Chapter 2 Preparation This section discusses the following topics: • Site Selection • Tools and Parts Required for Installation • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions Site Selection Consider the following criteria when selecting a site to install the switch: • Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the switch with ample airflow to the front and back of the switch.
• Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel. Important: Remove all power connections to de-energize the unit. Toutes les connexions d'alimentation doivent être enlevées pour hors tension l'appareil. Important: This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. Cet appareil est prévu pour une installation dans les zones d'accès restreintes.
Chapter 3 Rack Mounting the Switch This section discusses the following topics: • Two-Post Rack Mount • Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis • Inserting the Switch into the Rack Two-Post Rack Mount To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach the brackets to the rack posts.
Figure 3-2: Improper Bracket Mount Examples for Two-Post Rack Mount 3.1.1 Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis This procedure attaches mounting brackets to the switch chassis (Figure 3-3: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis). 1. Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position. 2.

Chapter 5 Configuring the Switch Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) that is accessible only through the console port because it has no password.

When configuring the management port IP address, use this command to access the switch from a host using the address configured in Step 9: ssh admin@192.0.2.8 Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for complete switch configuration information.
