Introduction
The supported switches are listed in Table 1 .
Installation requirements
Allow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure. Note the following requirements to ensure correct installation
and operation:
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the rack’s weight limits.
• Ensure that an electrical branch circuit with the following characteristics is available:
- Required voltage and frequency as indicated in the hardware reference manual (200-230 VAC is always
preferred).
- Protection by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that conform to the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
- Grounded outlet compatible with the power cord and installed by a licensed electrician.
• Ensure that all equipment installed in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do not
rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Ensure that the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability.
• Ensure that the air temperature at the fan inlet is less than 40 o C (104 o F) during switch operation.
• Ensure that the airflow available at the air vents meets the minimum requirements for the switch.
