ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the Z9264F-ON switch and components. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to prevent injury when installing this switch.
GND lug with bracket, which is packaged separately. The AC switch does not include the UL-certified GND lug. If any parts are missing, contact your Dell EMC sales representative. The ground cable is not included. To properly ground the switch, Dell EMC recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M4 hole size. The grounding lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.
Four-post rack assembly Due to the chassis weight, the Z9264F-ON switch does not support a two-post rack installation; you must install the switch in a four-post rack. To install in a four-post rack, follow the instructions in your rack frame kit. In a four-post rack, the maximum distance between the front and back vertical posts is 36 inches (91.44 cm);...
Rack-mounted switch for shipment Before you install the Z9264F-ON switch in a rack that you intend to ship, you must first remove the tool-less feature from each end of both Dell EMC rack rails. CAUTION: Use two people, an equipment lift, or pallet jack when lifting or moving the chassis. Install the chassis into the rack before inserting the chassis components.

NOTE: For more instructions, see the installation instruction labels on the rail. Attach the inner switch rails to the Z9264F-ON switch. Line up the rail with the mounting heads and attach the rail to the switch. Slide the rail back until it locks into place.
To remove the switch from the rack or cabinet, press in the two side-release bars on the switch simultaneously and slide the switch forward. Optics installation The Z9264F-ON switch has QSFP28 and SFP+ optical ports. For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at www.dell.com/support or contact your Dell EMC Sales representative.
When the switch starts up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the switch continues to boot up. Switch replacement The following steps describe removing and replacing a switch. For further assistance when replacing a switch, contact your Dell EMC support representative.
For more information, see Switch power-up. After switch placement After you have securely installed and powered on the Z9264F-ON switch: • If you are using Dell EMC software, see switch documentation at www.dell.com/support. • If you need ONIE information, see ONIE documentation at www.onie.org.
