CAUTION: If a power supply must be removed, and then reinstalled, wait at least 5 seconds before
reinstallation. Otherwise, damage to the switch may occur.
The power supply needs this time to bleed off any retained power.
CAUTION: Install cover plates on any slot that is not in use.

Installation procedures

Summary

Procedure
1. Prepare the installation site. Ensure that the physical environment is properly prepared. This preparation
includes having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch, and having an appropriate
location for the switch.
2. Install a power supply (sold separately) and/or an optional second power supply. You may want to use
a second power supply with the switch to provide redundant power or added PoE power.
Chapter 3 Installing the switch
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power
supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current switch requirements. In addition,
be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be
used safely with the switch and power supply.
Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions. Otherwise, you may void the
switch warranty. See Shipping the switch in a rack on page 33.
Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the
power source by using the power cord supplied with the switch. For more information on power
cords, see Included parts on page 33.
When installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is near the switch. Make it easily accessible
in case the switch must be powered off.
Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a
tripping hazard.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification. See the Operating temperature information under Environmental on page 83.
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the switch. Then compare the total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are printed on the devices near the AC power
connectors.
Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the sides, rear, or front of the switch.
Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for
cooling. For the air flow direction, see 1. Prepare the installation site on page 36.
NOTE: To avoid personal injury or product damage, review the Installation precautions and
guidelines on page 34 before beginning the installation.
