To install your Switch 4005 safely and efficiently so that you can connect it to your
network, follow these tasks:
1 Read Chapter 2 in this guide for a quick review of basic facts about the Switch.
2 Ensure that your installation environment meets the site requirements described in
Chapter 3.
3 Unpack and inspect the Switch 4005 components for visible damage, if you have
not already done so.
For unpacking procedures and information on how to proceed if damage exists,
see the Switch 4005 Key Information Guide.
See Chapter 5 for the installation procedure.
4 Install the chassis.
5 (Optional) Install a second power supply (for redundancy) into the chassis before
you install it on a table, shelf, or in a rack.
See Chapter 4 for the installation procedure.
3Com recommends that you do not connect the Switch 4005 to a power source
until all components are installed. This way, you can focus your attention on all
module LEDs simultaneously.
6 (If required) Install Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Interface Modules.
If you are installing a preconfigured starter kit and do not require additional
interface modules you can skip this step.
If you need to install additional modules, see Chapter 7 for the information about
their physical attributes and module installation procedure.
All chassis ship from the manufacturing center with a Switch Fabric Management
Module (SFMM) preinstalled, thus you do not have to install one. However, you
can install a second (redundant) SFMM to provide standby management support.
At your option, you may connect network cabling to your Switch 4005 interface
modules prior to powering on the Switch. However, once the Switch is powered
on, be aware that features such as the Spanning Tree Protocol's root bridge
election process may affect your network operations. If you are unfamiliar with the
Switch 4005, 3Com recommends that you power up the Switch without cabling
attached so that you can first spend a few minutes studying the management
interface.
7 Power on the system by connecting the power cables to the sockets on the Switch
4005 power supplies and then to the dedicated power outlets.
There is no ON/OFF button on the Switch 4005. The system is powered on as long
as the mains power source is connected to the Switch. If you need to cycle power
