Installation workflow
Figure 1 Installation flow of the switch
Install the switch on a rack
This S12500 Quick Start Guide provides steps to install the switch on a rack. The S12500
Installation Guide also provides steps to install the S12500 on a workbench.
This section explains how to install mounting and cable management brackets for the S9505E
and S9512E. See the S9500E Installation Guide for steps on installing the mounting brackets and
cable management brackets for the S9508E-V.
Preparation
•Check that the cabinet is well grounded and secured. Make sure the layout inside the rack
for the switch installation is done and there is no debris left inside or around the cabinet.
•There is enough space around the cabinet for heat-dissipation.
Install the mounting brackets and cable management brackets for the S9505E and S9512E
1. Install the cable management brackets on the mounting brackets with tapping screws.

Install the switch in the rack
1. Place the switch on the support tray and slide the switch along the slide rails until the
mounting brackets on the switch reach the rack posts.
2. Use mounting screws to fix the mounting brackets to the rack posts.
Connect the PGND cable
The switch must be well grounded. The resistance reading between switch chassis and the ground must be
less than 1 ohm.
Connection in generic grounding environment
This section describes connecting in a generic grounding environment. See the S9500 Installation
Guide for methods for grounding the switch in different grounding environments.
1. Remove the screw from the grounding hole on the switch chassis.
2. Put the supplied OT terminal of the PGND cable on the grounding screw.
3. Insert the grounding screw into the grounding hole and screw it down.
4. Connect the other end of the PGND cable to the grounding strip of the cabinet.
