Ensure that proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) controls are in use before switch maintenance is
performed. This includes but is not limited to wrist straps that are grounded to the switch housing and
earth grounds.
Warning
Connect the chassis ground wire before you connect any DC power cables.
Disconnect the ground wire after you disconnect all DC power cables.
Take care to load the equipment rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the
bottom of the rack and work up.
Do not cover vents that would restrict airflow.
Note
See
Safety and Regulatory Information
on page 82 for additional safety information
regulatory compliance certifications.
What You Will Need for the Installation
Ensure that you have followed the guidance in
on page 19, and ensure that you have
the appropriate people and tools on hand.
Installing Extreme Networks switches is easiest when there are two people to maneuver the switch and
attach mounting hardware.
Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily. Ensure that a
minimum of 122 cm (48 in) in front of the rack and 76 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
If your switch has internal power supplies, make sure they have the same airflow direction as the fans in
the switch.
Check the
Quick Reference Guide
for your switch model to see what hardware is provided in the switch
packaging.
You need the following additional tools and equipment. These are not provided with your switch:
•
Screwdriver for securing the rack mounting screws.
•
#2 Phillips magnetic screwdriver to attach bracket screws that are provided with the switch.
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap for installing optional ports at the back of the switch.
Mount the Device

•
All 5320 Series support mounting as a standalone unit on a flat surface, such as a table top. Use the
