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.
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)
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:

Installation procedures
Installing the 14U rack mount kit includes:
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
tray and is not secured with brackets.

NOTE
On models other than the Brocade DCX, notched ends are installed on the side of rack on exhaust air aisle. The
notches are for cable management on the enterprise-class platform.
To attach the shelf brackets:
1. Locate the shelf brackets in the 14U Rack Mount Kit.
2. Locate and loosen the adjusting screws on the brackets (Items A and B; see Figure 3 on page 10 for location) to
allow for adjustment to cabinet depth.

ATTENTION
Standard EIA rails have holes in sets of three; spaces between the holes are 5/8 in., 5/8 in., and 1/2 in.
(1.58 cm, 1.58 cm, 1.27 cm). If cables are to be routed down through the cable management tray, allow space below
the brackets for cable management. Cables can also be routed through the holes in the sides of the chassis.
5. Tighten the adjusting screws on the rack mount shelf brackets to a torque of 32 in.-lbs (37 cm-kgs).
6. Attach the clip or retainer nuts to the vertical rails on the exhaust aisle side of the cabinet. These clip nuts are
used for securing the cable side of the chassis to the rack rails using 10-32 x 5/8-inch screws. For models
except the Brocade DCX place two clips on each rail. For the Brocade DCX, use three clips on each rail. Place the
clips in optimum locations for securing the chassis to the rails.
11 of 20
ATTENTION
When inserting screws into the chassis, use the exact screws specified in the procedure. Using longer screws might
damage the chassis.

Removing and Installing the Chassis Door (Models Except Brocade DCX)
Use the following steps to remove and install the chassis door from the chassis.
Removing Door
Remove the chassis door from the chassis before installing in the cabinet:
1. Open the door to an angle of approximately 90 degrees.
2. Support the door to prevent it from falling; then, push the spring-loaded pin on the upper hinge up and into the
notch in the hinge (see Figure 7).
Installing Door
Reinstall the door after the chassis is in place in the cabinet (see Figure 7).
1. Ensure the spring-loaded pins on both door hinges are retracted (push pins into notches).
2. Align the door hinges with the chassis portion of the hinges.
3. Release the pins by pushing the pins out of the notches.
For power-on and configuration instructions, refer to the corresponding hardware reference manual.

5. Pull the door away from the chassis.
14 of 20
Installing Door
1. Align eight ball studs on chassis with mounting hardware locations on chassis door while pushing door straight
into chassis. Snap door into place over ball studs. Refer to Figure 8 (following) and Figure 9 on page 16.

Removing Door
Gripping with your hands on each side of the door, gently pull the door straight out from chassis until it snaps out of
ball studs on chassis. Refer to Figure 8 on page 15 and Figure 9.
CAUTION
A fully populated enterprise-class platform chassis can weigh up to approximately 250 lbs (113 kg) and
requires a minimum of two people to safely slide it from one surface to another. Stabilize the lift and the
cabinet to prevent movement during the transfer.
Install the chassis in the cabinet using the following steps.
NOTE
Steps 4, 5, and 8 do not apply to the Brocade DCX. This model ships on a plastic tray and is not secured to the shipping
pallet with brackets. The Brocade DCX also does not use upper rack mount brackets.
1. Position the lift immediately adjacent to the pallet.
2. Stabilize both the pallet and the lift to prevent them from moving during the transfer.
3. Adjust the height of the lift and the pallet so that the bottom of the chassis is level with the surface of the lift.
4. Unscrew the bolts holding the four brackets to the pallet (see Figure 10 on page 17).
