Installation Kit Parts - Mellanox Technologies Switch-IB User Manual

The switch platform uses 29U of rack space, 28U for the chassis and 1U for the shelf. The switch
ships from the factory with mounting holes on the spine side. There are upper brackets to connect
the leaf side to the rack near the top of the chassis, and there are two lock-down bars to secure the
chassis to the shelf. The weight of the switch is supported from underneath the unit by the shelf.
Due to the space required by up to 648 connector cables, it is recommended to use a
rack that is 120cm long and 80cm wide. This should allow for proper cable manage-
ment and enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.
Before starting any procedure on the switch system:
1. Put an ESD prevention wrist strap on your wrist, and make sure there is good contact between
your body and the strap.
2. Plug the other end of the wrist strap to a valid ground. Make sure that this is a tight fit.
You may need a mechanical lift to move and insert the chassis into the rack.
It is recommended to use an AWG6 or 4mm diameter wire for grounding purposes.
