screws are securely tightened.
Optional Rack-Mounting Hardware
All OmniSwitch 9000E switches are shipped with integral front rack-mount flanges. These flanges support
standard 19-inch rack mount installations. If you have non-standard rack-mount requirements,
Alcatel-Lucent offers optional hardware for the following applications:
23-inch rack installations
•
Side-mount hardware for additional support
•
For information on this optional rack mounting hardware, contact your Alcatel-Lucent representative.
Standalone
The OmniSwitch 9000E Series can be installed unmounted as a standalone unit. Be sure that the installa-
tion location is a stable, flat surface that can accommodate the fully-populated weight of all switches being
installed.
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 AC outlets. For recommended airflow allowances, refer to
Note. For detailed information on installing additional components and connecting the switch, refer to the
OmniSwitch 9000E Getting Started Guide.
