Installation & Safety Guide 7
Selecting a Site
You can install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack, on a level surface such as a
desktop or bench, or against a wall using the optional wall-mount kit. How to
install the switch using the 19-inch rack-mount kit is described below. .
When you install the switch, choose a site that:
■allows adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.
■is free of dust and moisture.
■will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 º C to 40º C
(32º F to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5% to 80% non-condensing.
■has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply, preferably dedicated
and filtered.
■does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise such as radio
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■allows easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.
■allows all related network devices to be connected to the switch without
exceeding maximum cable length limitations as specified in the AT-8600
Series Hardware Reference.
■ensures that when the switch is mounted in a rack, the switch is mounted
evenly to prevent uneven mechanical loading of the rack.

How to Install the Switch
Warning All versions of this equipment must be earthed.
Prepare to install the switch
1. Read the safety information
Read the safety information included in this Installation & Safety Guide. This
Installation & Safety Guide is also on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM
and you can download a copy from http:// www.alliedtelesis.com.
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need
You will need a Phillips #2 flat-head screwdriver and cage nuts to attach the
brackets to your rack. These are not supplied.
3. Choose a suitable operating location
Follow the guidelines described in “Selecting a Site” on page 7 to choose a
suitable location.
You can install the switch either in a 19-inch rack, on a flat bench, or against
a wall.
4. Unpack the switch
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact
your authorised distributor or reseller.
5. Install expansion modules (optional)
The only expansion module supported by the AT-8624T/2M is the AT-A46.
If you purchased expansion modules, install them now by following the
instructions in the AT-A 45 /x x S er i es , AT-A 46 , a nd AT-A 47 E x p an sio n M od ul e s
Installation Guide that comes with the modules. The AT-A46 expansion
module is supported by AT-8000 Series switches as well as AT-8600 Series
switches.
Hot swap of expansion modules is not supported on AT-8624T/2M
switches. If you insert or remove a module when the switch is already
powered on, you must restart the switch before the module can be used.
6. Place the switch in its operating location
If installing the switch in a rack:
• Remove the rubber feet on the bottom of the switch with a flat-head
screwdriver.
• Attach the two rack-mounting brackets to the switch with the screws
provided in the rack-mount kit.

Installation & Safety Guide 9
• Mount the switch in the rack using standard screws (these are not
provided).
7. Install SFPs
For the AT-8648T/2SP, you may also need an optional SFP (Small Form-
factor Pluggable module).
Do not look into the optical ports of SFP cables or transceivers. Invisible
laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibres or connectors.
The SFP transceivers must be inserted the right way into the SFP 49 or SPF
50 slots. See the figure below.
Slide the transceiver into the SFP socket, and firmly press it until it engages.
To remove it, first release it by gently pulling the release lever, and then pull
it out of the socket. Never force a transceiver into or out of a socket.
When an SFP is installed into one of the two SFP ports, that SFP port takes
precedence over its corresponding 10/100/1000T port. When the SFP is
removed, the 10/100/1000T port is once again active.
8. Check the supply voltage and the switch’s rated voltage
AT-8600 Series switches are fitted with a universal main power supply that
will function over the range 100–240 VAC and 50–60 Hz.
The specific power supply requirements for a particular model are clearly
displayed on the rear or underside of the switch. If the supply is outside the
accepted range for the switch, the switch may not operate or damage to
the switch may result.
