Chapter Figure 2-3 Bend Radius Measurement Diagram • Support cable using a cable manager mounted above connectors to avoid unnecessary weight on the cable bundles. • Bundle cables using velcro straps to avoid damaging cables. • Keep all ports and connectors free of dust. • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables can build up Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) charges when being pulled into a new installation.
Chapter Installation Tasks Checklist To perform the actual switch installation, the site implementation engineer must perform the following tasks, which are detailed in this section. Caution Be sure to review the Safety Information on page 11 before starting the installation and during the installation process. Step 1 Check the installation site to verify the installation of cabinet power feeds, rails, and grounding. Step 2 Unpack the equipment and inspect for any shipping damage.
Chapter Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products Warning Installing system components in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack. Warning After installing system components in a rack never pull more than one component at one time out of the rack on its slide assemblies. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over.
Chapter Warning This unit may have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both cords before servicing the unit. Warning To avoid potential electrical shock, operate this unit only when the cover is in place. Warning To avoid potential electrical shock, use only a grounded (three wire) electrical outlet. Warning Keep objects that might damage this unit and liquids that might spill clear from this unit.
Chapter Check the Installation Site The SFS 7024 switch is designed to be installed in an existing server cabinet (not a telco cabinet), where it can be mounted in a standard equipment rack. Mounting brackets are integrated with the switch. Be sure of the following: • The cabinet has a full earth ground to provide reliable grounding. • There is enough room to work on the equipment. • The equipment will have enough clearance for front and rear access. • The IB cables can be accessed easily.
Chapter Installation Tasks The following is an overview of the installation tasks detailed in this section: Step 1 If applicable, remove the doors of the rack. Step 2 Mark the rack, allowing 14 U (24.50 inches) of vertical space to install the SFS 7024 switch. Step 3 Install the support rails. Step 4 Rack mount the switch. Step 5 If applicable, replace the rack’s doors.
Chapter Note The 2 front holes should match up with the top and bottom holes of the rail front flange. All holes should correspond to the rail mounting positions (i.e., the holes marked with pen or tape). Step 2 Fasten the rail back flange (chassis leaf module side) to the rack by installing two screws into the rail and rack. Step 3 Fasten the rail front flange (chassis fan side) to the rack by installing one screw into the top hole of each rail.
Chapter Step 1 Remove the necessary spine modules, spine module blanks, leaf modules, and leaf module blanks. For detailed instructions, please refer to the section Removing a Module or Blank, page 2-18. Note If the user is only adding additional modules, remove only the blank(s) for the slot(s) to be populated. These will not be replaced.
