Installati on!Cons iderations!
Keep the following considerations in mind when installing and cabling switches.
Power!
• Verify that power cords easily reach from the power outlets to the switch power supply modules.
• Ensure that appropriate grounding and
current surge protection are in place before connecting the
switch to a power
source.
• All input connections must be accessible (not blocked) at all times.
• Note that single power supplies and fan modules can be hot-swapped with power connected. Also,
I/O cables can be plugged and unplugged with the switch power connected and the switch powered
up.
• Invasive switch servicing requiring that the case be opened, must be accomplished by qualified
Plexxi support personnel. In this case, all power must be disconnected before servicing the switch.
Working!with!Optical!Cables!
• Avoid excessive bending which can damage optical cables.
• Verify that ample clearance exists to allow
unrestricted cabling.
