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.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Switch ground Dell Technologies 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: Software controls the module power. You do not see module LEDs when the switch powers up in ONIE. Storing components If you do not install your N2200-ON Series switch and components immediately, properly store the switch and all components using these guidelines: ● Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F). ● Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
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.
