Starting with the Rack

1.7.1.1 Rack Recommendation
1.7.1.2 Preparing the Rack
The rack may need to be modified to accommodate the SX6536 chassis. The distance
between the vertical supports must be between 65 and 80cm.
The vertical supports may have to be moved so that the vertical support closest to the
door is a minimum of 6 cm from the inside of the door. This is required so that the shelf
will not hit the door.
1.7.2

ESD Connection

Before starting any procedure on the SX6536 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 648 connector cables Mellanox recommends a rack
that is 120 cm long and 80cm wide. This will allow for proper cable management and
enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.

If you move the vertical supports make sure that you reinstall them vertically
plumb.
