CAUTION:
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 MB ohm
resistor.
Preparing the installation site
Ensure that any required facility electrical work has been completed before starting
the installation, and that there is adequate clear work space to accomplish the
installation.
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. Refer to “Device
specifications” on page 43 or visit www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking.
Installation location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices
and equipment. Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front of the device for the
twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3 in. of space
between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.
Installing the device
You can install switch devices on a desktop or in an equipment rack. See “Rack
safety” on page xviii before installing this device in a rack or cabinet.
Desktop installation
Complete the following steps for desktop installation:
1. Set the device on a flat desktop, table, or shelf. Make sure that adequate
ventilation is provided for the system. A 3 in. clearance is recommended on
each side.
2. Proceed to “Powering on the system” on page 14.
Rack mount installation
For rack mount installation, it is recommended that you use a Telco equipment rack.
The B24X device is compatible with two rack mount kits; a kit with short mounting
brackets that ships with the device, and long mounting brackets (not supplied) to
prevent the device from sagging when installed in a non-compliant (non-Telco)
equipment rack.
In addition to the rack mount kit, you will need the following tools for installation:
v
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver
v
Four 12-24 screws to mount the device in the rack.
Attention:
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Complete the following steps to install the rack mount brackets and mount the
device in a rack:
1. Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two
mounting brackets.
