Switch installation

This section describes how to install the switch in an equipment rack.

Installing the switch in an equipment rack

You can install the switch by mounting them at front or rear positions.
Caution:
When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another. You
must secure each unit to the rack with the appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets
cannot support multiple units. For a translation of this statement, see
messages on page 53.
Note:
Your switch might appear different than the following example figures. The instructions in this
section apply to all switches in Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 Series.
About this task
Install the switch in an equipment rack using the supplied brackets. The brackets secure the chassis
and prevent it from sliding around during vibration or when inserting or extracting transceivers.
Before you begin
• Ensure that you have a space of 1.75 inches (4.45 centimeters) in height for each switch in an
EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
• The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.
• The rack is grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in the area.
The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the rack
to the grounding electrode.
Note:
Avaya does not supply the bolts used to secure the switch to the rack. Ensure you obtain the
appropriate bolts to secure the switch to your specific rack before you begin.
