Unit
1. Unpack the SilkWorm 3800, and verify all ordered items are present.

This helps prevent the switch from accidentally sliding off the supporting surface.
3. Place the switch on a stable, flat surface.

If installing the switch in a cabinet:
-
The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
-
Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit (1.75 inches; 4.45 cm) high, 19 inches
(48.3 cm) wide, and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep.
-
Ground all equipment in cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection, and
maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
-
Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis,
particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-cabinet assembly.
-
Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet's
weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
-
Secure the cabinet to insure stability in case of unexpected movement.
