Installing the
Brocade SilkWorm 3200,
3250, and 3850 Switches
1. Install the 3200, 3250, or 3850 switch in the rack by performing the following
steps.
a. Position the switch next to the rack as shown in
FIGURE 1-2
, and insert the inner
slide rails into the outer slide rails.
b. Slide the switch into the rack.
Note – A screwdriver might be needed to depress the slide lock on the side of the
slide rail when inserting or removing the switch from the rack.
c. Check the alignment by sliding the switch in and out of the rack.
If there is any difficulty, pull the switch out of the rack and realign the slide rails.
2. Attach the rackmount brackets to the vertical rack rails using one Phillips 10-32 x
3/8-inch screw per bracket, tightening the screws to a torque of 25 inch-pounds
(28.8 cm-kgs). See
FIGURE 1-2
.
3. (Optional) Provide power to the 3200, 3250, or 3850 switch by performing the
following steps.
a. Place the power cord clips on the outer slide rails. See
FIGURE 1-2
.
The clips can be positioned with the tabs above or below the rail.
Note – The 3200 and 3250 switches have only one power cord.
b. Insert each power cord into a power cord clip with a minimum service loop of
six inches at the switch to ensure freedom to plug and unplug the power cord.
Caution –
Do not plug a power cord into the power source or into the switch power
supply until the switch is completely installed in the rack.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed so that they will not be exposed to stress
when the switch is moved on the slide rails.
c. Connect the power cords to the 3200, 3250, or 3850 switch and to a power outlet.
