Preparing to Install the Chassis
• Nexus 3550-T Chassis
• Rackmount kit
• 8x M6 rack-mounting nuts
• 8x M6 rack-mounting bolts
• 8x M6 rack-mounting washers
• 2x IEC power leads
• 1x Serial port adapter cable

Already installed should also be:
• 2x Power supply modules
• 2x Fan modules
Note
The power supplies have an arrow on the exhaust fan that points in the direction of airflow. Fan modules are
colored red for port-side intake and blue for port-side exhaust.
There is adequate clearance around the rack to install the switch and to allow for unimpeded airflow.
You have the following equipment in addition to the switch and the kits shipped with the switch:
• Eight customer-supplied 12-24 or 10-32 screws (required for attaching slider rails and mounting bracket
to the mounting rails)
• Number 1 and number 2 Philips screwdrivers with torque capability
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level
• ESD wrist strap or other grounding device (wrist strap can be found in the accessory kit)
• Antistatic surface large enough to place the switch
• Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation requirements;
the required length depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities
• Crimping tool large enough to accommodate the girth of the grounding lug
• Wire stripping tool
