Installing the Switch Chassis

• The rack is installed and secured to its location.

Step 1

Install two front rack-mount brackets and the two rear rack-mount brackets to the switch as follows:

a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:

• If the switch has port-side intake modules (fan modules with burgundy coloring), position the switch so that its

ports will be in the cold aisle.

• If the switch has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules with blue coloring), position the switch so that its fan

and power supply modules will be in the cold aisle.

b) Position the front rack-mount bracket and the rear rack-mount bracket so that its screw holes are aligned to the screw

holes on the side of the chassis.

You can align the holes in the rack-mount bracket to the holes on the side of the chassis (see the two ways

Note

to mount these brackets on a typical chassis, in following figure). The holes that you use depend on the

requirements of your rack and the amount of clearance required for interface cables (3 inches [7.6 mm]

minimum) and module handles (1 inch [2.5 mm] minimum).

c) Secure the front-mount bracket and the back-mount bracket to the chassis using four M4 screws and tighten each

screw to 12 in-lb (1.36 N·m) of torque.

d) Repeat Step 1 for the other front rack-mount bracket and the other back-mount bracket on the other side of the switch

and be sure to position that bracket the same distance from the front of the switch.

Note

Depending on the chassis depth, the back rack-mount bracket may not fit. In that case the back rack-mount

bracket is not needed.

• M4 x 0.7 x 8-mm Phillips countersink screws (12)
