Installing the Switch
■ Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for
the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
• In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
• On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling,
except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
2. (Optional) Install or Remove a yl Module
Note Hot swapping modules is not supported. If a module is installed or removed
with the switch powered on, a reset will occur. Only insert or remove a module
during scheduled downtime with the switch powered off.
1. Remove the cover plate
2. Insert the module aligning with the guides in the slot.
3. Once the contacts have engaged, use the extractor handles to seat the
module completely.
4. Tighten the captive screws. Refer to the yl Module Installation Guide for
more details.
