    Repeat this procedure for the second rail. To remove each rail, pull on the latch release button on each flange ear and unseat each rail. Two-post flush-mount configuration CAUTION: Your system is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use this installation method. For this configuration, remove the latch castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly, item 1.

  • Page 24 Figure 13. Switch rail attachment After you install both rails, line them up on the ReadyRails. Slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. About three inches before you fully insert your system, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out and falling.

  • Page 25: Ground Cable

    Two threaded holes using one of the two included M4 screws. In both configurations, the ground cable is not included. To properly ground the chassis, Dell recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M3 or M4 hole size. The system hole lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.

  • Page 26: Port Connectivity

    Dell recommends you distribute port groups across all four port pipes. The Z9100-ON switch has four port pipes, also known as packet processing pipelines. For the best buffer resource usage, distribute the functional port groups, such as downlinks, uplinks, interchassis links, LAGs, and ECMP, across all four port pipes—0, 1, 2, and 3. If that is not possible, distribute the port groups across port pipes 0 and 2 or port pipes 1 and 3.

    PSU without disrupting traffic. CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the Z9100-ON is grounded properly. If you do not ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions may result. Use a qualified electrician to ensure that the power cables meet your local electrical requirements.

    Repeat steps 1 through 4 above using the second PSU slot. NOTE: The Z9100-ON powers up when you connect the cables between the power supply and the power source. Connecting a DC Power Supply to the Power Source Each DC powered system comes with a set containing a prewired (3-inch 8 AWG) power supply connector and a four-screw wiring block.

    NOTE: If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see Dell Support. Disconnect the power cable from the PSU. Use the grab handle to slide the PSU out of the power supply bay.

  • Page 31: Fans

    In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately. The Z9100-ON supports two airflow direction options. Do not mix airflow types in a chassis; you can use only a single airflow direction in a chassis.

  • Page 32: Fan Module Installation

    Fan modules Fan module installation The fan modules in the Z9100–ON are field replaceable. Module slot 1 is on the left side of the chassis; module slot 5 is on the right side of the chassis. CAUTION: DO NOT mix airflow directions. All reverse or normal fans must use the same airflow direction. If you mix the airflow direction, the switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage to the components.
