Site Preparations

The Z9000 is suitable for installation as part of a Common Bond Network (CBN). It can be installed in:
network telecommunication facilities
data centers
other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies
This chapter contains the following sections:
Site Selection
Cabinet Placement
Rack Mounting
Grounding
Fans and Airflow
Power
Storing Components
For more information about Z9000 specifications, refer to
NOTE: Install the Z9000 chassis into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Specifications
.

Site Selection

Dell Force10 equipment is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one in which access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock, key, or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Ensure that the area where you install your Z9000 meets the following safety requirements:
Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by your local electrical codes.
Environmental temperature between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
Relative humidity that does not exceed 85% non-condensing.
In a dry , clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight.
Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
Positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the Z9000 for proper ventilation and access.
Site Preparations | 15

Cabinet Placement

Only install the Z9000 in an indoor cabinet designed for use in a controlled environment (as described in Site Selection
The cabinet must meet the following criteria:
Minimum cabinet size and airflow according to the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.
Minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
). Do not install the Z9000 in an outside plant cabinet.

Rack Mounting

When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
grounded to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.

Grounding

Use the Z9000 in a Common Bond Network (CBN). You must connect the grounding cables as described
Install the Z9000
in
.

Fans and Airflow

The Z9000 system fans support two air flow options. Be sure to order the fans suitable to support your
site’ s ventilation. Use a single type of fan in your system. Do not mix reverse and normal fans in a single Z9000 system.
Normal—airflow is from the I/O panel to the power supply. The grab-handle is labeled Exhaust.
Reverse—airflow is from the power supply to the I/O panel. The grab-handle is labeled Intake.
For proper ventilation, position the Z9000 in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents. When two Z9000 systems are installed near each other, position the two chassis at least five inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. The acceptable ambient temperature ranges are listed in
The fan speed increases and decreases automatically based on the system’s state and temperature. The
switch never intentionally turns off the fans. Use the show logging command to see the log messages. For more information, refer to the System Logs
chapters of the FTOS Command Line Refer ence Guide for the Z9000 System and the FTOS Configuration Guide for the Z9000 System.
Environmental Parameters
.

Power

Use the appropriate power cord with the Z9000 system to connect the system to the applicable power source. An AC power cord is included with the system.
When installing an AC system, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
where applicable.
16 | Site Preparations
The system is powered-up as soon as the power cord is connected between the system and the power
source.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before the power supply slots are serviced. CAUTION: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is

Storing Components

If you do not install your system and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends properly storing the Z9000 and all optional components until you are ready to install them.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the Z9000 and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the Z9000 and its components on an antistatic surface.
Follow these storage guidelines:
Storage temperature must remain constant ranging from -4° to 158° F (-20°C to 70° C).
Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
Store in a dust-free environment.
