This guide provides instructions for unpacking, installing, and setting up a Brocade DCX-4S Backbone as a

standalone unit quickly. Note the following additional documentation:

•For detailed installation and configuration instructions, refer to the Brocade DCX-4S Backbone Hardware

Reference Manual.

•For rack-specific installation instructions, refer to the appropriate rack mount or mid-mount installation

procedures.

The Brocade DCX-4S can be installed in the following ways:

•As a standalone unit on a flat surface.

•In a chassis with the DCX-4S Port Side Exhaust Kit (provided) in a Brocade-qualified rack.

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

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

•In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the Brocade DCX-4S Mid-Mount Rack Kit available from

your Brocade DCX supplier (optional).

The basic configuration steps required to set up the Brocade DCX-4S Backbone are listed in this guide. Additional

configuration information is provided in the Brocade DCX-4S Backbone Hardware Reference Manual and the Fabric

Time and items required for installation

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

instructions, refer to the appropriate manual as described in Table 1.

Table 1 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for each, based on a fully

populated Brocade DCX-4S (192 Fibre Channel ports). 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.

The Brocade DCX-4S can be installed facing either direction in a cabinet, if serviceability and cooling

requirements are met.

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

•200 – 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits)

•Two cables for the 200 - 240 VAC service

•Power supply standards are met

•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.
