Preparation
2.2
Tools and Parts Required for Installation
Each switch provides an accessory kit that contains parts that are required to install the switch. In
addition to the accessory kit, the following tools and equipment are required to install the switch:
Two-Post Rack
•
Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts.
•
Screwdriver
Note: For DCS-7020SR-32C2, four-post rack kits are optional and sold separately.
Four-Post Rack (Tool-less)
No additional equipment required.
Four-Post Rack (Conventional)
•
Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts.
•
Screwdriver
Accessory kit does not include screws for attaching the switch to the equipment rack. When installing
the switch into an equipment rack with unthreaded post holes, nuts are also required to secure the
switch to the rack posts.
2.3
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the switch:
•
Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
•
Use a conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) to dissipate static charge.
•
Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
•
Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
•
Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
•
Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
•
Use tools that do not create ESD.
