Receiving and Inspecting the Equipment

Upon receiving the switch, inspect the shipping boxes and record any external damage. Retain packing materials if you suspect that part of the shipment is damaged; the carrier may need to inspect them.

If the boxes were not damaged in transit, unpack them carefully. Ensure that you do not discard any accessories that may be packaged in the same box as the main unit.

Inspect the packing list and confirm that you received all listed items. Compare the packing list with your purchase order. Parts List provides a list of components included with the switch.

Installation Process

The following tasks are required to install and use the switch:

  1. Select and prepare the installation site (Site Selection).
  2. Assemble the installation tools listed (Tools and Parts Required for Installation).
  3. Attach the mounting brackets and install the switch in an equipment rack (Rack Mounting the Switch).
  4. Connect the switch to the power source and network devices (Cabling the Switch).
  5. Configure the switch (Configuring the Switch).
    Important: Class 1 Laser Product: This product has provisions to install Class 1 laser transceivers which provide optical coupling to the communication network. Once a Class 1 laser product is installed, the equipment is a Class 1 Laser Product. The customer is responsible for selecting and installing the Class 1 laser transceiver and for insuring that the Class 1 AEL (Allowable Emission Limit) per EN/IEC 60825, CSA E60825-1, and Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR 1040 is not exceeded after the laser transceiver have been installed. Do not install laser products whose class rating is greater than 1. Refer to all safety instructions that accompanied the transceiver prior to installation. Only Class 1 laser devices, certified for use in the country of installation by the cognizant agency are to be utilized in this product.
