Citrix Systems SDX 13500 Installing Transceivers, Rack Precautions, To install the transceiver

Quick Installation and Configuration

wAllow the power supply units and hard drives to cool before touching them.

wInstall the equipment near an electrical outlet for easy access.

wMount equipment in a rack with sufficient airflow for safe operation.

wFor a closed or multiple-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider the lowest and highest operating temperatures of the equipment when making a decision about where to install the appliance in the rack.

Rack Precautions

wMake sure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor, with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

wFor a single-rack installation, attach a stabilizer to the rack.

wFor a multiple-rack installation, couple (attach) the racks together.

wAlways make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

wExtend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously might cause the rack to become unstable.

wThe handles on the left and right of the front panel of the appliance should be used only for extending the appliance out of the rack. Do not use these handles for mounting the appliance on the rack.

Installing Transceivers

The SDX appliances support only fiber transceivers in the 10GE ports.

Warning: Only those transceivers provided by Citrix Systems, Inc. are supported. You must not attempt to install third-party transceivers. Doing so voids the warranty.
