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 2-3 for some installation precautions.
2. Install mini-GBICs (optional—page 2-7). The switch has four slots for
installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will install the switch, it
may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Note that 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 Switch 2510G Series devices can be
mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a horizontal
surface, or on the wall.
5. Connect power to the switch (page 2-14). Once the switch is mounted,
plug it into the nearby main power source.
