Dell EMC Connectrix EC-1700 Cabinet Installation and Setup Manual
Installing Directors into the EC-1700 Cabinet
Installing MDS 9506 products
Installing/moving MDS 9506 products is not a one person operation.
Have at least two people or a mechanical lift. If no mechanical lift is
available, it may be necessary to depopulate the 9506 chassis to make
it easier to handle. Follow all proper handling procedures per the
Cisco installation instructions.
As shown in
and
, the MDS
9506 products can be installed with MDS 9513 or 9509 directors. The
9513 or 9509 will be in the lower position in the cabinet and the 9506s
will be installed in the upper positions.
Follow the steps as if installing a second 9513 or 9509 in the top half in
the cabinet as shown in
“Installing second (upper) MDS director” on
for removal of the upper 14u baffle.
IMPORTANT
When installing MDS products in the upper location in the
EC-1700-C, remove the upper 14 U air baffle from the left side
vertical NEMA mounting rails before installing the MDS products.
Failure to remove the upper 14 U air baffle when installing MDS
products in the upper location in the EC-1700-C cabinet will cause
the upper MDS products to overheat and eventually fail and/or
shutdown.
You cannot use the upper shelf brackets with the MDS 9506 because
they will interfere with the front mounting flanges on the 9506
chassis. Therefore, remove the upper shelf brackets.
Instead, you will need the MDS-92CAB-KIT, (DS-SHELF). Refer to
the following Cisco URL for details on this kit.

IMPORTANT
When using the Cisco instructions, follow the instructions for a
four post rack installation. Install the 2U Cisco shelf bracket per the
instructions on the Cisco website for a four post rack installation.
