Warnings

Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in Appendix E, “Translated Safety Warnings.”

Warning Only trained and qualiﬁed personnel should be allowed to install or replace this

equipment.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of

lightning activity.

Warning Unplugthepowercord before youworkon a system that doesnothavean on/off

switch.

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems

withapowerswitch, line voltages arepresentwithinthe power supply evenwhen the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power

source.

Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)

protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

Warning To prevent the unit from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds

the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113°F (45°C). To prevent airﬂow restriction, allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.

Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

EMC Regulatory Statements

Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to

earth ground during normal use.

Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made ﬁrst and

disconnected last.

Warning Donot stack the chassis on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can cause

severe bodily injury and equipment damage.

Warning Caremust be given to connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not

overloaded.

Warning Avoltagemismatchcan cause equipment damage and may pose a ﬁre hazard. If

the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the chassis to that receptacle.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national

laws and regulations.

Installation Guidelines and Requirements

When determining where to place the hub, ensure the following conditions are met:

• Cable distances from the hub to network equipment and workstations are within the

limits described in Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Speciﬁcations.”

• Operating environmentiswithinthe temperature, humidity,and altitude ranges listed in

Appendix A, “Technical Speciﬁcations.” If the hub is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature might be

greater than normal room temperature.

• Clearance to front and rear panels is such that:

— Front-panel indicators can be easily read. — Access to the rear-panel expansion slot is sufﬁcient for inserting the optional

switched uplink module.

— Accessto the front- and rear-panel ports and connectors is sufﬁcient for connecting

cables.

— Rear-panel power connectors are within reach of power sources.

• Airﬂow around the hub and through the vents is unrestricted.

• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and

ﬂuorescent lighting ﬁxtures.

Unpacking the Hub

Follow these steps to unpack the hub:

Step 1 Open the shipping container, and carefully remove the contents. Step 2 Return all packing materials to the shipping container, and save it. Step 3 Ensure that all items listed in the “Package Contents” section on page 2-5 are

included in the shipment.

Installing and Starting Up the Hub 2-5

Powering Up the Hub and Running POST

Before installing and cabling the hub, you might want power up the hub and verify that it is operational.

To power up the hub, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC powerconnector on the hub and the other end of the cord to a power outlet. If your conﬁguration has a Cisco RPS, see the RPS documentation.

The hub begins the power-on self-test (POST) after power up. POST consists of the ten individual tests listed in Table 4-2. The port LEDs showwhichtestthehubisexecuting. At power up, all port LEDs are green. As each POST test executes, a port LED turns off. For example, if the LED for port 12x is off, the boot code test (test 1) is being executed. On the hub, the port LED for port 12x turns off ﬁrst, followed by ports 11x, 10x, 9x, and so on. The LEDs for ports 1x and 2x are not used during POST. The SYSTEM LED is blinking green while POST is executing.

When POST completes, the following conditions can exist (if other devices are not connected to the hub):

• All POST tests passed—If the SYSTEM LED is green and all of the port LEDs are off,

no problems were detected. The hub is fully operational.

• Nonfatal failure(s) detected—If the SYSTEM LED is amber and the hub is functional,

POST detected one or more nonfatal failures. Although the hub is still operational and can forward packets, it might not operate optimally. Refer to the POST failure message displayed on the diagnostic console screen, identifying the nonfatal failure(s) detected (see the “Understanding POST Results” section on page 4-4).

2-6

• Fatal failure(s) detected—POST completes all tests, even after detecting a fatal failure.

If the SYSTEM LED is amber and one or more of the port LEDs are amber, POST detected one or more fatal failures. The hub is not operational, but the amber port LED(s) indicate which test(s) failed.

Youshould inform your system administrator if one or more nonfatal failures are detected. Contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support if any fatal failures are detected.

The “Understanding POST Results” section on page 4-4 provides additional information, including the possible causes of nonfatal and fatal failures.

Installing the Hub on a Table or Shelf

To install the hub on a table or shelf, follow these steps:

Step 1 Be sure the hub is powered off and is not connected to a power source. Step 2 Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet that shipped with the hub. Step 3 Attach the rubber feet to the round recesses on the bottom corners of the hub. Step 4 Place the hub on a table or shelf close to an AC power receptacle. Step 5 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the hub

and the other end of the cord to a power outlet. If your conﬁguration has a Cisco RPS, see the RPS documentation.

After power is connected, the hub starts the series of self-tests described in the “Powering Up the Hub and Running POST” section on page 2-6.

Installing the Hub in a Rack

This section describes how to install the hub in 19- and 24-inch standard and telco racks.

Note Be sure the hub is powered off and is not connected to a power source before you

perform the steps in the sections that follow.

Attaching the Brackets to the Hub

Thebracketorientation and the screws youusedependon whether you plan to use a19-inch or a 24-inch rack:

• For a 19-inch rack-mount, use the Phillips ﬂat-head screws to attach the long side of the

bracket to the hub.

• For a 24-inch rack-mount, use the Phillips truss-head screws to attach the short side of

the bracket to the hub.

Place the hub on a level surface, and use two of the supplied Phillips ﬂat-head or truss-head screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of the hub.

Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2, and Figure 2-3 show how to attach one bracket to one side of the hub. Follow the same steps for the opposite side of the hub.
