Install the Switch
Before you attempt to install or remove an Extreme
Networks switch, read the precautions in Safety Considerations for Installation.
Extreme
Networks switches fit into standard 19-inch equipment racks.
A four-post rack-mounting kit is provided with the switch. A two-post kit can be ordered
separately.
The installation process includes the following tasks:
- Prepare to install the switch. See
What You Will Need for the Installation.
- Install the switch in the rack. See

- Install optional components: optical
transceivers and cables. See the instructions in Install Optional Components.
- If your switch does not come with an
installed internal power supply, install one or two power supplies. See Install Internal Power Supplies.
