Prepare the installation site. Make sure that the physical environment
into which you will be installing the switch is properly prepared including
having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch, and
having a good location for the switch. Please see page 2-3 for some
installation precautions.
Verify that the switch passes its self test. This is a simple process of
plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs on
the switch's front panel show correct operation. See page 2-6.
Mount the switch. The Series 2700 Switches can be mounted in a 19-inch
telco rack or equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface.
Connect power to the switch. Once the switch is mounted, plug it in to
the nearby AC power source.
Connect the network devices. Using the appropriate network cables,
connect servers, hubs, other switches, routers, and other network devices
to the switch ports.
