• Ensure you understand how to prevent electrostac discharge (ESD) damage. See Prevenon of
Electrostac Discharge Damage .
• Unpack the switch as described in "Unpacking the EX9200 Switch" on page 148.
• In a four-post rack or open-frame rack, install the mounng shelf. See Installing a Mounng Shelf in a
Rack or Cabinet for an EX9204 Switch , Installing a Mounng Shelf in a Rack or Cabinet for an
EX9208 Switch , or "Installing a Mounng Shelf in a Rack or Cabinet for an EX9214 Switch" on page

• Review chassis liing guidelines described in Chassis Liing Guidelines for EX9200 Switches.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the switch:
• A mechanical li
• 7/16-in. (11-mm) nut driver
• Phillips (+) screwdrivers, number 1 and 2
• ESD grounding wrist strap
Because of the size and weight of the switch, we strongly recommend using a mechanical li to install
the switch.
CAUTION: Do not install line cards in the chassis unl aer you mount the chassis
securely on a rack or cabinet.
CAUTION: Before front-mounng the switch on a rack or cabinet, have a qualied
technician verify that the rack or cabinet is strong enough to support the weight of the
switch and is adequately supported at the installaon site.
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack or cabinet, install the rst
switch at the boom of the rack.
To install the switch using a mechanical li:
1. Aach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
2. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent locaon and is secured to the building.
Ensure that the installaon site allows adequate clearance for both airow and maintenance.
3. Load the switch onto the li, making sure it rests securely on the li plaorm.
