  • Page 12: Site Preparations

    Site Selection Install Dell Networking equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

  • Page 13: Rack Mounting

    Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a single Z9100–ON chassis. For proper ventilation, position the Z9100-ON in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents. When you install two Z9100-ON systems near each other, to permit proper airflow, position the two chassis at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart.

  • Page 14: Storing Components

    Storing Components If you do not install your Z9100–ON and components immediately, Dell Networking recommends properly storing the system and all optional components by following these guidelines. • Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40° to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).

  • Page 15: Install The Z9100-On

    Unpack the Z9100-ON System NOTE: Before unpacking the system, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage. When unpacking the Z9100-ON switch, make sure that the following items are included: • One Z9100-ON switch • One RJ-45 to DB-9 female cable •...

  • Page 16: Install Rack Or Cabinet Hardware

    You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E- compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.

    Installing a 1U Front-Rack Configure the rails that are attached to the system. Attach the switch rails (inner chassis members) to the Z9100-ON system. The following illustration, item 3, shows the detail for the front standoff with the locking tab.
  • Page 21 Figure 9. Attaching the Switch Rails After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted ReadyRails and 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 of the rack and falling.

  • Page 22: Attaching The Ground Cable (Optional)

    To attach the ground cable to the chassis, use a single M4x0.7 screw. The cable itself is not included with the Z9100–ON system. To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends using a 6 AWG one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping). The one-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.

    Power Up the System Supply power to the Z9100–ON after it is mounted in a rack or cabinet. Dell Networking recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify the following: • The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded (optional).

  • Page 24: Power Supplies

    NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. Dell Networking recommends using power supply 2 (PSU2) as the blank plate slot. Use a #1 Philips screw driver to install the blank plate.

  • Page 25: Installing An Ac Or Dc Power Supply

    NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, Dell recommends installing the power supply in the first slot (PSU1) and installing a blank plate in the second slot (PSU2).

  • Page 26: Replacing An Ac Or Dc Power Supply

    NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, Dell recommends installing the power supply in the first slot (PSU1) and installing a blank plate in the second slot (PSU2).

  • Page 27: 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. If the airflow directions are mismatched, the Z9100-ON issues an alarm.
