Safety Considerations for Installing Switches

Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove an Extreme

Networks switch.

Ensure that proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) controls are in use before switch maintenance is

performed. This includes but is not limited to wrist straps that are grounded to the switch housing and

earth grounds.

Warning

Connect the chassis ground wire before you connect any DC power cables.

Disconnect the ground wire after you disconnect all DC power cables.

Take care to load the equipment rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the

bottom of the rack and work up.

Do not cover vents that would restrict airﬂow.

Note

See Safety and Regulatory Information on page 396 for additional safety information.

See Technical Speciﬁcations on page 315 for additional information regarding regulatory

compliance certiﬁcations.

Pre-installation Requirements

Prepare the site for the installation, and ensure that you have the appropriate people and tools on hand.

Installing most ExtremeSwitching series switches requires two people to maneuver the switch and

attach mounting hardware.
