Installing a Rack or Cabinet
Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch (48.3-cm) EIA data center rack
(or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements that are listed in
Requirements, on page
Warning
Statement 1048-Rack Stabilization
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor
before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.
Step 1
Bolt the rack to the subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.
Step 2
If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground. This action enables you to ground the switch and its
components and to ground your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. This action prevents discharge damage when
you handle ungrounded components during installation.
Step 3
If you need access to the source power at the rack, include one of the following:
• For AC power, include an AC circuit that meets the power specifications of the switch, see
Switch Modules, on page
and match the needs of the power cable that is used with the power supply unit.
