Installing a FastIron Compact Switch
Installing a redundant power supply
Installation location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least 3 inches of space at the
front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3 inches of space between the sides and
the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.
Installing a redundant power supply
The FastIron Compact device ships with one AC or DC power supply. If desired, you can install a second supply for redundancy. For
more information about power supply redundancy, refer to
“About redundant power supplies and power supply failure”
If you need to install a redundant power supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the device, although the power supplies are
“hot swappable” and can be installed or removed after the device is mounted and powered on.
This section provides the following procedures:
