Installing as a Free-standing Switch
NOTE:
Dell strongly recommends mounting the switch in a rack.
Install the switch on a flat surface if you are not installing it in a rack. The
surface must be able to support the weight of the switch and the switch
cables. The switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads.
1 Attach the self-adhesive rubber pads on each location marked on the
bottom of the switch.
2 Set the switch on a flat surface, and make sure that it has proper
ventilation by leaving 5 cm (2 inches) on each side and 13 cm (5 inches) at
the back.
Stacking Multiple N3132PX-ON Switches
You can stack N3132PX-ON switches up to 12 switches high using the mini-
SAS ports located on the optional stacking expansion module that can be
inserted into the rear of the switch. When multiple switches are connected
together through the stack ports, they operate as a single unit. Refer to the
User Configuration Guide and the CLI Reference Guide for more information.
