Statement 1030

Note Before you install, operate, or service the system, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family for important safety information.

To install the switch on top of the shelf brackets, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that the shelf brackets are level and securely attached to the rack-mounting rails, the crossbar is securely attached to the shelf brackets, and the rack is stabilized.

Step 2 Slide the switch onto the shelf brackets, ensuring that it is squarely positioned.

Step 3 Attach the switch to the rack-mounting rails. See the “Installing the Switch in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-5.

Caution We recommend grounding the chassis, even if the rack is already grounded. A grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes is provided on the chassis for attaching a grounding lug.

Note The grounding lug must be NRTL listed and compatible with copper conductors. Only copper conductors (wires) must be used and the copper conductor must comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) for ampacity.
