Installingtheswitchinarack
TheSL8500Model4199516XXRedundantPowerSwitchfitsanystandard,19‐inch
rack.Toinstalltheswitch,proceedasfollows.
▼ Installingtheswitchina19‐inchequipmentrack
1. Ifyourrackrequirescagenuts,installonenutintheupperandlowermounting
holesoftheselectedRUonboththeleftandrightpostsoftherack.
2. IntheselectedRU,positiontheswitchhorizontallyandwiththeventilation
openingfacingup(Abelow).
Caution – forsafetyandregulatorycompliancereasons,theswitchmustbe
installedintheupright,horizontalpositiondescribed.

3. Insertamountingscrewintoeachofthemountingholesinthemountingbrackets
onthefrontofswitch(Babove),andtighteneachscrewtosecurelyfastenthe
switchtotherack(C).
4. Tousetheredundantpowerfeature,connectapowercordtoeachofthetwo
redundantpowersupplies(Dbelow)andthenplugeachpowercordintoan
independentsourceofpower.
Forexample,toprovidefullredundancy,youcouldplugthetwocordsdirectlyinto
twoindependentsupplycircuitsorintotwo,separate,rack‐mountedpower
distributionunits(PDUs)thatarethemselvesconnectedtoindependentsupply
circuits.
5. Ifyoudonotrequirefullyredundantpower,connectoneofthetwopowercords
(Dabove)tooneofthetwopowersuppliesandplugthecordintoarack‐mounted
powerdistributionunit(PDU)orroompower.
Notethatanunconnectedpowersupplywilllightupthecorrespondingamberfault
LED.
Stop here. Theswitchisinstalledintherackandreadyfornetworkcabling.
