Time and items required for installation

You can set up and install the Brocade DCX 8510-4 in the following ways:

•As a standalone unit on a flat surface.

•In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using a Brocade DCX 8510-4, DCX-4S Rack Mount Kit

(either a 27-31 in. or 18-34 in. kit depending on rack used).

•In a chassis with the Port Side Exhaust Kit (provided) in a Brocade-qualified rack.

•In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Mid-Mount Rack Kit available from your Brocade DCX

8510-4 supplier.

This chapter describes how to set up the Brocade DCX 8510-4 as a standalone unit. For rack-mount installation

instructions, refer to the appropriate manual as described in the following table.

The following table describes the main installation and setup tasks, the estimated time required for each, and the

items required to complete the task based on a fully populated Brocade DCX 8510-4 (192 Fibre Channel ports using

the FC16-48 port blades). Configurations with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a

prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation.

1. Provide a space that is 9 rack units (9U) high, 61.19 cm (24.09 in.) deep, and 43.74 cm (17.22 in.) wide. 1U is

equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.). If you do not use the provided port side exhaust kit, the space needs to be only 8

rack units (8U) high.

Plan to install the Brocade DCX 8510-4 with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. The Brocade DCX

8510-4 can be installed facing either direction, if serviceability and cooling requirements are met.

2. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:

NOTE

See “Power specifications” in the “Specifications” appendix for specific requirements depending on your

chassis configuration.

•200 – 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits) - recommended for high availability and maximum blade

usage

•Two cables for 200 - 240 VAC service

•Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes

•Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate

•Location close to the chassis and easily accessible

•Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician and compatible with the power cords

ATTENTION

To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.

3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis.

Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the

chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.

4. Ensure that the following is available for configuration of the Brocade DCX 8510-4:

•Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal

•Serial cable (provided)

•Three Ethernet cables (including one spare)

•Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration or collecting supportsave output data

(optional)

•A Brocade USB stick for collecting supportsave output data (optional)

•Transceivers (copper and optical) and compatible cables

NOTE

For information about the transceivers that are qualified for the Brocade DCX 8510-4, go to

http://www.brocade.com/products/interop_and_compatibility.jsp.

5. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of two (2) inches of airspace.

6. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit)

during operation.
