Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the 3534 Model F08
You can install the 3534 Model F08 as a stand-alone unit or in a rack that meets
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standards.
This chapter describes how to install and configure the 3534 Model F08 and
includes the following information:
v
Installation and safety considerations
v
Installing the 3534 Model F08 as a stand-alone unit
v
Installing the 3534 Model F08 in an EIA rack
v
Configuring, connecting, and accessing the 3534 Model F08
For information about the features of the 3534 Model F08 and what is included in
each 3534 Model F08 package, see “Overview of the 3534 Model F08” on page 1.
Installation and safety considerations
You must follow these guidelines when you install the switch:
v
Verify that the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that will be used are
adequate according to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
v
The switch is designed for an internet protocol (IT) power system with
phase-to-phase 230 V. The power supply might still be energized, even if internal
power supply over current protection devices have opened.
DANGER
When powering the unit with a line-to-line connection greater than 200 V
ac, a potential shock hazard can arise during a fault condition.
Therefore, double-pole protection is required. (5)
v
Ensure the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F). This is
particularly important if the switch is to be installed in a closed or multirack
assembly.
v
Ensure the volume of air flow available to the switch is at least 300 cubic feet per
minute, and that the front and rear air vents are not blocked.
If you are installing the switch in a rack:
v
Ensure the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F). This is
particularly important if the switch is to be installed in a closed or multirack
assembly.
v
Ensure the volume of air flow available to the switch is at least 300 cubic feet per
minute, and that the front and rear air vents are not blocked.
v
The switch requires a rack space that is 1 unit high, 48.26 cm (19 in.) wide, and
60.96 cm (24 in.) deep.
v
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable branch circuit ground
connection. Do not rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power
strip.
v
Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not unbalance the rack or
exceed the weight limits of the rack.
v
Secure the rack to ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
