1 Chassis Installation

Installation and initialization of the chassis is a simple process requiring attention to the

normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. Your

chassis comes only with the power supplies and fans pre-installed. The rest of the open-

ings are populated with blanks. All of the leafs, spines, and management modules come

shipped in separate packages.

The chassis requires initial configuration to get the chassis and Fabric management up and

running through remote management. see “Configuring the Switch Management Modules

for the First Time” on page 35.

1.1 Environmental and Safety Recommendations

The following are Mellanox recommendations.

This chassis can be installed in standard 19” racks that have depths between 65cm

(25.6in.) and 80cm (31.5in.) between the vertical supports of the rack.

This unit is intended for installation in a Restricted Access Location. A restricted

access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or

other means of security.

Recommended ambient temperature in the System room is 20o± 5oC.

Recommended humidity ranges is 40% ± 15% without condensing.

It is highly recommended that the installation sites be as isolated as possible from all

sources of radio transmissions and electrical interference.

It is highly recommended that the installation site building be equipped with a light-

ning rod.

It is highly recommended that the installation site be equipped with smoke detectors

and a fire alarm warning system.

1.2 Chassis Package Contents

The chassis package includes:

• 1 chassis with the following modules installed:

4 fans

4 PSUs

If you are not using a mechanical lift to install the chassis,reduce the weight of the chassis by

removing all of the power supply units, and fan units, and put aside for reinstallation after the chas-

sis is installed in the rack.

• 1 installation kit

• 1 box containing 4 power cords 250v 15a 2.0M, C14 to C13, USA UL Standard

• 1 cable management kit

• 1 Installation Guide

Before you install your new SX6512 chassis, unpack the system and check to make sure that all

the parts have been sent, check this against the parts list see “Installation and Cable Management

Kit Parts” on page 12. Check the container for visible damages that may have occurred during

shipping.

1.3 Leaf Package Contents

The leafs are ordered by the customer and are shipped 4 to a box. The customer will receive as

many boxes as needed to fill the order.

The system requires a KVA rated UPS system. It is recommended that a UPS system

be installed to protect the equipment in the event of unexpected power failure.

Make sure that the outlets and circuits will not be overloaded. Spread out the load over

at least two or three circuits or use a 3 phase circuit. N+N grid redundancy requires 2

independent power supply sources.

If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative immediately.

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Guaran-

tee proper ventilation, by leaving 8cm (3”) of space to the front and rear of the switch.

This will ensure proper air flow through the chassis. This is crucial for maintaining

good airflow at ambient temperature. In particular, route cables such that they do not

impede the air into or out of the chassis.
