Time and items required for the installation
You can set up and install the Brocade device in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface
• In a 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack, using the four-post rack mount kit
• In a two-post telecommunications (Telco) rack
This section describes standalone installtion procedures only. For rack mount installation instructions,
refer to the manual that comes with the separately ordered rack kit.
The following table describes the installation tasks, the estimated time required for each, and the items
required to complete the task based on a fully populated chassis (384 10 GbE ports). Configurations
with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and
appropriate power and network connectivity.
