Time and items required

You can set up and install the Brocade DCX 8510-8 in the following ways:

• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In a 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using the 14U Rack Mount Kit (provided).
• In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Mid-Mount Rack Kit available from your

Brocade DCX 8510-8 supplier.

This chapter describes how to set up the Brocade DCX 8510-8 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 8510-8 (512
Fibre Channel ports using the FC16-64 port blades). Configurations with fewer ports require less time.
These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power and network
connectivity.
