Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis Place the wide flange of the mounting bracket against the chassis side panel. Align the mounting bracket installation holes with the screw holes in the chassis. Use the provided M4 × 8 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.
Figure1-8 Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the device (power supply-side mounting position for the mounting brackets) NOTE: Use the same procedure to attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the two sides of the chassis. Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis CAUTION: If you use a grounding point to ground the device, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the device in the rack.
Figure1-9 Connecting the grounding cable to the primary grounding point To connect the grounding cable to auxiliary grounding point 2, use the grounding screw to attach the grounding lug of the grounding cable to the grounding hole at auxiliary grounding point 2.
Figure1-11 Installing the slide rails Mounting the device in the rack This task requires two people. To mount the device in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the device chassis.
Page 23
IMPORTANT: Make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the chassis rails for a maximum of 30 mm (1.18 in). Another person uses user-supplied M6 screws to attach the mounting brackets to the rack. Figure1-12 Mounting the device in the rack (port-side mounting position for the mounting brackets)
Figure1-13 Mounting the device in the rack (power supply-side mounting position for the mounting brackets) Grounding the device CAUTION: • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. • Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.
Figure1-14 Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip (1) Hex nut (2) Ring terminal (3) Grounding post (4) Grounding strip NOTE: The grounding terminals in this figure are for illustration only. Grounding the device through the rack If the device is installed in a rack, you can connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding point on the rack.
Figure1-15 Grounding the device through the rack Grounding the device with a grounding conductor buried in the earth If earth is available at the installation site, you can ground the device with a grounding conductor buried in the earth. Hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth to serve as a grounding conductor.
Figure1-16 Grounding the device by burying the grounding conductor into the earth Installing/removing fan trays CAUTION: The device has two fan tray slots. To ensure good ventilation of the device, follow these guidelines to install and remove fan trays: • The device is provided with the fan tray slots empty. Before powering on the device, make sure all fan tray slots have fan trays installed and the fan trays are the same model.
Figure1-17 Installing a fan tray in the device Removing a fan tray WARNING! • Ensure electricity safety and never touch the rotating fans when you hot-swap a fan tray. • To prevent a fan from causing loud noise, do not touch the fan blades and rotation axis, even if the fan is not rotating.
Installing/removing power supplies WARNING! • To avoid bodily injury and device damage, strictly follow the procedures in Figure1-19 Figure1-20 to install and remove a power supply. • Provide a separate circuit breaker for each power supply. Figure1-19 Installation procedure Install the power Connect the power Turn on the circuit supply...
Correctly orient the power supply with the words on the power supply upward. Grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot. The slot is foolproof.
Figure1-23 Removing the power supply Figure1-24 Installing a filler panel Connecting the power cords WARNING! Provide a circuit breaker for each power input. When you connect a power cord, make sure the circuit breaker is switched off. Connecting an AC power cord Insert the female connector of the AC power cord supplied with the power supply into the power receptacle on the power supply.
Figure1-25 Connecting an AC power cord to a power supply (1) Releasable cable tie (2) Tighten the releasable cable tie to secure the power cord to the handle of the power supply Connecting a DC power cord Align the power cord plug with the power receptacle on the power supply, and insert the plug into the receptacle (see Figure1-26).
Installing and removing expansion modules CAUTION: When you install or remove an expansion module, follow these guidelines: • Never touch the components on the expansion module. • Do not use excessive force. • The expansion modules are hot swappable. Do not install or remove an expansion module during startup of the device.
Figure1-28 Expansion module (1) Latch (2) Ejector lever Insert the module slowly into the slot along the guide rails, as shown by callout 1 in Figure1-29. Press down and hold the latch of the ejector lever to rotate the ejector lever to its original place, and then release the grip on the latch to lock the ejector lever in place, as shown by callout 2 in Figure1-29.
Figure1-30 Removing an expansion module (Optional) Installing network port lightning protectors IMPORTANT: • Before installing a network port lightning protector, read the instructions in the document that comes with the protector. • Network port lightning protectors are available only for 100M/1000M RJ-45 Ethernet copper ports.
Figure1-31 Installing a lightning protector for a network port (Optional) Installing a surge protected power strip IMPORTANT: Before installing a surge protected power strip, read the instructions in the document that comes with the strip. If you use an AC power line routed from outdoors for the device, use a surge protected power strip for the device to protect against damages caused by lightning strikes.
Accessing the device for the first time Connecting the device to a configuration terminal You can connect the device to a configuration terminal by using the serial console port. CAUTION: Follow these guidelines when you connect a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable: •...
