    Installing the Cisco MDS 9220i Switch Grounding the Switch Grounding the Switch The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you install the switch properly in a grounded rack with metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack. Alternatively, you can ground the chassis (this is required if the rack is not grounded) by attaching a customer-supplied grounding cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.

    If the power supply blank module does not move out of place, it is secured in the slot. If the power supply blank module moves, carefully press it all the way into the slot until it clicks in place. Installing and Removing Fan Modules This section provides instructions for installing and removing the fan modules for the Cisco MDS 9220i switch. Caution If you are changing the airflow direction of all the modules in the chassis, you must shut down the switch before replacing all the fan and power supply modules with modules using the other airflow direction.
  • Page 19 Caution Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches have internal temperature sensors that can shut down the system if the temperature within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To accurately monitor the system temperature, the temperature sensors require sufficient airflow through the chassis. In the event that a fan module is removed from the chassis and the airflow is reduced, the system will bypass the temperature sensor information and shut down after five minutes to prevent undetected overheating.
