Unpacking and Initial Setup

Unpacking the Chassis

To protect your OmniSwitch chassis and hardware compo-
nents from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage,
read all unpacking recommendations and instructions care-
fully before beginning.

Recommendations

Unpack your OmniSwitch chassis as close as possible
•
to the location where it will be installed.
Depending on your order, Small Form-Factor Plugga-
•
bles (SFPs), stacking cables, and backup power supply
components may be packaged separately. In order to
greatly reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and physical damage, do not unpack these items
until they are ready to be installed.

Instructions

1
Carefully cut the tape along the seam at the top of the
box containing the chassis.
2
Lift the box's top flaps. Remove any smaller boxes or
pouches that are enclosed and set them aside.
3
Lift the chassis out of the packaging.
4 Carefully remove any foam pads and protective plastic
from the switch chassis.
10 Setting Up the Hardware
Note. Alcatel provides factory-installed blank cover plates
for empty backup power supply or 10 Gigabit expansion
module bays. Do not remove these cover plates unless a
backup power supply or expansion module is to be
installed immediately at the corresponding bay.
5 If you are installing multiple switches in a stacked
configuration, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining
switches that will make up the stack.
6 Once all OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have been
removed from their packaging, continue to "Setting Up
the Switch."
