Switch and PSU Placement for Custom S6 Configurations
These diagrams show switch and PSU placement for example systems that are six or more chassis in width. Install and secure units
as shown for your frame size, then proceed to “Installing and Connecting Cabling” on page 44.
6-Chassis Systems
Figure 4 shows an example six-chassis system such as an M40-40-5 that requires a single 24-port Ethernet switch.
Figure 5 shows a different example six-chassis system such as an M40-40-9-D. This configuration uses two Ethernet switches.
7-Chassis Systems
Figure 6 shows an example seven-chassis system such as an M40-48-9-D. This configuration uses one 16- and one 24-port switch.
9-Chassis Systems
Figure 7 shows an example nine-chassis system such as an M40-64-9. This configuration uses one 16- and one 24-port switch.
Figure 8 shows another nine-chassis system such as an M40-64-9-D. This configuration uses two 24-port switches.
If your system includes a Producer’s Desk option, see the Producer’s Desk Guide for switch, PSU, and cabling instructions.
