DXS-3600 Series 10GbE Layer 2/3 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

12

If you are installing a DC-powered switch, you must ground the chassis before connecting the switch to the DC power 
source, following the following instructions:

• Use a minimum of 18 AWG stranded copper wire for grounding. The wire should be long enough to reach from the 

installed switch to the facility ground point.

• Torque screwdriver with a 1/4-inch flat blade.
• Ground additional hardware appropriately to the earth ground connection at your site.

Installing Fan Modules into the Fan Module Ports 

Located on the rear panel of this switch there are three fan module ports. 

Figure 2-9 Installing a Fan Module

The user can easily remove and insert fan modules into these ports. 

NOTE:

 The Power Modules all support a specific air-flow direction. This air-flow direction must be the 

same

 as the Fan Module installed. 

By default

 the air-flow direction of the Power Module and Fan 

Module installed is 

front-to-back

.
