v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
v
Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room
to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack,
and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend
radius.
v If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The
cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in
the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
v
For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to
which they are connected.
v
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
v Use hook and loop style straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables. Do not
use tie wraps on fiber optic cables; they can be easily overtightened and can
damage the optic fibers.

Setting up the switch as a standalone unit
To install the switch as a standalone unit, use the following procedure:
1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed in “Items included with the
switch” are present and undamaged.
2.
Clean the four corner depressions on the bottom of the switch enclosure, place
an adhesive rubber foot in each one, and firmly press into place. The rubber
feet on the switch help prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting
surface.
