Installing the C3K Switch
2-10 Hardware Installation
Installing the Rubber Feet
The
rubber
feet
provided
with
your
switch
provide
ventilation
to
the
switch
and
prevent
surface
scratching.
Enterasys
Networks
recommends
installing
the
provided
rubber
feet
when
not
mounting
to
a
standard
19
‐
inch
rack,
as
the
provided
rubber
feet
may
interfere
with
clearance
of
switch
when
installing
in
the
rack.
To
install
the
rubber
feet:
1.
Place
the
switch
on
its
back
on
a
sturdy
flat
surface
to
gain
access
to
the
bottom
of
the
chassis.
2.
Remove
the
four
rubber
feet
from
their
plastic
bag
in
the
shipping
box.
3.
Locate
the
four
marked
locations
on
the
bottom
four
corners
of
the
chassis.
4.
Remove
the
protective
strip
from
the
back
of
one
rubber
foot
and
position
it
on
a
marked
location
and
press
firmly
into
place.
Repeat
this
procedure
to
install
the
remaining
three
rubber
feet
in
the
other
three
locations.
5.
After
installing
the
rubber
feet,
return
the
switch
to
its
upright
position.
6.
Proceed
to

of
its
power
source
and
on
a
surface
as
shown
in
Figure 2
‐

.
If
an
optional
redundant
power
system
is
going
to
be
installed
and
connected
to
the

Supply
input
connector
on
the
rear
of
the
switch,
refer
to
the
installation

the
type
of
installation.

instructions.
Note:
If a number of switches are being installed in a stack, repeat steps 1 through 4 to
install the rubber feet on each switch before continuing with the installation.
Caution:
To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum
clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in) at the left, right, and rear of the switch.
Precaución:
Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se
sobrecaliente, deje un espacio mínimo de 5.1 cm (2 pulgadas) con respecto a los lados y
a la parte posterior del aparato.
Note:
Do not connect the switch to the AC power source until instructed to do so later in the
installation process.
