Installing the Hardware

The OmniSwitch 7700/7800 can be installed unmounted as a 
standalone unit. Be sure that the installation location is a 
stable, flat surface that can accommodate the fully-populated 
weight of all switches being installed. One fully-populated 
OmniSwitch 7700 weighs approximately 128 lbs (58 Kgs); a 
fully-populated OmniSwitch 7800 weighs approximately 188 
lbs (85 Kgs).

Note. OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches must be installed 

“right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch while it 

is lying on its side. 

To install the switch as a standalone unit, follow the steps 
below: 

1 Use two or more people to move and position the 
unpopulated chassis upright on the floor or bench where it 
is to be installed.

2 Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for 
chassis airflow and that you have placed the chassis within 
reach of all required electrical outlets. For recommended 
airflow allowances, refer to 

. For environmental and 

electrical requirements, refer to 

.

Next, reinstall the power supplies in the chassis power supply 
bays by following the steps below.

1 First, be sure that you do not install the power supply 
upside down. When orienting the power supply, note that 
the on/off switch and power cord socket are located at the 
bottom of the power supply and the fan is located at the 
top of the power supply.

2 With one hand, grasp the handle at the front of the 
power supply. Place your other hand under the power 
supply casing to support its weight.

3 Carefully insert the rear of the casing into the power 
supply bay and slide the power supply back until its 
connector meets the chassis backplane connector.
