Installation

Overview

This document provides basic information to install and start running the PowerConnect 27xx

Series system. For more information, see the Dell™ PowerConnect™ 27xx Series User's Guide,

which is available on your Documentation CD, or check the Dell Support website at

Site Preparation

PowerConnect 27xx Series devices can be mounted in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch)

equipment rack, placed on a tabletop or mounted on a wall. Before installing the unit,

verify that the chosen location for installation meets the following site requirements:

•

Power

— The unit is installed near an easily accessible 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.

Ensure that after connection, the power LED on the device is visible.

•

Clearance

— There is adequate frontal clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling,

power connections, and ventilation.

•

Cabling

— The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio

transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

•

Ambient Requirements

— The ambient unit operating temperature range is

0 to 45ºC (32 to 113ºF) at a relative humidity of up to 95 percent, non condensing.

Installing in a Rack

CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the unit before mounting the device in a rack or cabinet.

CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Product information Guide as well as the safety

information for other devices that connect to or support the switch.

CAUTION: When mounting multiple devices into a rack, mount the devices from the bottom up.

Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the device, ensuring that the

mounting holes on the device line up to the mounting holes on the rack-mounting bracket.

The following figure illustrates where to mount the brackets.
