9.

Slide the switch into the rails.

10.

Tighten the bolts to 9.2 Nm or 81.5 pound inches. 

11.

Put the switch into place and screw the bolts into the nuts. Tighten the bolts to 9.2 Nm or 
81.5 pound inches.

12.

Ground the switch.

13.

Plug in the power cables.

14.

Check the Status LEDs and confirm that all of the LEDs show status lights consistent with 
normal operation.

Status LEDs 5 Minutes After Power On 

15.

You can start connecting all of the cables to the switch.

1.4

Grounding the Switch

Check to determine if your local or national electrical codes require an external ground to all IT 
components. If so, connect a ground wire to one of the casing screws and connect the other end to 
a valid ground. If you choose to not use the ground screw, make sure that the rack is properly 
grounded and that there is a valid ground connection between the chassis of the switch and the 
rack. Test the ground using an Ohm meter. 

1.5

Power Connections and Initial Power On

The switch platform ships witone or twoh power supply units. For switches with only one unit 
installed, a second PS unit may be installed at a later time. Each supply has a separate AC recep-

 Warning: Any yellow or red status LEDs are cause for concern and must be dealt with 
immediately.

It can take up to 5 minutes to boot up, during which time the status LED may indicate 
red.

Some national and/or local codes may require IT components to be bonded and exter-
nally grounded (not including the power cord ground). You must follow all national 
and local codes when installing this equipment.
