53-1001274-02
Installation requirements
Allow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure. Note the following requirements to ensure correct installation
and operation:
• Provide space in a 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet, as required for the switch type, with a minimum distance of
28.25 in. (71.76 cm) and a maximum distance of 29.88 in. (75.90 cm) between the front and back rails.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits.
• Ensure that an electrical branch circuit with the following characteristics is available:
- Required voltage and frequency as indicated in the hardware reference manual. (200-230 VAC is always
preferred)
- Protection by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that conform to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
- Grounded outlet compatible with the power cord and installed by a licensed electrician.
• Ensure that all equipment installed in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do
not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Ensure that the cabinet is mechanically secured to ensure stability.
• Ensure that the air temperature at the fan inlet is less than 104
o
Fahrenheit (40
o
Celsius) during switch
operation.
• Ensure that the airflow available at the air vents meets the minimum requirements for the switch.
ATTENTION
Install the switch with the fan side facing the air-intake aisle. The chassis air intake is on the fan side and exhaust is
on the port side.
