Installation and safety considerations

NOTE

2

The HA cables and HA cable holder kit should be stored in a safe place for future use when the
stacking feature is available.

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the Brocade ICX 7750 in the following ways:

• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.

• In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional 4-post universal rack mount kit

can be order from your switch retailer to support up to a 30" deep rack. The 4-post rack mount
kit includes mid-mount and rear-mount brackets.

• In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush-mount rack kit. The 2-post rack mount ears are included

with the switch and support various mounting positions (refer to

Electrical considerations

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure compliance with the following requirements:

Figure 10).

• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in

accordance with local electrical codes.

• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating

on the switch nameplate.

• The power supply standards are met.

Environmental considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:

• Because the Brocade ICX 7750 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or

back to front, be sure to orient your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the
rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust
air.

• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your

environment. Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct
configuration.

• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F) while the Brocade ICX 7750-26Q

or Brocade ICX 7750-48F switch is operating, or 40°C (104°F) while the Brocade ICX
7750-48C switch is operating.

Location considerations

Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface.

Installation and safety considerations

CAUTION

The site should meet the following requirements:

• Maintain the operating environment as specified in “Environmental considerations” on

page 10.

• The ICX 7750 should be installed with its top/bottom covers parallel to the floor. The ICX 7750

should not be installed upside down.

• Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or

other obstructions for proper airflow.

• Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic,

and power cabling.

• Allow access for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.

• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.

• Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures,

and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.

• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to

240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.

2

Cabinet considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet
requirements are met:

• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.

• The equipment in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and

maintains ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such
as a power strip.

• Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is

installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.

• The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance

the cabinet in any way.

• The cabinet is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an

earthquake.

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the
sides of the cabinet or patch panels to reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following
list provides some recommendations for cable management:

Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by
touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.

Installation tasks

ATTENTION

2

You should not use tie wraps with fiber-optic cables because they are easily overtightened and can
damage the optical fibers. Velcro-like wraps are recommended.

• Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.

• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and

replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

• For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.

• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

Installation tasks

Follow the steps listed in Table 3 to install your device. Details for each of these steps are provided
on the pages indicated.

1 Ensure that the physical environment that will host the device

has the proper cabling and ventilation.

2 If customizing a Brocade ICX 7750 baseline chassis:

1 Install at least one power supply unit.
2 Install at least three fans.
3 Install an expansion module.

3 Install the device in an equipment rack. “Installing the device in a rack or

4 Plug the device into a nearby power source that adheres to the

regulatory requirements outlined in this manual.

5 Attach a terminal or PC to the device. This will enable you to

configure the device through the command line interface (CLI).

6 Assign a password for additional access security. No default

password is assigned to the CLI.

7 Before attaching equipment to the device, you must configure

an interface IP address to the subnet on which the device will
be located. Initial IP address configuration is performed using
the CLI with a direct serial connection.

8 Connect network equipment to the system.

9 Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging them and

tracing routes.

10 Continue configuring the device using the CLI. Brocade ICX 7750 Administration

Installation precautions

Follow all precautions when installing a device.

General precautions

All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed 50°C (122°F).

2

Make sure the airflow around the front and sides of the device is not restricted.

Never leave tools inside the device.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Lifting precautions

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.

Power precautions

Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of
the circuits fails.

To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.

Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit fo the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.

Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by
touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the device.

Installing the device in a rack or cabinet

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
