Unpacking and Installing the Switch
Before you install the switch, be sure to unpack and inspect the switch for damage or missing components.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact your customer service representative immediately.
Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping at a later time.
Tip
Before You Begin
Before you unpack the switch and before you handle any switch components, be sure that you are wearing a
grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap. To ground the strap, attach it directly to an earth ground or to
a grounded rack or grounded chassis (there must be a metal-to-metal connection to the earth ground).
Step 1
Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have
received all items, including the following:
• Accessory kit, which includes the following:
◦ Rack Mount kit
◦ Front-mount angled brackets (2)
◦ Rear-mount slider brackets (2)
◦ Slider rails (2)
◦ M4 x 7 mm mounting screws (16)
◦ Ground lug kit
◦ Console cable
◦ EAC Compliance document
◦ DCNM DVD
both of the following:
◦ AC power supplies typically require at least a 15-A or 20-A AC circuit.
◦ DC power supplies require the following:
◦DC input voltage range of –48 to -60 VDC nominal (self-ranging, –40 to –72 VDC)
◦DC line input current (steady state) of 23 A peak at –48 VDC
To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying
Caution
power to the switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.
