Time and items required
You can set up and install the Brocade DCX-4S in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In a chassis with the DCX-4S Port Side Exhaust Kit (provided) in a Brocade-qualified rack.
• In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using a Brocade DCX-4S Rack Mount Kit
(either a 27-31 in. or 18-24 in. kit depending on rack used).
• In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Brocade DCX-4S Mid-Mount Rack Kit
available from your Brocade DCX supplier (optional).
This chapter describes how to set up the Brocade DCX-4S as a standalone unit. For rack-mount
installation instructions, refer to the appropriate manual as described in the following table.
The following table describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for
each, and the items required to complete the task based on a fully populated Brocade DCX-4S (256
Fibre Channel ports). Configurations with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a
prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
