All fan and power supply modules must have the same direction of airflow. Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems For connecting the Cisco MDS 9132T switch AC power supplies to the site power source, follow these basic guidelines: • Each power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.
Avoid UPS types that use ferro-resonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems Caution such as the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns. • Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes.
Supplies Fan Modules sections. Installing the Switch This section describes how to use the rack-mount kit to install the Cisco MDS 9132T switch into a cabinet or rack that meets the requirements described in the Cabinet and Rack Requirements section.

We recommend disconnecting cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver. Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9132T switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded Note with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for the switch.
Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination, and it should be kept below 0.35 dB. Follow these maintenance guidelines: • SFP transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that is connected to the chassis. Cisco MDS 9132T Fibre Channel Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
Do not operate the switch without a functioning fan module except briefly during the fan module replacement Note procedure. Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches can operate for only a few minutes without any functioning fan modules before they begin to overheat.
