2. Mount the Switch

Caution:

 Do not mount the switch using only the supplied 

brackets. The switch requires rack L-shape brackets (or a 
shelf ) to be intalled in a 4-post rack before mounting. 

Based on your rack plan, install L-shape brackets (or a shelf ) 
between the front and rear rack posts at the installation 
position in the rack. 

Attach the supplied brackets to each side of the switch. 

Mount the switch in the rack, and then tighten the bracket 
thumb-screws to secure the switch in the rack. 

3. Ground the Switch

Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance 
with ETSI ETS 300 253. Verify that there is a good electrical 
connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or 
isolating surface treatment).

Attach a lug (not provided with AC PSUs) to an 18 AWG 
minimum grounding wire (not provided with AC PSUs), and 
connect it to the grounding point on the switch rear panel. 
Then connect the other end of the wire to rack ground.

Caution:

 The earth connection must not be removed 

unless all supply connections have been disconnected.

4. Connect Power

Warning:

 Before wiring the DC plug or connecting power 

to the switch, ensure that power to the feed lines is turned 
off at the supply circuit breaker or disconnected from the 
power bus.

Install two AC or two DC power modules in the switch.

Connect an external AC or DC power source to the modules.

For AC PSUs: Unwind the velcro strip before plugging in 
the AC power cord, and then use the velcro strip to 
secure the cord to the PSU.

For DC PSUs: Connect the external power feed and 
power ground/return lines to the DC plug. The -42 VDC 
power feed connects to the “-” pin, and the ground/
return to the “+” pin. 

5. Verify Switch Operation

Verify basic switch operation by checking the PSU LEDs.
When operating normally, the PSU OK LEDs should be on 
green and the FAIL LEDs off.
If a FAIL LED is on solid amber, the PSU has an over current, 
over voltage, under voltage, over temperature, or fan failure. 
Replace the PSU.
If a FAIL LED is blinking amber, there is an over temperature 
condition or a blocked (under speed) fan. Replace the PSU.
