Installing a Summit X430-8p or X440-8t Switch in a Rack

Before you begin the installation, refer to Pre-installation Requirements.

An X430-8p switch or an X440-8t switch can be installed in either of two ways:

To install the switch in desktop or free-standing mode see Installing Summit Switches in Desktop or Free-Standing Mode.
To front-mount the switch in a two-post rack, perform the following steps.

See Attaching brackets to the Summit X430-8p or X440-8t Series Switch (X440-8t shown).
Note
The mounting brackets have special “keep out” flanges to ensure that there is enough empty space above and below the switch. Place the brackets with the "keep out" flanges on either side of the switch.

Connect the power cables.

For AC-powered units, connect the power cable to the AC power connector on the back of the switch. Then connect the power cable to an AC power socket.

For DC-powered units, see Connecting DC-Powered Switches to a Power Source.
Connect the switch to the redundant power supply (if applicable). For instructions to install and connect redundant power supplies, see Installing External Power Supplies.
