Starting with the Rack

Rack Recommendation
1.7.1.1 Preparing the Rack
The rack may need to be modified to accommodate the SX6518 chassis. The distance
between the vertical supports must be between 65 and 80cm.
This edge of the shelf must be as
close as possible to the inside of
the door when closed.
1.7.2

ESD Connection

Before starting any procedure on the SX6518 switch system:
1. Put an ESD prevention wrist strap on your wrist, and make sure there is good contact
between your body and the strap.
2. Plug the other end of the wrist strap to a valid ground. Make sure that this is a tight
fit.
Mellanox Technologies
Due to the space required by up to 324 connector cables Mellanox recommends a rack
that is 100 cm long and 80cm wide. This will allow for proper cable management and
enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.
