Introduction

This document provides instructions to install a DCX-4S Backbone in a 19 in. EIA equipment cabinet with a rail-to-rail depth of 27-31 in.(68.58 to 78.74 cm).

Safety

Observe the caution notice in this manual. The caution notice has an ID, which is displayed in parentheses (C015). Use this ID to locate the translation of this caution notice in the Brocade Product Safety Notices.

Use safe lifting practices when moving the product. (C015)

A fully populated PowerConnect B-DCX-4S weighs 103.50 kg (228.20 lb) with four FC8-48 port cards installed (192 ports) and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.

Installation guidelines

To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the air intake (nonport side) facing the cool-air aisle.

Follow these general installation guidelines:

• Provide a space that is 8 rack units (8U) high, 61.19 cm (24.09 in.) deep, and 43.74 cm (17.22 in.) wide. 1U is

equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.).

• To allow the quick removal of all power from the chassis, use AC power sources that are easily accessible and

located near the chassis.

• Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the weight limits of the cabinet.

• Plan for cable management before installing the chassis. Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as

by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or using patch panels. Refer to the product’s Hardware Reference Manual for specific information.
