x900 Series Switch and SwitchBlade®x908

Selecting a Site

Before you install the switch, review the following considerations about its

location.

■AT-8948, x900-48FE, x900-48FS, and AT-9900 switches require an ambient

temperature from 0ºC to 50ºC (32ºF to 122ºF).

■AT-9924Ts, x900-12XT/S, x900-24XT, x900-24XT-N, x900-24XS, and

SwitchBlade x908 switches require an ambient temperature from 0ºC to

40ºC (32ºF to 104ºF).

■There should be adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.

■The site should be dust-free and without moisture.

■Humidity can be from 5% to 80% non-condensing.

■You need a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply source, preferably

dedicated and filtered.

■Cabling must not be exposed to sources of electrical noise, such as radio

transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and

fluorescent fixtures.

■Switch ports are suitable for intra-building connections, or where

non-exposed cabling is required.

■Related network devices can be connected to the switch but cannot exceed

maximum cable lengths specified in the Hardware Reference.

■You may need to remove cabinet doors from the equipment rack to

accommodate cords and cables.

■Ensure easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.

■The SwitchBlade x908 should only be installed in locations where access to

the system is controlled. The SwitchBlade x908 is not intended for home

use. If installed in a school, it should only be installed in a location restricted

to service personnel.

Installation and Safety Guide

Installing the Switch

Ports on the switch are suitable only for connections within buildings (intra-

building) and with cables unexposed to the outside.

You can install the switch on a level surface, such as a desktop or bench, or in a

standard 19-inch rack. Some switches are heavier at the rear than at the front.

Use the brackets supplied with the switch when rack-mounting because they are

designed to fully support the weight.

Before you begin

■Read the safety information.

For your well-being and that of the equipment, read the safety information in

this document. You can also download this document from

www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software.

■Verify the package contents if you have not already done so.

See “Package Contents” on page 4. If any items are damaged or missing,

contact your authorised distributor or reseller.

■Gather necessary tools and equipment:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the blanking plate, if any.

• Rack-mount screws and nuts, and a suitable screwdriver. The

SwitchBlade x908 requires eight sets of screws and nuts. All other

switches required four sets.

• For DC installations, you need an appropriate DC power source, DC

supply cable, ring connectors, and a crimp tool for screw terminal style

connectors or appropriate connectors for the PSU model.

■Prepare the cabinet in a suitable location

Follow guidelines described in “Selecting a Site” on page 6 to choose an

appropriate location and modify the rack as necessary.

■Because the switch is deep, we recommend two people mount the switch in

the rack and tighten the screws.

Preparation for NEBS

For Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) installations of the x900-24XT-N,

do the following to ensure rack-mounted installations are earthed:

■Remove non-conductive coatings, such as lacquer and enamel, from the rack

rail where hardware will contact it. Remove coatings from unplated

connectors, braided strap, and bus bars, and bring them to a bright finish.

Coat them with an antioxidant before connecting them. During installation,

thread-forming screws with star washers may be used for this purpose.

x900 Series Switch and SwitchBlade®x908

■All bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant

compound before making crimp connections.

Warning Both AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed through

the power cables provided.

On a level surface

1. Ensure the area has sufficient space for the switch and its cables.

If you have not already done so, review considerations in “Selecting a Site”

on page 6.

2. Unpack the switch.

3. Fit rubber feet, if supplied.

All models except the SwitchBlade x908 ship with rubber feet. They stop

the switch from slipping and protect the surface from scratches. The

x900-12XT/S switch has four feet. All other models have five feet. Using the

screws provided, screw the rubber feet in the holes on the underside of the

switch. Use the following diagram to locate the screw holes. For the

x900-12XT/S, use positions 1, 2, 3, and 5.

4. Place the switch in the desired location for operation.

Installation and Safety Guide

In a 19-inch rack

1. Ensure the rack has sufficient space for the switch and its cables. For the

switch’s requirements, see “Selecting a Site” on page 6.

2. Install cage nuts at the front of the rack so they are ready for the rack-

mount screws in the following steps.

3. Unpack the switch.

It may be helpful to temporarily remove any PSU or FOM so that the switch

is lighter and easier to manipulate during installation. For more information,

see the Removable Power Supply and Fan Installation Guide.

4. Screw one bracket to each side of the switch using the M4 screws provided.

On the x900-12XT switch, you can use the alternative set of holes on the

rack mount bracket to mount the switch further back in the rack.

For NEBS ensure the rack and hardware have been pre-treated, as

described in “Preparation for NEBS” on page 7.
