Install a Rack
Before you install the switch, you must install a standard two- or four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in Overview of Racks.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.

Step 2 |
If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground. This action enables you to easily ground the switch and its components and to ground your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to prevent damaging discharges when you handle ungrounded components before installing them. |

Step 3 |
Include one or two power sources at the rack. For AC power, provide a power receptacle. For DC power, provide a circuit breaker with terminals for connecting power cables.
