Warning

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.

During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Voltage is present on the backplane when the system is operating. To reduce risk of an electric shock, keep hands and fingers out of the power supply bays and backplane areas.

Installation Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when installing a Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch:

• Make two people available for lifting the chassis onto the rack.

• Verify that the rack environment provides sufficient ventilation:

–

Maintain ambient airflow throughout the site to ensure normal operation.

–

If installing in an enclosed cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation, and allow at least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of clearance between the chassis vents and cabinet doors.

–

If placing the switch adjacent to a device that exhausts air toward the switch, the horizontal distance between the devices should be a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm).

–

Ensure that cables do not obstruct the airflow through the chassis.

• Ground yourselves using approved ESD grounding wrist straps.

• Read the “Safety Overview” section on page 2, and observe the following cautions:

Caution Do not lift the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis by the front (power-fan module end) and back

(cable end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.

Installing the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch Components

78-18335-01

According to your specific order, Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch components are pre-installed in your Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis before shipping, including the InfiniBand switch card, Ethernet and Fibre Channel gateway modules, and power-fan modules. You can, if required for your configuration, add or replace these components before mounting the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis or add additional components at a later date.

Note Whenever possible, we recommend that you install any additional components before you mount the

Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch in the rack or on the optional shelf.

Installing the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch

You can install the switch in the rack with the power-fan modules flush to the front of the rack or with the data connection cables mounted flush to the front.

This section contains the following topics:

• Installing with the Power-fan Modules Flush-front, page 6

• Installing with the Data Connection Cables Flush-front, page 8

Note Install the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack using the rail kit that is included with the chassis or

on the optional shelf that is ordered and shipped separately (product number SFS-7008P-RKIT=).

Installing with the Power-fan Modules Flush-front

To install the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack so that the power-fan module end is flush mounted to the front rack posts, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Open the bag that contains the mounting hardware.

Note To mount a Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack, use eight screws and eight rack nuts. These

screws and nuts must be supplied by the customer, based upon compatibility with the rack.

Step 2 Attach the two rack ear brackets to the power-fan module end of the chassis using a Phillips screwdriver and

the six M4 x 8 mm flat-head screws provided (three on each side), as shown in Figure 1. Firmly tighten the screws on the rack ear brackets to secure them to the chassis.

Step 3 Slide the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch between the rack posts (see Figure 2), until the rack ear brackets

on the front of the chassis make contact with the front rack posts.

Use four customer-supplied fasteners (two for each side) and the appropriate screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit) to firmly secure the rack ear brackets to the front rack posts.

Note The handle on the AC power-fan module and/or the blanking panel can be used as an aid to

support the power-fan module side of the chassis during rack-mounting installation.

Slide the two adjustable brackets, from the back, between each of the guide rails that are attached on either side of the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch at the data connection end. (See Figure 2.)

Step 5 Adjust the adjustable brackets so that the holes in the brackets align with the holes in the rack posts, and

secure the brackets to the rack posts. (See Figure 2.)

Use four standard rack screws (two for each bracket; rack screws not included in the accessory kit) to secure the adjustable brackets to the rear rack posts.

Note The least amount of protrusion for the adjustable brackets must be 1/2 inch beyond the inside end of the

guide rail. The adjustable bracket should always be fully supported by the guide rails.

Installing with the Data Connection Cables Flush-front

To install the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack so that the data connection cables are flush-front on the rack posts, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Open the bag that contains the mounting hardware.

Note To mount a Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack, use eight screws and eight rack nuts. These

must be supplied by the customer, based upon the compatibility of the screws and nuts with the specific racks.

Step 2 Remove the two guide rails that are attached to either side of the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch at the

data-connection end, and attach the guide rails similarly at the power-fan modules end. (See Figure 3.)

Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the guide rails, and secure them at the new locations with the screws that you just removed.
