    Installing the Z9000 Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet To install the Z9000 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the Z9000 chassis or its field replaceable units.
  • Page 8 Use a single M4x0.7 screw for attaching a ground cable to the chassis. The cable itself is not included. Dell Force10 recommends a 6AWG one-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping) to properly ground the chassis. The one-hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug.

  • Page 9: Install The Qsfp+ Optics

    Take the (1) M4x0.7 screw from the package. Cut cable to desired length. Cable length must facilitate the proper operation of fault interrupt circuits. Dell Force10 recommends using the shortest cable route allowable. Attach the one-hole lug to the chassis as shown, using the supplied screw with captive internal tooth lock washer.
