Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the
top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not
known, you must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
– If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.
– Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to eliminate
potential hazards.
– Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your rack cabinet
for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
– Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.).
– Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
– Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
– Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet
during movement.
– Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
– Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
- Lower the four leveling pads.
- Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
- If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
– If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in

xxiv Ethernet y-series Installation and User Guide: Installation and User Guide
Chapter 1. Product overview
This guide describes the IBM y-series of Ethernet switches and includes procedures
for installing the hardware, and configuring essential basic parameters such as
permanent passwords and IP addresses. This guide also includes instructions for
managing and maintaining the hardware. The term y-series is used to distinguish
these Ethernet/IP switch models from other IBM Ethernet and IP router and switch
products. Through the remainder of this publication, these products will be
referred to generally as switches, by individual model names when necessary, and
as y-series switches when needed to distinguish from other switch product series.
IBM y-series of Ethernet switches
IBM y-series of Ethernet switches provide high 10/100/1000 Mbps port density
and available 10 Gbps Ethernet uplinks in a compact form factor. All y-series
models support Layer 2 and Enterprise Layer 3 protocols. Enterprise Layer 3
includes support for IPv4 unicast RIP and OSPF and IPv4 multicast PIM.
This section describes the physical characteristics of the IBM y-series of Ethernet
switches. For more details about physical dimensions, power supply specifications,
and pinouts, refer to Chapter 5, “Hardware specifications,” on page 49.
Note: Not all y-series models are available in all markets.
