2. Unpack the equipment and inspect for any shipping damage. Any shipping damage
should be reported to the shipping company.

2.2.1 Tools and Equipment Required
• An ESD wrist strap
• A #2 Phillips screwdriver
• An M6 HEX nut wrench
• Pen (felt-tip) to mark the mounting holes
• Lifting device (e.g., pallet jack) for the 12800-360 and 12800-180
2.2.2 Check the Installation Site
The switches are designed to be installed in an existing server cabinet (not a telco
cabinet), where it can be mounted in a standard equipment rack.
Be sure of the following:
• The cabinet has a full earth ground to provide reliable grounding.
• There is enough room to work on the equipment.
• The equipment will have enough clearance for front and rear access.
• The IB cables can be accessed easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the switch.
• The ambient temperature stays between 50°–113°F (5°–40° C).
• Cabinet doors do not interfere with front-to-back air flow.
The cabinet should have its own switchable power distribution. If the switch has two
power supplies, it is suggested that a cabinet with dual power distribution units is used.
It is recommended that cabinet anti-tip devices are used. This is especially true if
installing or removing a switch in the upper half of the cabinet when the lower half is
empty.
2.2.3 Mark the Rack
Allow enough vertical space in the rack for each specific switch installation.
1. Determine the location in the rack of the bottom of the switch.
2. Mark the upper (if applicable) and lower mounting positions on the vertical rails on
the front of the rack.
3. Mark the upper (if applicable) and lower mounting positions on the vertical rails on
the back of the rack.
