Installing the Hardware

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

chassis.

Installing the Z9000 Chassis in a Rack or

Cabinet

To install the Z9000 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the

installation procedures in the order presented below.

Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the

Z9000 chassis or its field replaceable units.

For proper ventilation, position the Z9000 chassis 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 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. The acceptable

ambient temperature ranges are listed in the Environmental Parameters section.

CAUTION: Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when

handling the Z9000 and its components. As with all electrical devices of this

type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing

this system. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components

are mishandled.

The Z9000 is shipped with mounting brackets (rack ears) and required screws

for rack or cabinet installation. The brackets are enclosed in a package with the

chassis.
