2.(Optional) Prepare the rack:

a. Provide a 2.8 inch space for each switch in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch

(48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.

b. Bolt the rack to the floor and brace it if necessary.

c. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.

Nortel recommends using a filter or surge suppressor.

7. If you are stacking the BES200 switches, the fixed, dedicated 1000BASE-T ports on the rear panel of the units can stack up to four BES 200 series switches. These fixed ports allow you to configure and manage the switches as a single switch and control the flow of network traffic. The cable connections need to cross over in the BES200 units so that the UP port connects to the Down port of the next unit, and vice versa.

10.To access the BES100 or BES200, first install the Business Element Manager 1.0. Refer to Element Manager documentation at www.nortel.com for instructions.
