Installation

Overview

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

2800 series of Web-managed Gigabit Ethernet switches:

• PowerConnect 2808

• PowerConnect 2816

• PowerConnect 2824

• PowerConnect 2848

The PowerConnect 2800 series can be used to connect workstations and other network devices, such

as:

•Servers

•Hubs

•Routers

The PowerConnect devices are primarily intended for the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) that

require high performance edge connectivity. These PowerConnect devices are ideal for the small to

medium business that requires high performance network connectivity along with advanced web

management features. The PowerConnect management features are designed to minimize

administrative management effort, while enhancing and improving network traffic control.

The switch is delivered from the factory in Unmanaged Mode. If users wish to use the switch as an

unmanaged switch, they can simply plug the switch in and start using it. No configuration is

necessary. If the same user wishes to use the switch as a managed switch, they need to change the

mode from Unmanaged to Managed, as described in the Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2800 Series User’s

Guide, available on the Documentation CD. Alternatively, you may check the Dell support website

at www.support.dell.com for the latest documentations and software updates.

Site Preparation

Site Requirements

The PowerConnect 2808/16/24/48 devices can be mounted in a standard equipment rack, placed on

a tabletop, or mounted on the wall.

Installation

Before installing the device, verify that the site selected for the device meets the following site

requirements:

•

Power

— The device is installed within 1.5 m (5 feet) of a grounded, easily accessible outlet 220/110

VAC, 50/60 Hz.

•

General

— Ensure that the power supply is correctly installed.

•

Clearance

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

power connections, and ventilation.

•

Cabling

— 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 device operating temperature range is 0 to 45 °C (32 to

113 °F) at a relative humidity of up to 95%, non-condensing. Verify that water or moisture cannot enter

the device case.

Unpacking

Package Contents

While unpacking the device, ensure that the following items are included:

• The device

• AC power cable

• Self-adhesive rubber pads (for on-shelf installation)

• Rack-mount kit for installation

• Documentation CD

• Product Information Guide

Unpacking the Device

To unpack the PowerConnect device:

NOTE:

Before unpacking the device, inspect the packaging and report any evidence of damage.

Place the box on a clean flat surface.

Open the box or remove the box top.

Carefully remove the device from the package and place it on a secure, stable and clean surface.

Remove all packing material.

Inspect the product for damage. Report any damage immediately.

Mounting the Device

Overview

The following mounting instructions apply to the PowerConnect 2808/16/24/48 devices. There are

three device mounting options:

• Installing in a Rack

• Installing on a Flat Surface

• Installing on a Wall

Installation Precautions

CAUTION Before performing any of the following procedures, read and follow the safety instructions

located in your Product Information Guide.

CAUTION Observe the following points before performing the procedures in this section:

• Ensure that the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from

becoming unstable and/or falling over.

• Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded.

• Observe and follow the service markings. Do not service any device except as explained in the

system documentation. Opening or removing covers marked with a triangular symbol with a

lighting bolt may cause electrical shock. These components are to be serviced by trained service

technicians only.

• Ensure that the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.

• Ensure that the device is not exposed to water.

• Ensure that the device is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.

• Ensure that the cooling vents are not blocked.

• Do not push foreign objects into the device, as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Use the device only with approved equipment.

• Allow the device to cool before removing covers or touching internal equipment.

Mounting the Device

• Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To

determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all

devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the

circuit.

• Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed

40ºC (104ºF).

• Ensure that the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.

Device Rack Installation

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 device.

CAUTION:

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

CAUTION:

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

Install the device in a rack as follows:

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

Figure 2-1. Bracket Installation for Rack Mounting

Insert the supplied screws into the rack mounting holes and tighten with a screwdriver.

Repeat the process for the rack-mounting bracket on the other side of the device.
