Introduction

The optional wall-mounting brackets kit provides you with an alternate method of installing your Nortel Networks* module. Contact your Nortel Networks representative for information about which Nortel Networks products use the wall-mounting brackets.

This guide includes information about the following topics:

• “How to get help” on page 12

Before you begin

Make sure the area where you will install and use the module meets these environmental requirements:

• Ambient temperature between 41° and 104° F (5° and 40° C)

• Relative humidity between 5% and 85% noncondensing

• No nearby heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight

• No nearby sources of severe electromagnetic noise

• No excessive dust

• Adequate power source within six feet; one 15-Amp circuit

required for each power supply

• At least 2 inches (5.08 cm) on each side of the switch unit for ventilation

• Adequate space at the front and rear of the switch for access to cables

Package contents

Wall-mounting hardware:

• Wall-mount brackets

• Screws for attaching brackets to the switch

• Safety cover to use with a cascade module in a wall installation

Note: Nortel Networks does not include screws for

attaching the module to a wall. Because wall compositions vary at different sites, Nortel Networks recommends that an experienced maintenance person choose the appropriate wall-mounting hardware to install the module safely.

Installing the module on a wall

Required tools and material:

• Phillips screwdriver for attaching brackets to the module

• Four screws appropriate to the composition of the wall where

you will install the module

• Screwdriver appropriate to your wall-mounting hardware for attaching the module to the wall

• (Recommended) sheet of 1/2-inch plywood attached to the wall where you will install the module

• Expanding wall anchors if you are installing the module on a hollow wall

• (Optional) drill for making pilot holes in the wall

• Plastic cable clamps to route and support the port cables after

you install the switch

Be aware of the following considerations when you plan the wall installation:

• To install two modules, remember to consider their combined weight.

• Attached cables increase the weight of the installation, and the accumulated weight of these cables increases with the height of the mounting location.

• Place the module at a height that allows you to see the LEDs.

• Remove any installed rack-mount brackets or rubber

footpads from the module.

Installing a single module

Note: The bracket with the round opening goes on the

right side of the module, where the round fan vents are located.

1 Slip a bracket over each side of the module with the bracket

tabs against the recessed mounting holes on the bottom of the switch.

9754FA

2 Fasten the brackets to the module, using two flathead screws

in each bracket.

9758FA

To complete the module installation, go to “Attaching the

module to the wall” on page 10.

Installing two modules

Note: The bracket with the round opening goes on the

right side of the module, where the round fan vents are located.

1 Set each bracket with the top tabs of the bracket against the

recessed mounting holes in the bottom of one module.

9759FA

2 Fasten the brackets to the bottom of the module, using two

flathead screws in each bracket.

9760FA

3 Set the second module on its back panel. Slide the first

module with attached brackets over the second module.

9761FA

4 Using two flathead screws in each bracket, fasten the

brackets to the bottom of the second module.

9762 FA

Attaching the module to the wall

Note: Attach the module to the wall with the front

panel facing up. Any other position compromises safety standards.

1 Using the dimensions of the module you intend to mount,

drill pilot holes in the wall for the mounting screws.

9763EA

2 Insert the mounting screws partway into the wall.

9764FB

Note: If you are attaching the module to a hollow wall,

use expanding wall anchors.

3 Set the module in place over the screws. Tighten the screws

to secure the module to the wall.

4 Attach network cables. Use plastic cable clamps to support

the cables and route them away from fans and vents on the switch.

Do not let cables hang freely from the port connectors. The weight of these cables can damage the connectors.
