Caution -
two people will be required to install the Fabric Interconnect F1-4. This installation assumes
two people for installing the Fabric Interconnect F1-4.
To install the Fabric Interconnect, follow this procedure:
1. Select the location in the rack where the Fabric Interconnect will be installed.
2. Measure the depth of the rack (if not already known). You will use the rack depth
you measure to determine where to install the rack-depth measures on the
Fabric Interconnect.
Mark the exterior face of each of the rack posts at the locations where the Fabric
3.
Interconnect will be installed. These marks are where the Fabric Interconnect F1-
4's mounting brackets will be installed. The marks must be on the exterior faces
of the rack posts.
Verify that all four marks (two on the exterior of the front rack posts, and two on
4.
the exterior of the rear rack posts) are level.
Get eight mounting screws for the Fabric Interconnect's mounting brackets,
5.
which are the M3.5 Phillips countersink screws.
6. If you are using an untapped rack, for example a Sun/oracle rack, insert all the
required M6 cage nuts now if you have not already done so.
Later in this procedure, you will use the M6 screws to secure the chassis to the rack.
Align the rack-depth measures for the appropriate rack depth with the screw
7.
holes at the I/O-module end of the chassis (the rear). The rack-depth measures
show the mounting points for different rack depths, and since you measured the
rack depth in
depth measures.
When the side panel screw holes are aligned with the screw holes in the Fabric
8.
Interconnect chassis, attach the rack-depth measures (4 screws per side panel)
to the Fabric Interconnect.
