DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
• The site should:
• Be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
• Maintain temperatures within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 121 °F) and humidity levels within 5% to
95%, non-condensing
• Provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow
• Be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
• Allow twisted-pair cable to always be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures
and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Provide a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within
2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any
equipment, Brocade recommends a filter or surge suppressor.
Equipment checklist
After unpacking the FastIron RPS2-EIF device, check the contents to be sure you have received all
the components. (See “Package contents” on page 18.) Before beginning the installation, be sure
you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Optional rack-mounting equipment
If you plan to rack-mount the RPS device, be sure to have the following equipment available:
• Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack, these are not included
• A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)
Mounting
FastIron RPS devices can be mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack or on a desktop or
shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
Rack mounting
Before mounting the unit in a rack, pay particular attention to the following factors:
• Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient
room temperature, make sure the rack-environment temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range.
• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
• Circuit overloading: Make sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
Follow the steps below to mount devices in a rack.
