Installing a Rack or Cabinet
Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch (48.3-cm) EIA data center rack
(or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements that are listed in
Rack and Cabinet
Requirements, on page 13 .
Statement 1048— Rack Stabilization
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor
before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Warning
Statement 1018—
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 ground the switch and its
components and to ground your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. This action prevents 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 Power Requirements for
Switch Modules, on page 98 . This circuit must include receptacles that match your local and national requirements
and match the needs of the power cable that is used with the power supply unit.
