Unpacking and Initial Setup
Unpacking the Chassis
To protect your OmniSwitch chassis and hardware compo-
nents from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage,
read all unpacking recommendations and instructions care-
fully before beginning.
Recommendations
• Unpack your OmniSwitch chassis as close as possible
to the location where it will be installed.
• Depending on your order, Small Form-Factor Plugga-
bles (SFPs), stacking cables and backup power supply
components may be packaged separately. In order to
greatly reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and physical damage, do not unpack these items
until they are ready to be installed.
Instructions
1 Carefully cut the tape along the seam at the top of the
box containing the chassis.
2 Lift the box’s top flaps. Remove any smaller boxes or
pouches that are enclosed and set them aside.
3 Lift the chassis out of the packaging.
