Installing the Cisco MDS 9396V Switch
Before you begin
Caution
Tip
Note
Step 1
Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have
received all items, including the following:
• Grounding lug kit
• Rack-mount kit
• Preinstalled LEMs (3 units) with LEM screws tightened
• ESD wrist strap
• Cables and connectors
• Any optional items ordered
Step 2
Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following
information ready:
• Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
• Model and serial number of the damaged unit
• Description of damage
• Effect of damage on the installation
Step 3
Check if all the power supplies and the fan trays have the expected direction of airflow.
Port-side-intake airflow modules have a burgundy coloring, and port-side exhaust airflow modules have blue coloring.
The airflow direction must be the same for all modules.
When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only. An
ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded
through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a grounded rack.
Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.
