Note. Alcatel-Lucent provides factory-installed blank
cover plates for empty backup power supply or 10 Giga-

plates unless a backup power supply or expansion module
is to be installed immediately at the corresponding bay.

configuration, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining
switches that will make up the stack.

removed from their packaging, continue to "Setting Up

Setting Up the Switch

Note. Due to their airflow and access requirements,
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches cannot be wall-

free environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the
front, rear, and sides of the switch.
