10 Setting Up the Hardware March 2005
Never obstruct the air vents located at the left and right sides
of the chassis.
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of
the chassis. For detailed chassis airflow diagrams, refer to
the Hardware Users Guide.
There are two ways in which the OmniSwitch 6600 Family
can be installed:
• Tabletop installation
• Rack-mount installation
For information on setting up a switch as a tabletop unit, refer
to “Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench” on page 10.
For information on rack-mounting the switch, refer to
“Rack-Mounting the Switch” on page 11.
Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench
OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can be installed freestand-
ing as tabletop units. Locate your switch in a stable, flat, static-
free surface.
Note. OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches must be placed
“right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch posi-
tioned on its side.
To install the switch as a tabletop unit, follow the steps below:
1 Position the chassis on the table or bench where it is to
be installed. Refer to page 7 for chassis weight consider-
ations.
2 Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for
chassis airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of
the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to page 9.
Also, be sure that you have placed the chassis within reach
of all required AC power sources. For environmental and
electrical requirements, refer to page 6.
3 If you are placing multiple switches in a stacked
configuration, carefully stack the remaining switches, one
on top of the other. Up to eight switches may be stacked to
form a single virtual chassis. Be sure to maintain adequate
clearance at the front, rear, left, and right side of all
switches.
4 Verify that the on/off switch for each OmniSwitch
6600 Family is in the off ( O ) position.
