Ensure that you have the correct power supply:− Verify that the ejector lever and the arrows on the fan tray handles on the back ofthe switch all point in the same direction.− Verify that power supply and fan tray labels match—all say EXHAUST or INTAKE.CAUTION: Operating the switch with an incorrect power supply might causethe switch to overheat.2. Taking care not to touch power supply pins, leads, or solder connections, remove thepower supply from the bag.3. Using both hands, place the power supply in the power supply slot on the back panelof the switch and slide it in until it is fully seated.4. Repeat these steps for a second power supply, if needed.Part 2: Mount the SwitchNOTE: A switch can weigh up to 40 lb (18 kg) depending on the components thatare installed. Installation requires one person to lift the switch and a second personto secure it to the rack.1. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow andmaintenance, and secure it to the building structure.2. If your site has hot and cold aisle requirements, check the labels on the back of theswitch to determine whether to front-mount or back-mount the chassis:− EXHAUST—Hot air exits the fan tray and power supplies (front-to-back airflow).− INTAKE—Hot air exits the front of the chassis (back-to-front airflow).NOTE: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at thebottom and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.3. Determine the location on the rack where you want to mount the switch.4. If your rack requires cage nuts, install a round-hole cage nut (clip nut) or square-holecage nut—and a washer—in 4 appropriately spaced holes at the same level on eachrack post.g021064g020849aGG
