DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
DANGER
A completely empty Brocade DCX 8510-8 chassis weighs approximately 37.3 kg (82.2 lb) and
requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.
DANGER
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
1. If the chassis is in a cabinet, remove it from the cabinet.
2. Place the chassis on a lift or on the shipping pallet provided with the original chassis.
3. Unpack the new chassis:
a)
Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
b)
Remove the lid and the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.
c)
Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.
Save the packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.
d)
Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to
the installation location.
NOTE
The Brocade DCX 8510-8 packaging does not incorporate a wood pallet and pallet
brackets. The chassis sits on top of a plastic shipping tray.
4. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area. Doorways
must be wider than 91 cm (36 in.) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.
5. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow the
instructions provided by the rack kit manufacturer.
Installing components into the new chassis
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when installing new components. Wear a wrist
grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the Brocade DCX 8510-8 is plugged in) or a bench
ground.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
1. Replace the WWN bezel (logo plate) and WWN cards (
