2 Installation and safety considerations

NOTE

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 Figure 10).

Electrical considerations

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

•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

2

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.

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:

CAUTION

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.

53-1003084-01

2 Installation tasks

ATTENTION

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 precautions

Follow all precautions when installing a device.

General precautions

CAUTION

All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

Never leave tools inside the device.

CAUTION

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

Lifting precautions

CAUTION

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

Brocade ICX 7750 Hardware Installation Guide	13

2 Installing the device in a rack or cabinet

Power precautions

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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