CAUTION
To insure adequate bonding when attaching the provided Panduit LCD6-10AF two-hole ground
lug, a minimum of 20 PSI of torque is required to be applied to the mounting hardware used to
attach the ground lug. Use a star washer to ensure an NEBS compliant connection.
Device installation
You can install Brocade systems on a desktop, or in an equipment rack.
Installing the device on a desktop
Follow the steps for desktop installation.
1. Set the device on a flat desktop, table, or shelf. Make sure that adequate ventilation is
provided for the system – a 3-inch clearance is recommended on each side.
2. Go to “System power” on page 36.
Installing the device in a rack
For rack mount installation, Brocade recommends that you use the rack mount ears attached to
the unit. Each unit ships with rack ears attached to the front of the unit. You can mount the rack
ears in 4 different locations on the device.
NOTE
While attaching the chassis to the rack, star washers shall be used to provide better grounding of
the chassis to the rack. Additionally if any single hole grounding lugs are used star washers shall be
used as a means to prevent rotation of the lug.
Forward rack mount position
The NetIron CES and NetIron CER 2000 devices ship with the rack ears attached to the front of the
device as shown below.
