Tabletop Installation

OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can be installed as a tabletop unit.
Note. Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow and access to the front, back,
and sides of the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to
Also, be sure that you have placed the chassis within the reach of all the required AC power sources.
To install the switch as a tabletop unit, follow the steps below:
1 If no external power supply is required for this installation, skip to step 2.
If a PoE-ready switch (OS6400-P24 and OS6400-P48) or non-PoE switch with redundant system power is
being installed, begin this installation by securing an external power supply shelf and power supply to the
back of the chassis as described on
supply installation, return to this section to complete the steps below.
2 Remove the factory installed attachment screws and mounting brackets from the left and right sides of
the switch chassis and set them aside.

Table mounted switches can be screwed directly to the table using a table mount flange kit (available
from Alcatel-Lucent). (The table mount flanges also provide rubber feet to protect the table surface.) If
this kit is to used, orient the table mounting brackets so that the rubber bumper faces down and attach the
brackets to both the left and right side of the switch using the attachment screws removed at step (refer to
illustration below).
Note. The optional table mount flange kit is not mandatory. If the switch does not need to be firmly
secured to the table surface, simply place the switch on the table surface.
