Cisco MDS 9700 Series Installing page 24

Installing the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Switch on a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet
a. Holding the front of the fabric module (the side with the LEDs), turn the module so that the front side is vertical.
Note
b. Align the rear of the fabric module to an open fabric slot and insert the bracket on top of the module into the track
at the top of the slot.
Note
c. Slide the module part way into the slot.
d. Press the ejector button on the front of the module, to release the levers from the front of the module.
e. Rotate the levers away from the front of the module and hold them while sliding the module all the way into the
slot.
f. Simultaneously rotate both levers to the front of the module. They click when locked to the front of the module.
Step 9 If you removed any fan modules before moving the chassis, reinstall each one in the chassis as follows:
a. Holding each of the two handles on the fan module with your two hands, align the fan module to an open fan module
slot.
Note
b. Slide the fan module into the slot until the front of the fan module comes in contact with the rear of the chassis.
Note
c. Screw in the four captive screws to the chassis and tighten each screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 10
If you removed any power supplies before moving the chassis, reinstall each one as follows:
a. Determine which power supply slots to fill and ensure that each of those slots is open.
b. If you are using the combined or power supply redundancy mode, you can use any slot for the power supply that
you are installing.
If you are using input-source or full redundancy mode, you must group the power supplies that are to be connected
to the same grid on either the left or right power supply slots in the chassis (that is, place the power supplies for
grid A in slots 1 or 2 or both slots and place the power supplies for grid B in slots 3 or 4 or both slots).
c. Place one hand on the front of the power supply and place your other hand under it to support its weight.
d. Align the power supply to an open power supply slot.
Note
e. Slide the power supply all the way into the slot until it stops.
f. Slide the handle in the middle of the ejector lever toward the end of the lever and rotate the lever to the front of the
power supply. Release the middle handle.

The top of the module has an alignment bracket running from the rear to the front. The electrical
connectors will be at the bottom.
If there are only three fabric modules to install, install them in fabric slots 1, 3, and 5, and be sure that
there are blank filler plates installed in the open slots.
The two alignment brackets on top of the fan module should align to two tracks at the top of the slot.
The two alignment pins on the fan module (on the top and one on the bottom) should go into holes in
the chassis and the four captive screws on the fan module should align to screw holes in the chassis.
The alignment bracket on top of the power supply should align to a track at the top of the slot and a
bar at the bottom of the power supply should be guided by a track at the bottom of the slot.
