  • Page 21: Installation And Safety Considerations

    Installing and Configuring the DS-5300B Installation and safety considerations You can install the DS-5300B switch in the following ways: 1. As a standalone unit on a flat surface. 2. In an EIA cabinet using an optional fixed rack mount kit, slide rack mount kit, or mid-mount rack kit.

  • Page 22: Cabinet Considerations

    • Leave at least 3.28 ft (1 m) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius. EMC Connectrix B Series DS-5300B Hardware Reference Manual...

  • Page 23: Items Required For Installation

    • If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. • For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
