Installing Directors into the EC-1700 Cabinet
Optimizing airflow and
cooling
The MDS directors require an ample supply of cool air. When the
9513 or the 9710 is mounted into a four sided cabinet this becomes
even more important. A raised floor with a tile cut-out under the
front of the cabinet that supplies cool air, while not required, will help
with the cooling capabilities. Additionally, a metal grated tile in the
aisle near the front of the cabinet would help to supply cool air to the
front of the cabinet.
Care should be taken to ensure that any other data center equipment
is not blowing its' hot exhaust air directly at the front intake areas of
the EC-1700-C.
It is recommended that the data center ambient air temperature be 23
C (73.4 F) or cooler.
The EC-1700-C contains four vertical mounting rails with special
cut-outs to maximize airflow for the MDS directors. Only the front
left vertical mounting rail is blocked. Do not block and/or obstruct
any other vertical mounting rail except as necessary for fiber cables
near the front right vertical mounting rail. Follow the instructions in
this manual for cable routing to maximize airflow through the right
front vertical mounting rail.
Cable routing
The fiber cables should be run and secured in the cabinet as neatly as
possible. Cable fingers and a cable tray are provided for this purpose.
The smallest diameter (jacketed) cables and/or trunk cables should
be used when possible. Sloppy cable management with 1000+ fiber
cables is not only an administrative/service nightmare, it can impede
the cool air supply into the MDS chassis.

cabinet.
The EC-1700-C comes preconfigured from the factory with air-baffles,
shelf-brackets, cable fingers, and a cable tray to support the
installation of MDS 9513s or MDS 9509s.
