24 Installation
Site preparation, unpacking the DC Director
IMPORTANT: See ” Regulatory compliance and safety notices ” on page 123 for important safety
guidelines before setting up your DC Director.
The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation:
1. Provide a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 61.29 cm (24.09 in.) deep, and 43.74 cm (17.22 in.).
1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.)
2. Plan to install the DC Director with the non-port side facing the aisle. The DC Director can be installed
facing either direction, if serviceability and cooling requirements are met.
3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis (” Managing cables ” on page 35).
Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either
side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.
4. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
• 200 – 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits)
• 110 - 120 VAC, 50-60 Hz (up to four branch circuits)
• One power cable per power supply is required
• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes
• Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate
• Location close to the chassis and easily accessible
• Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible with the power cords
TIP: To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.
5. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of 2 in. of airspace.
6. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit) during
operation.
CAUTION: A fully populated DC Director (eight FC8-48 port cards, 384 ports) weighs approximately
104 kg (228 lbs) and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.
