Note
Installation Options
You can install the Cisco UCS 6200 Series 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 (UCS-ACC-6248UP=), for instructions on installing the chassis using the rack-mount kit
shipped with the chassis, see Installing the Cisco UCS 6248 UP Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack, on page 25.
Airflow Considerations
Airflow through the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect is from front to back. Air enters the chassis
through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis through
perforations on the rear of the chassis. 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.
• Be sure to allow unobstructed exhaust airflow.
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 6248 UP weighs 35 pounds (15.9 kg). The Cisco
UCS 6296 weighs 35 pounds (15.88 kg). The Cisco UCS 6296 UP weighs 50 pounds (22.68 kg).
• Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your feet.
• Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the
knees, not at the waist.
