Attaching rear bracket to switch

Complete the following steps to attach the rear brackets to the switch.

1. Align the right rear bracket (Item 2) to the right rear of the switch and using two 10-32 x 5/8 in. screws (Item 5) 

attach the bracket to the switch (

Figure 5

).

2. Repeat 

step 1

 to attach the left rear bracket (Item 1) to the left rear of the switch.

3. Tighten the 10-32 x 5/8 in. screws (Item 5) to a torque of 25 in.-lbs (29 cm-kgs).

ATTENTION

Connect the power cords to a grounded outlet only. Ensure that any power cord is routed so that it is not exposed to 
stress. Leave a minimum service loop of 6 in. in the power cord(s) at the connection to switch. This allows enough 
freedom of movement to plug and unplug the power cord(s).

4. Provide power to the switch by connecting the power cord(s) to the power connectors on the switch and a power 

outlet. Some switches require you to flip a power switch to be powered on.

NOTE

Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. Refer to the appropriate hardware 
reference manual for information on setting the IP address for the switch.
