Rev 1.0

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 openings 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 41.

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.
