  • Page 11: Mounting Options

     Prior to the installation procedure, inspect all rail-kit components and make sure none of them is missing or damaged. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your NVIDIA representative at Networking-support@nvidia.com. The following parts are included in the tool-less rail kit (see figure below): •...
  • Page 12 Prerequisites: Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options. While planning how to place the system, review the two installation options shown in the table below, and consider the following points: •...
  • Page 13  The following steps include illustrations that show front side (ports) installation, yet all instructions apply to all installation options. Attach the left and right system rails (A) to the switch.

    If the Fan Status LED is not green, unplug the power connection and check that the fan module is inserted properly and that the mating connector of the fan unit is free of any dirt and/or obstacles. If no obstacles were found and the problem persists, call your NVIDIA representative for assistance.
  • Page 23: System Bring-Up

    For a list of the FRU replacements, see “Accessory and Replacement Parts”. Power Supplies NVIDIA systems that are equipped with two replaceable power supply units work in a redundant configuration. Either unit may be extracted without bringing down the system.
  • Page 24: Fans

     Make sure that the power supply unit that you are NOT replacing is showing green for the power supply unit LED without powering down the system.  Power supply units have directional air flows similar to the fan module. The fan module airflow must coincide with the airflow of all of the power supply units (there are different power supply Part Numbers to indicate the different airflow types).
  • Page 25  In case the system is operated at 35°C ambient temperature at full capacity with all ports occupied, and one of the system fans becomes faulty, it is recommended to replace the fan as soon as possible to avoid the risk of having no fan redundancy. To remove a fan unit: ...
