Note:
The switch has the Open Network Installer
Environment (ONIE) software pre-loaded, but no switch
software image pre-loaded.
Caution: The switch includes plug-in power supply and
fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. All
installed modules must have a matching airflow direction.
That is, all modules must have a front-to-back (F2B) airflow
direction, or all modules must have a back-to-front (B2F)
airflow direction. The airflow direction of PSU and fan tray
modules is indicated by labels on the modules.

2. Mount the Switch

1
Attach the brackets to the switch.
2 Use the screws supplied with the rack to secure the switch in
the rack.
Caution:
Installing the switch in a rack requires two
people. One person should position the switch in the rack,
while the other secures it using the rack screws.

3. Connect Power

2
1 Install one or two universal AC power modules in the switch.
The switch supports up to two PSUs that must have the
same matching airflow direction as the installed fan tray.
2 Connect an external AC power source to the modules.

4. Verify Switch Operation

1 Verify basic switch operation by checking the system LEDs.
When operating normally, the PSU1/PSU2, Diag, and Fan
LEDs should all be on green.
5. Perform Initial System Boot
1 If the network operating system (NOS) installer is located on
a network server, first connect the RJ-45 Management
(Mgmt) port to the network using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e
or better twisted-pair cable. (Not required if the NOS
installer is located on attached storage.)
2
Boot the switch. Wait for the ONIE software to locate and
execute the NOS installer, and then wait for the installer to
load the NOS software image.
Subsequent switch boots will bypass ONIE and directly run
the NOS software.
Note:
Refer to the network operating system (NOS) installer
and NOS documentation for details on software options and
set up for ONIE.
