Installing the Switch

All AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed.

Follow these steps to install the switch:

1.

Before installing the switch, read the safety information

For safety information, see the 

Safety and Statutory Information 

booklet. A 

copy of this booklet is supplied with each switch, and can also be found on 
the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or at www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/
support/rapier/.

2.

Gather the tools and equipment you will need

If installing a DC version of the switch, you will need a DC power source, 
DC supply cable, and wire strippers (see step 8).

If the switch is to be connected to a redundant power supply, you will need 
a redundant power supply unit and cable (see step 10).

3.

Choose a suitable site for the switch

Either a flat surface or 19 inch rack.

4.

Unpack the switch

Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact 
your sales representative.

5.

Install expansion options

If you purchased optional Uplink Modules, a Network Service Module 
(NSM), or Port Interface Cards (PICs), install them now by following their 
individual installation guides. These guides can be found on the 
Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.

6.

Place the switch in its operating location

If installing the switch in a rack:

Remove the rubber feet.

Attach the rack-mounting brackets.

Mount the switch in the rack.

7.

Apply AC power to the switch (for AC models)

Plug the power cord into the AC power connector on the switch’s rear 
panel. The Fault LED should flash for approximately 10 seconds as the 
switch runs internal tests. If the LED continues to flash or remains lit, refer 
to the

 Rapier Switch Hardware Reference

 for troubleshooting information.
