Preparing for the Installation

Installation and safety considerations

Read the following sections before preparing to install the device.
DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Broadcom and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products
that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
•
Caution and Danger
•
Managing cables and plan for cable management.
•
Refer to the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone Technical Specification, power supply specifications section, and plan for
meeting the power supply standards based on your device configuration.
Follow these steps to ensure correct installation and operation.
1. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
•
200 - 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, two branch circuits are recommended for high availability and maximum blade usage
when configured with 192 or more 16-Gbps ports.
•
Two cables for 200 - 240 VAC service
•
Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes
•
Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate
•
Location close to the chassis and easily accessible
•
Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician and compatible with the power cords
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits
fails.
2. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis.
Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the
chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.
3. Ensure that the following is available for configuration of the device:
•
Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal
•
Serial cable (provided)
•
Three Ethernet cables (including one spare)
•
Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration or collecting
•
A Brocade USB stick for collecting
•
Transceivers (copper and optical) and compatible cables
4. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents on the device will have a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in.) of airspace when the
device is installed.
5. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side of the device will be less than 40°C (104°F) during operation
when the device is installed.
