Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these steps to install the switch. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
1.
Prepare the installation site (
Ensure the physical environ-
ment is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling
ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the
switch.
Please see
for some installation precautions.
2.
Install mini-GBICs (optional—
The switch has four slots
for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will install the switch,
it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Note that mini-GBICs can
be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch is
powered on.
3.
Verify the switch passes self test (
).
This is a simple process
of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs
on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation.
4.
Mount the switch (
The Switch 2800 Series devices can be
mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal
surface.
5.
Connect power to the switch (
Once the switch is mounted,
plug it into the nearby main power source.
6.
Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
7.
Connect a Redundant Power Supply (RPS), (optional
—
You may wish to use the RPS option on your Switch 2824 or Switch 2848.
To do so you must connect the RPS using the cables supplied with the RPS,
to the back of the switch.
8.
Connect a console to the switch (optional
—
You may
wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP
address so it can be managed using a web browser, from an SNMP network
management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes
can be made easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC
to the switch’s console port.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
