Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch
Statement 1048 Rack Stabilization
Warning
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before installation
or servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause bodily injury.
Step 2
If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground. This action enables you to easily ground the switch
and its components and to ground your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to prevent damaging discharges when
you handle ungrounded components before installing them.
Step 3
Include one or two power sources at the rack. For AC power, provide a power receptacle. For DC power, provide a circuit
breaker with terminals for connecting power cables.
Warning
Statement 1018 Supply Circuit
To reduce risk of electric shock and fire, take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring
is not overloaded.
If you are not using power redundancy or are using n+1 redundancy, you need only one power source. If
Note
you are using n+n redundancy, you need two power sources.
Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch
Before you install a new chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items that
you ordered and verify that the switch was not damaged during shipment. If anything is damaged or missing,
contact your customer representative immediately.
Caution
Tip
Step 1
Compare the shipment to the equipment list that is provided by your customer service representative and verify that you
have received all of the ordered items.
The shipment should include the following:
• Switch chassis, which includes the following installed components:
• Two power supplies (any combination of the following with the airflow direction being the same as for the fan
modules):
• fan modules (all fan and power supply modules must have the same airflow direction)
• Switch accessory kit

When you handle the chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all times to prevent ESD
damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you connect to the earth
ground.
Do not discard the shipping container when you unpack the switch. Flatten the shipping cartons and store
them. If you need to move or ship the system in the future, you will need this container.
