Installation Procedure
Requirements
You will need:
Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteris-
tics of a fully populated switch chassis.
Mellanox recommends a rack that is at least 80 cm long.
• #2 phillips screwdriver
• #3 phillips screwdriver
• a grounding lug
• ground wire to properly ground the chassis
The installation will be much easier with a power screwdriver.
It is recommended to use AWG6 or 4mm diameter wire for grounding purposes.
It is recommended to have at least two people for the duration of the installation proce-
dure. Use a mechanical lift to raise this chassis. If not, use enough manpower to ensure
the safety and wellbeing of all of the people involved in the installation.
