Starting with the Rack

Rack Recommendation
1.6.1.1 Preparing the Rack
The rack may need to be modified to accommodate the IS5300 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.
1.6.2

ESD Connection

Before starting any procedure on the IS5300 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.
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.
Mellanox recommends that you remove both sides of the rack to make the installation
easier.
You will need a fork lift, to move and insert the chassis into the rack.
