About VIPRION platform installation
This chapter includes some general information about installing the
VIPRION
®
chassis. However, for details about installing the VIPRION
chassis, refer to the Setting Up the VIPRION
™
Platform guide, which
includes detailed information, including:
• Unpacking the chassis
• Installing the chassis in a rack
• Adding blades to the chassis
• Licensing the platform
We highly recommend that you install the VIPRION platform chassis into a
rack before you install any blades. This ensures that the weight of the unit
remains manageable as you install the unit into a rack.
At least two people are required to install the VIPRION platform into a
rack.
General recommendations for installing a chassis in a rack
Although not required, a 1U space between chassis makes it easier for you
to remove the chassis from the rack in the event that the unit requires
service. A 1U space between units also provides additional cable routing
options.
We recommend 100 mm spacing from the front panel of the unit to the rack
front or rack door. This provides enough room for you to route the cables
without bending them excessively.
This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). We recommend
that when you install or maintain the unit, you use proper ESD grounding
procedures and equipment.
Do not power on a VIPRION platform until the management serial console
and/or the management network is connected to the unit.
