Brocade Communications Systems ICX 6430-C Hardware Installation Guide

CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.
DANGER
If the installation requires a dierent power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that denes the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
Preparing the installation site
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment.
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed at the site. For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers and cable lengths and
types, refer to the Brocade website.
Installation location
Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, on a
at surface, on a wall, or on a metal surface.
The site should meet the following requirements:
• Maintain the operating environment as specied in the “Brocade ICX 6430-C Compact Switch Technical Specications”
section.
• Allow a minimum of 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space above the device and between the front and the back of the device and walls or
other obstructions for proper airow.
• Allow at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, ber-optic, and power cabling.
• The site should be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
• Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, uorescent lighting xtures, and other sources of electrical
interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2
m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a lter or surge
suppressor is recommended.
• For a two-post rail mount conguration, order the appropriate mounting kit and refer to the kit documentation.
• When using the magnet mount installation to install the device on a metal surface, the device cannot be installed higher than 1.1
meters.
Rack-mount installation considerations
Before mounting the device in a rack, ensure that the following rack-mount installation requirements are met:
• Temperature: Because the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that
the rack-environment temperature is within the specied operating temperature range. (Refer to the “Brocade ICX 6430-C
Compact Switch Technical Specications” section.)
