Time and items required for installation
You can set up and install the Brocade DCX 8510-4 in the following ways:
•
As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
•
In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using a Brocade DCX 8510-4, DCX-4S Rack Mount Kit
(either a 27-31 in. or 18-34 in. kit depending on rack used).
•
In a chassis with the Port Side Exhaust Kit (provided) in a Brocade-qualified rack.
•
In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Mid-Mount Rack Kit available from your Brocade DCX
8510-4 supplier.
This chapter describes how to set up the Brocade DCX 8510-4 as a standalone unit. For rack-mount installation
instructions, refer to the appropriate manual as described in the following table.
The following table describes the main installation and setup tasks, the estimated time required for each, and the
items required to complete the task based on a fully populated Brocade DCX 8510-4 (192 Fibre Channel ports using
the FC16-48 port blades). Configurations with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a
prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
