Installation Procedures
Summary
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Ensure the physical environ-
ment is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling
ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the
switch. See page 2-3 for some installation precautions.
2. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-5). Plug the switch into a
power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel
indicate correct switch operation. When self test is complete, unplug the
switch.

can be reversed from the default direction by reversing the fans.
4. Mount the switch (page 2-10). The Switch can be mounted in a 19-inch
telco rack, or in an equipment cabinet.
