For a 27-inch rack (a standard Sun/Oracle rack), you need a separate mounting bracket for

the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4. Additionally, the to-chassis mounting hardware for the
Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is metric, the to-chassis mounting hardware for the Oracle
Fabric Interconnect F1-15 is English. The to-rack mounting hardware is rack dependent.
In a 27-inch Sun/Oracle rack, you will need to measure where the Oracle Fabric
Caution -
Interconnect will go, as well as the CMA, and make sure that all the cage nuts for each are
installed before you install the Oracle Fabric Interconnect. If you install the Oracle Fabric
Interconnect, and then attempt to install the CMA's cage nuts, you will not have enough space
to install the cage nuts for the CMA.
Cable management is supported through a standard Oracle cable management assembly
■
(CMA). This part is not mandatory, but it is recommended as part of the installation.
If used, the CMA must be installed after the Fabric Interconnect is successfully rack
mounted. For information about installing the CMA, see

The power cords have their own cable management system which allows them to be tied to
■
plastic anchors that sit on each front mounting bracket. There are some considerations about
how power cords must be tied. See
Make sure to install the Fabric Interconnect without the I/O modules in the chassis. By
■
installing the chassis without the I/O modules, the Fabric Interconnect is lighter and easier
to install.
While installing the Fabric Interconnect, you will attach the rear of the chassis to
■
the equipment rack before you attach the front end. Make sure to support the Fabric
Interconnect and keep it level while until both ends are attached to the equipment rack.
If the system is not kept level while one end is attached and the other is not, you can put
unnecessary stress on the mounting hardware that is already attached to the rack.
Install the Fabric Interconnect F1-4
When the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is shipped from the factory, it contains all hardware except
I/O modules. I/O module blanks are shipped in a separate box, and should be installed only
after the unit is installed in the equipment rack. By installing the I/O Modules after the Fabric
Interconnect is rack mounted, the Fabric Interconnect is lighter and easier to lift into position in
the rack.
The installation procedure has the following main phases, which are documented in this section:
