Installation

This document provides basic information to install, configure, and operate

Dell™ PowerConnect™ 8024 and 8024F systems. For more information, see the

User’s Guide

which is available on your

User Documentation

CD, or check the Dell Support web site at

support.dell.com

for the latest updates on documentation and firmware.

Site Preparation

PowerConnect 8024 and 8024F switches can be mounted in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack

or left freestanding (placed on a flat surface) and function as stand-alone switches.

Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets

the following site requirements:

•

Power

— The switch is installed near an easily accessible 100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.

•

Clearance

— There is adequate front and rear 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

— The ambient switch operating temperature range is 0 to 45ºC (32 to 113ºF) at a

relative humidity of up to 95 percent, non-condensing.

Unpacking the Switch

Package Contents

When unpacking each switch, make sure that the following items are included:

• One PowerConnect switch

• Two AC power cables

• One RJ-45 to DB9 female cable

• One rack-mount kit for rack installation (two mounting brackets, bolts, and cage nuts)

• One set of self-adhesive rubber pads for the free-standing switch (four pads are included)

Unpacking Steps

NOTE: Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence

of damage.

Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container.

Open the container or remove the container top.

Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.

Remove all packing material.

Inspect the product and accessories for damage.

Mounting the Switch

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

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

The two AC power connectors are on the back panel of the switch.

Installing in a Rack

CAUTION: Do not use rack mounting kits to suspend the switch from under a table or desk, or attach it

to a wall.

CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all self-adhesive pads

from the underside of the switch, if they have been attached.

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

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

mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack-mounting bracket.

Figure 1 illustrates where to mount the brackets.

Figure 1. Attaching the Brackets

Getting Started Guide 7

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

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

Insert the switch into the 48.26 cm (19 inch) rack, ensuring that the rack-mounting holes on

the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack.

Secure the switch to the rack with either the rack bolts or cage nuts and cage nut bolts with

washers (depending on the kind of rack you have). Fasten the bolts on bottom before

fastening the bolts on top.

NOTICE: Make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.

CAUTION: Make sure that the supplied rack bolts fit the pre-threaded holes in the rack.

Installing as a Free-standing Switch

NOTICE: We strongly recommend mounting the switch in a rack.

Install the switch on a flat surface if you are not installing it in a rack. The surface must be able

to support the weight of the switch and the switch cables. The switch is supplied with four

self-adhesive rubber pads.

Attach the self-adhesive rubber pads on each location marked on the bottom of the switch.

Set the switch on a flat surface, and make sure that it has proper ventilation by leaving 5 cm

(2 inches) on each side and 13 cm (5 inches) at the back.

Connecting a Switch to a Terminal

Connect the DB9 connector of the RJ-45-to-DB9 serial cable to a VT100 terminal or to a

computer running VT100 terminal emulation software.

Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end to the top RJ-45 port on the rear panel of the

switch. For more information about the location of the console port, see Figure 3.

Connecting a Switch to a Power Supply

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

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

The PowerConnect 8024 and 8024F switches have two power supplies for redundant or load-

sharing operation. Each power supply can support 300W.

Figure 2 illustrates the location of the

two power receptacles on the rear panel.

Connect one of the supplied AC power cables to one of the AC power connectors located on

the rear panel.

To provide a redundant source of power, connect the second supplied AC power cable to the

other AC power connector located on the rear panel.

NOTE: Do not connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet at this time. Connect the switch to a

power source as described in the step detailed in "Starting and Configuring the Switch".
