Installing the Switch on the Shelf Brackets

This section provides general instructions for installing the Cisco MDS 9509 Director on top of the shelf brackets. For detailed installation instructions, see “Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6.

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Statement 1017

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

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

To install the Cisco MDS 9509 Director 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, and the rack is stabilized.

Step 2 Slide the Cisco MDS 9509 Director onto the shelf brackets, ensuring it is squarely positioned.

Step 3 Attach the Cisco MDS 9509 Director to the rack-mounting rails. Slide the clip nuts over the holes on the nonthreaded rails on the cabinet or rack. These clip nuts provide the threading for the screws that will secure the chassis to the cabinet or rack. Use the 10-32 x 1/2 inch screws provided in this shelf bracket kit to secure the chassis to the cabinet or rack. See “Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6.

Caution We recommend grounding the chassis, although the rack is already grounded. There is a grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes on the chassis for attaching a grounding lug.
