Installing the 14U rack mount kit

This procedure provides instructions for unpacking a Brocade DCX 12000, 24000, and 48000 enterprise-class
platforms and installing them in a 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet using the 14U Rack Mount Kit. Up to three chassis
can be installed in a 42U EIA cabinet. The kit is compatible with both round-hole and square-hole rails.
NOTE
The figures in this document illustrate the Brocade 12000 but also are applicable to the Brocade DCX Backbone and
24000, 48000 platforms. Where applicable, additional illustrations are provided for individual products. Also, the
rack mount shelf brackets used with a particular enterprise-class platform may appear differently that the illustrations
in this document.
Installation Considerations and Safety Guidelines

CAUTION
A fully populated chassis for an enterprise-class platform can weigh up to approximately 250 lbs (113 kg)
and requires a minimum of two people and a hydraulic or assisted lift to install. Before installing, verify
that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the weight limits of the cabinet or unbalance
the cabinet, including when some of the cards or power supplies are partially extended from the chassis.
CAUTION
To allow the quick removal of all power from the chassis, use AC power sources that are easily accessible
and located near the chassis.
ATTENTION
To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the air intake (nonport) facing the cool-air aisle.
To ensure correct installation and operation:

3 of 20
Ensure that the space in the 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet is 14U high, with a minimum distance of 28.25 in.
(71.76 cm) and a maximum distance of 29.88 in. (75.90 cm) between the front and back rails.
Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the weight limits of the cabinet.
Plan for cable management before installing the chassis. 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 using patch panels.
Ensure that one or two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
- 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz (refer to the corresponding hardware reference manual for additional electrical
specifications)
Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes
Grounded outlets are installed by a licensed electrician and compatible with the power cords
Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, according to the electrical rating on the chassis
nameplate
Located close to the enterprise-class platform chassis and easily accessible.
ATTENTION
To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.
Ensure that all equipment installed in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do
not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
Ensure that the enterprise-class platform fans have access to a total minimum airflow of 350 cubic ft (9.91
cubic meters) per minute. Do not block intake vents - allow for 14 in (35.66 cm) clearance.
Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 104o Fahrenheit (40o Celsius) during
operation.
Time required
Allow approximately one hour to unpack and install a chassis in a cabinet. This does not include the time it takes to
configure software such as setting the IP address.
Items required
The following items are required when installing the 14U Rack Mount Kit:
Torque wrench with #2 Phillips screwdriver tip

Flathead screwdriver
Hydraulic or assisted lift with a minimum raise of 55 in. (140 cm) and a minimum capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg).
NOTE
To configure the enterprise-class platform, refer to the Quick Start Guide or Hardware Reference Manual shipped with
the platform.

CAUTION
A fully populated enterprise-class platform chassis can weigh up to 250 lbs (113 kg) and requires a
minimum of two people to safely lift/slide it from one surface to another.
Receiving a enterprise-class platform

Remove the shipping cover from its pallet or skid while it is still in the shipping area, to reduce clutter at the
installation site.
To prepare a 14U enterprise-class platform:
1. Remove the straps securing the cover to the pallet or skid, then lift the cover off the chassis.
Leave the foam on top of the chassis to hold the kits in place during transportation to the installation area.
CAUTION
For models other than the Brocade DCX, do not move the chassis off its pallet or skid until the door is
removed. Refer to Removing and Installing the Chassis Door (Models Except Brocade DCX) on page 14.
Note that door is not installed on the Brocade DCX when shipped (packaged separately) and must be
attached after enterprise-class platform is installed in rack.
2. Transport the chassis on the pallet or skid to the installation area, using a pallet jack or other assisted lift.
Doorways must be at least 36 in. (91 cm) wide so the pallet on a pallet jack can fit through it.
3. Remove the 14U Rack Mount Kit, Accessory Kit, packing foam, and antistatic plastic from the chassis (Figure 2
on page 9).
NOTE
The following figure shows the chassis bolted to the shipping pallet with brackets. The Brocade DCX ships on a plastic
