Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following:
Site Environment:
Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 40°C.
Installation Requirements
Phillips screwdriver.
Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 2U height available.
Category 5e or higher RJ45 Ethernet cables, ber optical cables and console cable for connecting
network devices.
Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate airow around the
switch.
The switch should be installed at least 2U (88.9mm) away from devices to its sides.
Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
Ensure rack and working platforms are well earthed.

1. Secure the mounting brackets and inner rails to the two sides of the switch chassis with eighteen
M4 screws.
2. Attach the slide rails to the rack using four M6 screws and nuts.

2. Pinch the captive screws on line card and rotate the ejector lever outward. Push the line card into
the slot horizontally.
3. Tighten the captive screws with a screwdriver to secure line card in the chassis.
Installing the Line Cards
NOTE: Line cards NC8200-8C, NC8200-16Q and NC8200-24BC are not hot swappable.
Please make sure to power o the switch before installing or removing line cards.

NOTE: 1. Insert the power module steadily. Please pay attention to the direction of the
power panel to avoid wrong insertion. If the position is not proper, pull the power supply
module out slowly and re-insert it.
2. The power supply modules are factory-installed, please take steps above to replace the
modules if necessary.
Replacing the Power Supply Module
2. Take the plane printed with power information as the top panel of the power module. Hold the
handle of the power module with one hand, and support the bottom with the other hand. Horizontally
push the power module into the slot. The power module is completely seated in the slot until a click is
heard.

After the system starts, the fan does not work or the Status indicator is OFF.
Please check the following:
Check if the connection between the fan module and the backplane is secure and if the connector
gets loose. If the connection is secure, you need to replace the fan module.
The Fan Does Not Work
1. Check whether serial port cable is connected correctly, whether serial port cable is disconnected,
and whether the connected serial port is identical with that congured on the HyperTerminal.
2. Check that the parameter conguration of the serial port matches that specied in the instructions.
