Installation RequirementsAllow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure.

Slide rack mount kit installation requirements include:

Electrical requirements:

- Use a primary AC input 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz, correctly wired with the circuit protected by a circuit breaker

and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.

- Use an adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by electrical rating on the switch

nameplate.

- Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection, and maintain ground at all

times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit such as a power strip.

Thermal requirements:

- Plan the installation so that the nonport side of the switch faces the cool-air aisle. This allows the switch fans to

pull in cool air.

- Verify that the air flow available to the air intake vents meets the minimum requirements specified for the switch

being installed.

- Verify that the ambient air temperature at the nonport side of the switch does not exceed 40 Celsius (104

Fahrenheit) while the switch is operating.

Planning the Switch Installation

This section helps you plan how to install the switch in a cabinet.

To plan the position of the switch in the cabinet:

1. Plan the orientation of the switch so that the nonport side faces the air-intake aisle.

2. Plan 1U, 1.5U, or 2U of rack space for your specific switch.

The slide rack mount kit supports the following switch sizes:

1U SilkWorm 2000-series, 3200-series, and 3800-series

1.5U SilkWorm 3900

2U SilkWorm AP7420

3. For 1.5U switches only, determine whether you want the additional 0.5U or 1U of the switch to be above or below the

brackets.

The L-brackets cover three holes (1U) on each cabinet rail (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 1.5U Switch Installed with 0.5U Above the L-bracket

4. Determine the direction in which you want the switch to slide: Toward the exhaust-air aisle (port side; see Figure 14 on page 19)

Toward the air-intake aisle (nonport side; see Figure 25 on page 30)

Note

When replacing the rack mount hardware of a previously installed switch, first power down the switch and

remove all attached cables and power cords; then, remove the switch from the cabinet and uninstall all rack

mount hardware.

Note

U represents a rack unit of space in a standard EIA cabinet. 1U equals 1.75 inches (4.44 cm).

Caution

SilkWorm AP7420 only supports port-side installation due to the length of the switch.

Inserting the Switch in the Cabinet

To install the switch in the cabinet:

1. Position the power cord clips (Item E) on the outer surface of both outer slide rails (see Figure 23).

Ensure that the clips do not interfere with the movement of the rails. Position all the clips either with the tabs above or

with the tabs below the rail.

2. Insert the power cords into the power cord clips, with the power cord prongs pointing toward the power source (see

Figure 24).

Allow a minimum service loop of 6 inches at the switch to ensure freedom to plug and unplug the power cords.

Ensure that the power cords route completely outside of the slide rails.

Figure 24 Inserting Power Cords in Clips

Caution

Ensure the power cords align in the clips and do not fall inside the slide rails. To prevent the cords from

being pulled out of the clips, unplug the cords from the switch before moving the switch on the slide rails.

3. Position the switch next to the cabinet; align and insert the inner rails inside the outer rails (see Figure 25).

Figure 25 Inserting the Switch

4. Gently slide the switch into the cabinet; check rail alignment by sliding the switch out and back into the cabinet.

If there is any resistance, pull the switch out of the cabinet and realign the slide rails.

5. Secure the rack mount brackets to the cabinet rails using one Phillips 10-32 x 3/8 inch screw (Item F) per bracket and

tighten the screws to a torque of 25 inch-pounds (29 cm-kgs).

For square-hole cabinet rail method A installations, use the remaining retainer nut (Item I) to secure the screw.

See Figure 26 on page 31 for a round-hole cabinet rail; see Figure 27 on page 32 (Method A) orFigure 28 on page 33

(Method B) for a square-hole cabinet rail.

Caution

Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For power-on and

configuration instructions, refer to the hardware manual for your specific switch.
