Installation and safety considerations
2
Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting 
fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.
Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 
240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device, and is powered from an 
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is 
recommended.
Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your 
environment. Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct 
configuration.
For a 4-post rail mount configuration, order the appropriate mounting kit and refer to the kit 
documentation.
Cabinet considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet 
requirements are met:
The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
The equipment in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and 
maintains ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such 
as a power strip.
Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is 
installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.
The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance 
the cabinet in any way.
The cabinet is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an 
earthquake.
Recommendations for cable management
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the 
sides of the cabinet or patch panels to reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following 
list provides some recommendations for cable management:
NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can 
damage the optic fibers. Velcro-like wraps are recommended.
Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and 
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables 
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
