Installing the Device as a Standalone Unit
Perform the following steps to install the device as a standalone unit on a table:
1. Unpack the device and verify that the items listed under Shipping Carton Contents are present and undamaged.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the device. The rubber feet help prevent the device from sliding off
the supporting surface.
a) Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the device to ensure that they are free of dust or other
debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b) With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place.
3. Place the device on a sturdy flat surface.
4. Provide power to the device as described in Providing Power to the Device.
NOTE
Do not connect the device to the network until the IP address is set correctly. For instructions on how to set
the IP address, see Configuring the IP Address.
Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)
Use the following instructions to install 1U and 2U devices in EIA racks that are from L-12.7 cm to 81.28 cm (L-5.0 in. to
32.0 in.) deep, where L is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).
You can mount the device in a four-post rack in two ways:
•
With the port side flush with the front posts.
•
With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position. A recessed position allows a more gradual bend
in the fiber-optic cables that are connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.

If the chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis does not fit into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28
cm (32 in.) using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit. The maximum rack depth for a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is
81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a
depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2 in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it installs into a rack with a maximum
depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) – 5.08 cm (2 in.), which equals 76.2 cm (30 in.).
Observe the following when mounting this device:
•
Two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person should hold the device, while the other person
screws in the front and rear brackets.
•
Hardware devices that are illustrated in these procedures are for reference only and may not depict the device that you
are installing into the rack.
