Installation Options
You can install the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect chassis in a perforated or solid-walled EIA cabinet or an
open EIA rack (the Cisco R Series Rack is an ideal choice), using the rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis.
For instructions on installing the chassis using the rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis, see
Installing the
Cisco UCS Chassis or UCS Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack, on page 23
.
Airflow Considerations
The FI's cooling fans pull air front-to-rear. That is, air intake is on the fan side and air exhaust is on the port
side.
To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:
• Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.
• Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air conditioning requirements. When
evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment at the bottom
of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.
• Ensure that exhaust airflow is unobstructed.
Chassis Weight
When lifting the system, follow these guidelines:
• Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the system.
• Have two people to lift the system. The Cisco UCS 6332 weighs 22 pounds (9.9 kg). The Cisco UCS
6332 16-UP weighs 22.61 pounds (10.2 kg). The Cisco UCS 6454 weighs 25.9 pounds (11.7 kg)
• Ensure that your footing is solid and that the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your
feet.
