After a successful POST, disconnect the power from the switch. For more information, see Wiring the Power

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
to ensure that the system remains stable. Observe the following guidelines to ensure your safety:
• Mount the unit at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
For mounting railway-application equipment and for EN50155 standard compliance, the switch must
be installed only in a rack mid-mounting position. If you install the switch in a front rack-mounting
(cable side or power supply side) position or in a wall-mounting position, a mechanical failure can occur
that results in the switch becoming detached from the rack. Statement 403
