TABLE 5 NEBS thermal policy levels (continued)
Level Description Temperature RPM
2 MED-LOW from 25C through 35C 4000 RPM

CAUTION
For the NEBS-compliant installation of a Brocade device with AC or DC systems, use a ground wire of at least 2 AWG. The
ground wire should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other
end attached to building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected to both
ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug, ensure that the bare copper
wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare wire. In addition, anti-rotation devices or lock washers must be
used with all screw connections for the grounding wire.
Time and items required for the installation
You can set up and install the Brocade device in the following ways:
∙
As a standalone unit on a flat surface
∙
In a 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack, using the four-post rack mount kit
∙
In a two-post telecommunications (Telco) rack
The following table describes the installation tasks, the estimated time required for each, and the items required to complete the task
based on a fully populated chassis (384 10 GbE ports). Configurations with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a
prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
