Unpacking the Switch

To unpack the switch:

1.Inspect the outer shipping container for any damage that may have occurred in shipping and report any sign of damage to the appropriate shipping agency.

2.Remove the switch from the shipping container; save the shipping container, foam, and anti-static bags—returning the switch in any other container or packing material may void its warranty.

3.Inspect the switch thoroughly. (If any signs of damage are seen, notify your sales representative and/or the shipping agency.)

Installing the Switch

Note: For information on environmental requirements, see “Operating Conditions” on page 59.

Note: The plug on the power cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. To cycle power to the switch, remove and reconnect the switch’s power cord.

You can install the switch into an equipment rack or place it on a desktop.

To mount the switch in a rack, consult the installation documentation that shipped with the rack-mounting kit (ordered separately).

To place the switch on a desktop:

1.Turn the switch upside down so the case bottom is facing up.

2.Install a self-adhesive pad on each corner of the switch (prevents surface damage) at the corner marks on the switch underside.

3.Turn the switch right side up so the case bottom is facing down.

4.Attach one end of the switch’s power cord to the switch’s power inlet socket and the other end to a properly earthed receptacle (outlet).

5.Insert the power cord firmly into the power inlet socket.

The switch is now powered on. The switch automatically executes a Power-On Self Test (POST) and its LEDs display the test results (for a description of the POST sequence, see “Performing a Power On Systems Test” on page 4).
