self test is complete, unplug the switch.
6.Mount the switch (page 2-11).The Switch can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.
7.Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-13). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the nearby main power source.
8.Connect the network cables (page 2-14). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
9.Connect a 620 RPS/EPS (optional—page2-16). You may wish to use a 620 RPS/EPS with your switch. To do so you must connect the external power supply using the RPS or EPS cables supplied with the 620 RPS/EPS.
10.Connect a console to the switch (optional—page2-20). You may wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP address so it can be managed using a web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes can be made easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
