Avaya ERS 3510GT-PWR+, ERS 3510GT, ERS 3524GT-PWR+, ERS 3524GT, ERS 3526T Quick Install Manual

To rack mount a pair of ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches:

Use the 3510-Pair Rack Mount Accessory Kit (AL3511002-E6) to mount two ERS
3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches together side-by-side in a standard
19” rack.

Note: When mounting two 3510GT-PWR+ units side by side in an equipment rack,
run the switches in high power mode to ensure adequate airflow.

1. Ensure power is disconnected from the switch.

2. Connect the two ERS 3510GT switches together by opening the hinged bracket

to 90° and attaching it to each ERS 3510GT switch with three M4 flat head
screws (included), as shown below.

3. Attach the standard rack mount bracket ears to the outer end of each switch as

shown below.

4. Once the switches are joined together, fold the hinged bracket inward.

ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches together side-by-side and
mount them in a 19 inch rack. The kit includes all necessary brackets and
fasteners and must be ordered separately (Order Code AL3511002-E6)

• One Spare Rack Mount Kit – this kit can be used to mount an ERS 3510GT
or ERS 3510GT–PWR+ under a desk or on to another surface. This kit is

also used as a replacement rack mount kit for ERS 3524GT, ERS
3524GT-PWR+, ERS 3526T or ERS 3526T-PWR+ systems (Order Code
AL3511001-E6)

• One 3510-Single Rack Mount Kit – this kit is used to mount a single ERS

3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch in a standard 19 inch rack. Kit
includes all mounting brackets and fasteners and must be ordered

If you are mounting the ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch on a table
or shelf, attach the rubber feet to the device as indicated.

Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there is at
least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space on all sides for proper air flow, and at least
5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power cord clearance.

If you are mounting the ERS 3524GT, ERS 3524GT-PWR+, ERS 3526T, or ERS
3526T-PWR+ switch in an equipment rack, attach the rack mount brackets to each
side of the device using the screws provided. Choose the appropriate rack-mount
for attaching the switch to your data or phone rack.

When you install the switch into a network, ensure you use the following cables:

• Category 5E or higher specification cabling should be used for
1 Gbps/1000 Mbps operation

• RJ-45 Console port cables as follows:

OFFSET BRACKET

AND SCREW DETAIL

(Optional) Prepare the rack:

a. Provide the equivalent of one rack of vertical space for each switch in an EIA or

IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.

b. Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached to a

permanent structure.

c. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in

the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of

resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode. AVAYA recommends using a
filter or surge suppressor.

• Stacking cables as require (see Step 7)

5. Perform one of the following:

• To connect two ERS 3510GT or two 3510GT-PWR+ switches together use
the rear bracket as shown below, with four M4 pan head screws to secure the
switches at the rear. Once the rear bracket has been installed, the switches can
be installed in the rack.

• To connect one ERS 3510GT switch and one ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch
together use the offset rear bracket with four M4 pan head screws to join the

switches at the rear. Once the rear bracket has been installed, the switches can
be installed in the rack.

Note: If you are mounting a mix of ERS 3510GT and ERS 3510GT-PWR+ units

side by side, ensure that the ERS 3510GT unit is mounted on the LEFT side
(when viewed from the front) for adequate airflow.

a. Slide the switch into the rack. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.

6. Slide the switches into the rack. Insert and tighten the rack mount screws.

7. Verify that the switch is securely fastened to the rack.
