Installing the Hardware

This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the chassis.

Installing the Chassis

To install the C7004/C150 and the C7008/C300 chassis, Dell Networking recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented below.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions apply to both the

C7004/C150 and C7008/C300 chassis.

Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs).

CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or

heel ground strap when handling the chassis and its components. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this system. ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled.

Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack

WARNING: Use an equipment lift or pallet jack when lifting or moving the

chassis. Install the chassis into the rack before inserting chassis components. Lift the chassis only from the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power supply openings might damage the chassis.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in

a rack, take special precautions to en sure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• Mount this unit at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a pa rtially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Installing the Hardware 5

Follow these steps to install the chassis into a 19-inch equipment rack:

Step Task

1 Determine the chassis mounting location in the equipment rack. 2 Orient the bar with the arrows pointing upward. The smooth side of the

bar should face outward.

3 Attach the bar to the equipment rack brackets using the mounting screws

provided by the rack manufacturer.

4 Use an equipment lift to align the chassis rack-mount holes with the

equipment rack holes, and situate the chassis on top of the equipment rack bar.

6 Installing the Hardware

Step Task

5 Insert screws (provided with your rack) through the chassis rack-

mounting bracket and into the equipment rack, and tighten them. Rack Mounting the C7004/C150 Chassis

Installing Power Modules

CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply

1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may be lost.

If there is a failure in the power supply, you must replace it. Power supplies are not field serviceable.

The C7004/C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The C7008/C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The slots accept either the 1200W or 1600W AC power supply units (PSUs).

AC Power Supplies

•

There are two types of power supplies: P ower S upply 1 200W-AC and Power Supply 1600W -AC. The minim um and red undant power su pplies required to operate are listed in the table below. Dell Networking recommends the redundancy configuration.

• The following table lists the PSU requirements for Dell Networking OS version 8.4.5.0 or prior . 1600 W-AC PSU is recognized by version 8.4.5.0 or later.
