SUMMARY STEPS

1.

Install the brackets to a typical switch.

2.

Install the chassis into the rack.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Install the brackets to a typical switch.

a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:

• If the switch has port-side intake modules (fan modules with burgundy coloring), position the switch so that its

ports will be in the cold aisle.

• If the switch has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules with blue coloring), position the switch so that its fan

and power supply modules will be in the cold aisle.

b) Position the bracket so that four of its screw holes are aligned to the screw holes on the side of the chassis.
