Use the following steps to unpack, transport, and install the device.
1. Unpack and install the Brocade DCX.
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 packaging does not incorporate a wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits on top of a
plastic shipping tray.
2. 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.
3. Remove the 14U Rack Mount Kit, accessory kit, packing foam, and antistatic plastic from the chassis and set aside.
4. Install the rack mount kit in the rack using appropriate instructions in this Hardware Installation Guide.
5. Remove the chassis door from the Brocade DCX.
6. Remove the cable management comb.
7. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. Follow the instructions provided by the rack kit manufacturer.
8. If applicable, lock the wheels of the lift.
9. Gently slide the chassis onto the final installation surface, ensuring that it remains supported during the transfer.
10. Ensure that the chassis is oriented so that the nonport side has access to intake air (cool).
11. Reinstall the cable management comb.
12. If ICL cables will not be used, ensure that the ICL sockets in the core switch blades have EMI plugs inserted.
13. Reinstall the chassis door.
