Preparing for the Installation
This chapter describes the tasks that must be completed before installing the CBX 500
switch. These tasks include:
• Selecting the Installation Site
• Checking the Switch for Damage
• Moving the Switch to the Installation Site
• Unpacking the Switch
• Unpacking the Accessory Kit

Selecting the Installation Site
Before you choose a setup location for the CBX 500 switch, read and follow the site
and electrical requirements defined in Chapter 2.
When selecting the setup location, you must ensure that the switch has adequate
ventilation and space for current and future cabling requirements. You can rack-mount
the CBX 500 switch in a standard 19- or 23-inch (48.26 or 58.42 cm) wide equipment
cabinet, or place it on a flat surface as a free-standing unit, as described in the section,
“Setting Up the Switch” in Chapter 4.
