Preparation
2.1Site Selection
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the switch:
•Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the switch where there is ample
airflow to the front and back of the switch. The ambient temperature should not go below 0° or
exceed 40°C.
Important! To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F).
Pour empêcher l'interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température ambiante
est supérieure à 40°C (104°F).
•Airflow Orientation: Determine airflow direction of the four fan modules and two power supply
modules on the rear panel. Fan and power supply module handles indicate airflow direction:
•Blue Handle: Air Inlet module.
•Red Handle: Air Exit module.
Figure 2-1 on page 6 displays fan and power supply module locations on the rear panel. Their red
handles indicate that they are air exit modules. Verify that each module has the same airflow
direction. Base the switch orientation on the airflow direction of the modules to assure the air inlet
is always oriented toward the cool aisle:
•Air Exit modules: orient the rear panel toward the hot aisle.
•Air Inlet modules: orient the rear panel toward the cool aisle.
If the airflow direction is not compatible with the installation site, contact your sales representative
to obtain modules that circulate air in the opposite direction.

Figure 2-1: Fan and Power Supply (Air Exit) Modules
•Rack Space: Install the switch in a 19" rack or cabinet. The switch height is 2 RU. The accessory
kit provides mounting brackets for four-post racks. Contact your sales representative to obtain
two-post mounting brackets.
When mounting the switch in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the
heaviest equipment at the bottom. Load the switch at the bottom if it is the only item in the rack.
•Power Requirements: Power requirements vary by switch and power supply model. Refer to
Table 1-1 for information regarding your specific system.
Two circuits provide redundancy protection. Section 4.1 describes power cable requirements.
Important! The power input plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times; it provides the primary
method of disconnecting power from the system.
La combinaison de la puissance-prise d'entrée doit être accessible en tout temps ; Il fournit le principal
moyen de coupure d'alimentation du système.
•Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and
foreign objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify these guidelines are met:
•Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
•All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
•Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
Important! All power connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.
Toutes les connexions d'alimentation doivent être enlevées pour hors tension l'appareil.
Important! This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas.

•Section 3.2 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a four-post rack.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Chapter 4.
3.1Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach
the brackets to the rack posts. Two-post accessory kits includes 2 three-hole mounting brackets.
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes; the number of pins (six or seven)
varies by switch model. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placement
where the flange is either flush with the front and rear panels, or not flush with the panels. Each bracket
hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Important! Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent s’engager tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure..
Figure 3-1 displays proper bracket mount configuration examples. Figure 3-2 on page 10 displays
improper bracket mount configuration examples.

The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the
switch onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts.
The installation kit provides two bracket-rail assemblies. The following four-post mounting parts are
extracted from each assembly:
•Six-hole mounting bracket
•Rail
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes; the number of pins (six or seven)
varies by switch model. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placement
where the flange is either flush with the front and rear panels, or not flush with the panels. Each bracket
hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Important! Attachment pins must engage all six bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent s’engager tous les trous de support six.
