Installing the Switch Chassis

Step 1

Install two front-mount brackets to the switch as follows:

a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:

• If the switch has port-side intake modules (fan modules with burgundy coloring), position the switch so that its

ports will be in the cold aisle.

• If the switch has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules with blue coloring), position the switch so that its fan

and power supply modules will be in the cold aisle.

b) Position a front-mount bracket so that four of its screw holes are aligned to the screw holes on the side of the chassis.

Note

You can align any four of the holes in the front rack-mount bracket to four of the six screw holes on the

side of the chassis (see the two ways to mount these brackets on a typical chassis, in following figure). The

holes that you use depend on the requirements of your rack and the amount of clearance required for interface

cables (3 inches [7.6 mm] minimum) and module handles (1 inch [2.5 mm] minimum).
