Core Switch 2/64 V4.1 Installation Guide
A fully populated Core Switch 2/64 weighs approximately 250
WARNING:
lbs and requires a minimum of two people and a hydraulic or assisted lift to
install it.
Before installing, verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not
exceed the rack's weight limits or unbalance the rack, including when some of
the cards or power supplies are partially extended out of the chassis.
Check that a minimum distance of 28.25 inches is between the front and back
rails.
Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the rack's
weight limits.
Check that all equipment installed in the rack is grounded through a reliable
branch circuit connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
Verify that space is in the rack. The Core Switch 2/64 is 14U, or 24.11 inches
high.
Verify that the rack is stable.
M5 Tinnermans (0590-2318) and M5 Torx screws (0515-0671) are required
pieces of rack mount kit hardware.
Verify that all other equipment installed in the rack is connected to a reliable
ground connection; do not rely on connections to a branch circuit, such as a
power strip.
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 rack.
Verify that the Core Switch 2/64 access to a minimum airflow of 350 cubic
feet per minute.
Ensure adequate cooling by installing the chassis with the port side facing the
aisle into which exhaust air is released (usually called the "service aisle").
This prevents the fans from pulling in heated exhaust air.
