Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching Virtual Services Platform 4850GTS Series Installation Manual page 25

Prerequisites for installing the Virtual Services Platform 4000 in an equipment rack:
• 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.
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 43.
1. Remove the screws that hold the USB cover but do not remove the USB cover.
Caution:
To ensure proper operation, the USB FLASH drive must remain inserted in all models of VSP
4850 (factory built and converted from ERS 4850), with the cover installed for additional
protection against removal. The USB FLASH drive on the VSP4850 switch is uniquely bound to
the system it was first used on and cannot be transferred to a different switch.
2. Attach the L-bracket to each side of the switch using a #2 Phillips screwdriver as illustrated
below.
Important:
On a factory-supplied 4850GTS series switch, ensure that the L-bracket goes over the
USB cover.
3. Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated.
