1 Installation
This chassis can be installed in standard 19" racks that have depths between 65cm and
80cm between the vertical supports of the rack.
Installation and initialization of the chassis is a simple process requiring attention to the normal
mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. Your chassis comes
only with the power supplies and fans pre-installed. The rest of the openings are populated with
blanks. All of the leafs, spines, and management modules come shipped in a separate package.
The chassis requires initial configuration to get the chassis and Fabric management up and run-
ning through remote management. See the Installation Guide that is packed in the box for the
instructions to make the initial configuration.
This unit is intended for installation in a Restricted Access Location. A restricted
access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or
other means of security.
