3 Site preparations The N2200-ON Series switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: • • • Network telecommunication facilities Data centers Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any additional components such as cables or optics.
Switch ground Dell EMC recommends you ground your switch. Use the N2200-ON Series switch in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in N2200-ON Series switch installation. NOTE: For an AC-powered switch, although the third conductor of the AC power cable provides a ground path, Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire. NOTE: For a DC-powered switch, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire.
• • Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts. Store in a dust-free environment. NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the N2200-ON Series switch and accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the N2200-ON Series switch and components on an antistatic surface.
4 N2200-ON Series switch installation To install the N2200-ON Series switch, complete the installation procedures in the order that is presented in this chapter. Always handle the switch and components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the N2200-ON Series switch and components.
5. Inspect the product and accessories for damage. Rack or cabinet hardware installation You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Rack mounting includes four-post, two-post, or threaded mounts. WARNING: This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
Desktop One mounting option is to place the N2200-ON Series switch on a desktop. The mounting supplies for this installation ship with the switch. 1. Locate the four rubber feet shipped with the switch. 2. Remove the paper backing on the bottom of a rubber foot. 3. Adhere the rubber foot to one of the four round position marks on the underside of the switch. 4. Repeat the process for the remaining three rubber feet. 5. Turn the switch over and place on a desktop.
4. Slide the switch into the two-post rack until the mounting bracket ears line up with the rack. 5. Attach the switch to the two-post rack using two number 12-24 screws on each side. To uninstall the switch from the rack, unscrew the four number 12-24 rackmount screws. Two-post flush-mount switch installation NOTE: To install an external power supply, see the External Power Supply (EPS) Installation for the Dell EMC PowerSwitch N2200-ON and N3200-ON Series Switches at www.dell.com/support. 1.
5. Attach the switch to the two-post rack using two number 12-24 screws on each side. To uninstall the switch from the rack, unscrew the four number 12-24 rackmount screws. Wall- or ceiling-mount switch installation This installation procedure is for the full-width N2200-ON Series switches only. NOTE: To install an external power supply, see the External Power Supply (EPS) Installation for the Dell EMC PowerSwitch N2200-ON and N3200-ON Series Switches at www.dell.com/support.
5. Drill eight 8 mm (0.3 in) holes in the wall or ceiling at the pencil marks. 6. Install the eight anchors into the holes. 7. Screw one M5 screw on each corner, four screws total, into the anchors, leaving approximately 5 mm (0.20 in) gap between the anchor and the screw. 8. Slide the switch onto the screws and tighten the screws to secure the switch in place. Torque the screws to 24 in-lbs. Wall mount 9. Screw the remaining four M5 screws into the anchors and tighten the screws.
Wall mount ceiling mount One RU ReadyRails installation Install the N2200-ON Series switch using one of the following installation instructions. You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less square-hole method or one of three possible 1U threaded round-hole methods. The tooled installation methods include two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded mount. NOTE: You must order the ReadyRails mounting supplies for this installation separately.
Figure 2. Separate rails 1U Tool-less mount ReadyRail installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. Face the ReadyRails flange ears facing outward. Place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back flange rail pegs in the back vertical post flange. The center extractions show how the pegs appear in both the square and nonthreaded round holes. 2.
3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release on each flange ear and unseat each rail. Flush-mount ReadyRail installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1. Remove the latch castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly, item 1. To remove the two screws from each front flange ear on the switch side of the rail and remove each latch casting, use a Torx screwdriver.
2. Slide the back bracket towards the post. Secure it to the post flange with two user-supplied screws, items 2 and 3. 3. Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Threaded ReadyRails installation NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly. 1.
Figure 3. Four-post threaded round-hole installation 2. Attach the front and back flanges for each rail to the post flanges with two user-supplied screws at each end. Optics installation The N2200-ON Series has QSFP+ and SFP28 optical ports. For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at www.dell.com/support or contact your Dell EMC Sales representative. CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Switch start-up Supply power to the N2200-ON Series switch after you install your switch. Dell EMC recommends reinspecting your switch before powering it up. Verify the following: • • • • • Optional: The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded. Optional: The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded. The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room temperature, is within the limits that are specified for the N2200-ON Series switch.
10. Confirm that the software version of the replacement switch is the same as the previously installed switch. show version If the software versions do not match, upgrade the replacement switch software using the procedure included with the firmware download. 11. Copy the backed-up switch configuration to the new switch. copy tftp://hostip/filepath running-config NOTE: For firmware update procedures, see the most current switch-specific release notes at www.dell.com/support, Drivers and Downloads section.
