7. If applicable, lock the wheels of the lift.
8. Gently slide the chassis onto the final installation surface, ensuring that it remains supported during the
transfer.
9. Ensure the chassis can be oriented so that the nonport side has access to intake air (cool).
10. Reinstall the vertical cable management fingers.
11. If ICL cables are not being used, ensure that EMI plugs are inserted in the ICL cable sockets in the core switch
blades.
12. Reinstall the chassis door. The door must be installed to meet EMI compliance.
Providing power to the Brocade DCX-4S
DANGER
Use the supplied power cords. Ensure the facility power receptacle is the correct type, supplies the
required voltage, and is properly grounded. (D004)
1. Connect the two AC power cords to each of the two power supplies.
2. Connect the power cords to a power source with a voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz.
3. Turn the AC power switches on the power supplies to ON. The AC power switches light green when switched on
and power is supplied.
4. The Brocade DCX-4S performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately
ten minutes and is complete when the indicator light activity displays the operational state.
You can bypass POST by using the fastBoot command. You can also disable POST for successive reboots on the
Brocade DCX-4S using the diagDisablePost command.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured.
Managing cables
ATTENTION
The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load.
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using cable channels on the port or nonport
sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. With the horizontal orientation of the blades in
the DCX-4S, a pair of vertical cable management finger assemblies (
) have been provided to keep the cables
from hanging down in front of other blades.
Following is a list of recommendations:
•
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the
Brocade DCX-4S, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being
bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
