Interconnect bay crosslinks
Interconnect bay crosslinks are wired between adjacent interconnect
bay pairs.
You can enable these signals to provide module-to-module
connections, such as Ethernet crosslink ports between matching
switches, or Virtual Connect modules as stacking links. Onboard
Administrator with KVM disables the interconnect bay crosslinks
when they cannot be used, such as when two different modules
reside in adjacent horizontal interconnect bays.

documentation that ships with the interconnect module.
1.
Install the interconnect modules based on the number ordered
and the number of fabrics in the configuration.
The enclosure ships with interconnect bay dividers installed.
The interconnect bay dividers must be removed before
installing double-wide interconnect modules. To remove an
Interconnect bay label
interconnect bay divider, press the release tab, and pull the
interconnect bay divider out of the enclosure.
2.
Install interconnect blanks in any unused interconnect bays.
3.
Connect each installed interconnect module to the external
connections with the appropriate cable.
Powering up the enclosure
Single-phase power configuration
For a single phase power configuration:
1.
Connect the AC power cables to the power connectors on the
rear of the enclosure corresponding to the power supply that
was populated on the front of the enclosure.
2.
Be sure each power cable is securely attached to the power
connectors.
3.
Connect the AC power cables to the AC power source or to an
installed power distribution unit (PDU).
4.
Turn on the AC circuit breakers that power the power cables
installed in the enclosure.
5.
Locate the power retention bracket that came with the
enclosure.
6.
Verify that the power cord retention tabs are on the correct
side.
o
On the left side: To install the power cord retention bracket
on the left side of the enclosure, ensure the power cord
retention tabs are located to the right of the snap clamps.
