Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these steps to install the switch. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Ensure the physical environ-
ment is properly prepared, including having the correct network cabling
ready to connect to the switch and having an appropriate location for the
switch. Please see page 2-4 for some installation precautions.
2. Install mini-GBICs (optional—page 2-7). The switch has two slots for
installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will install the switch, it
may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can be hot
swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch is powered
on.
3. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-9). Plug the switch into a
power source and observe the LEDs on the switch’s front panel that they
indicate correct switch operation.
4. Mount the switch (page 2-11). The Series 2510 Switch can be mounted
in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a
horizontal surface.
5. Connect power to the switch (page 2-15). Once the switch is mounted,
plug it into the nearby main power source.
6. Connect the network cables (page 2-16). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
7. Connect a console to the switch (optional—page 2-17). You may wish
to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP
address so it can be managed using a web browser, from an SNMP network
management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration changes
can be made easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC
to the switch’s console port.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
