10 Installing the Hardware March 2005
Standalone
The OmniSwitch 7700/7800 can be installed unmounted as a
standalone unit. Be sure that the installation location is a
stable, flat surface that can accommodate the fully-populated
weight of all switches being installed. One fully-populated
OmniSwitch 7700 weighs approximately 128 lbs (58 Kgs); a
fully-populated OmniSwitch 7800 weighs approximately 188
lbs (85 Kgs).
Note. OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches must be installed
“right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch while it
is lying on its side.
To install the switch as a standalone unit, follow the steps
below:
1 Use two or more people to move and position the
unpopulated chassis upright on the floor or bench where it
is to be installed.
2 Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for
chassis airflow and that you have placed the chassis within
reach of all required electrical outlets. For recommended
airflow allowances, refer to page 7. For environmental and
electrical requirements, refer to page 4.
Installing Power Supplies
Next, reinstall the power supplies in the chassis power supply
bays by following the steps below.
1 First, be sure that you do not install the power supply
upside down. When orienting the power supply, note that
the on/off switch and power cord socket are located at the
bottom of the power supply and the fan is located at the
top of the power supply.
2 With one hand, grasp the handle at the front of the
power supply. Place your other hand under the power
supply casing to support its weight.
3 Carefully insert the rear of the casing into the power
supply bay and slide the power supply back until its
connector meets the chassis backplane connector.
