Supply Circuit
Take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.
Warning
Step 1
Bolt the rack to the subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.
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 discharge damage when you
handle ungrounded components during installation.
Step 3
If you need access to the source power at the rack, include one of the following:
•
For AC power, include an AC circuit that meets the power specifications of the switch (see
Requirements, on page 7
). This circuit must include receptacles that match your local and national requirements
and match the needs of the power cable used with the power supply unit.
•
For DC power, include a DC circuit that meets the power specifications of the switch (see
Requirements, on page 7
). This circuit must include a circuit breaker so that you can safely connect the power
cables to the power supply.
If you are using the combined mode or
n
+1 redundancy mode, you need only one power source. If you are using
the
n
+
n
redundancy mode, you need two power sources (one power source for each power supply).
Note
Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
The switch is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any
items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.
Note
Before You Begin
To protect the electrical components in the switch, you must wear a grounded ESD strap and handle modules
by only their handles and carrier edges. To ground the ESD strap, make sure that it is attached to an earth
ground, a grounded chassis, or grounded rack.
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:
•
Grounding lug kit
•
Rack-mount kit
•
ESD wrist strap
