d. Mount the Switch in the Rack-Rails
Fully extend the inner slide-rail of both rack-rail assemblies.
Slide the ends of the slide-rail brackets on the switch into
the inner slide-rails.
Push the blue release latches on each slide-rail bracket to
enable the switch slide into the rack. Secure the bracket ears
to the rack-rail assembly using the thumb screws.
Caution:
Installing the switch into the rack-rails requires
two people. One person should hold the switch in position
close to the inner slide-rails, while the other slides the ends
of the slide-rail brackets into the rail assembly.
4. Connect Power
Install one or two universal AC PSUs in the switch that have
the same airflow direction as the installed fan trays.
Note:
If the fan trays have blue handles, the PSUs must have
blue release levers for a matching airflow direction.
Connect an external AC power source to the front or rear
panel, depending on use case. If connecting power to the
rear, the pass-through cables are not needed.
Use the included power cable ties to secure the power cord
connections at the front and rear of the switch.

5. Verify Switch Operation
Verify basic switch operation by checking the system LEDs.
When operating normally, the PS1/PS2, Diag, and Fan LEDs
should all be on green.
6. Perform Initial System Boot
If the network operating system (NOS) installer is located on
a network server, first connect the RJ-45 Management
(Mgmt) port to the network using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e
or better twisted-pair cable. (Not required if the NOS
installer is located on attached storage.)
Boot the switch. Wait for the ONIE software to locate and
execute the NOS installer, and then wait for the installer to
load the NOS software image.
Subsequent switch boots will bypass ONIE and directly run
the NOS software.
Note:
Refer to NOS installer and NOS documentation for
details on software location options and set up for ONIE.
