Installing a Rack or Cabinet
Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet
that contains such a rack)
Step 1
Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.
Note
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before
you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Step 2
If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground. This action enables you to easily ground the switch
and its components and to ground your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to prevent damaging discharges when
you handle ungrounded components before installing them.
Step 3
If you need access to the source power at the rack, include either AC power receptacles or a DC power interface unit
(PIU) with the amperage required by the switch that you are installing. .
If you are using DC power, be sure that the DC power supply is grounded and that there is direct access to the facility
DC power or indirect access though a power interface unit (PIU). You must connect the DC power supply to the earth
ground before you connect it to the facility DC power.
Note
Take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.

Installing the Switch Chassis Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch If you are using the combined power mode or power-supply redundancy, you need only one power source. If Note you are using input-source redundancy or full redundancy, you need two power sources. Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch Before you install a new chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items that you ordered and verify that the switch was not damaged during shipment. -
