1Installation

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, sp

ines, and management modules come

shipped in a separate package.

The chassis requires initial configuration

to get the chassis and Fabric management up

and running through remote management. See the Installation Guide that is packed in the

box for the instructions to make the initial configuration.

1.1 Installation Safety Warnings

1.3 Chassis Package Contents

The package includes:

• 1 chassis with the following modules inst

alled:

•4 fans

• 6 PSUs

• 1 installation guide

•

1 box containing various other parts

• 1 installation kit box

• 1 box containing 6 power cords 250v 15a 2.0M, C14 to C13, USA UL Standard

• 1 cable management kit

Before you install your new SX6518 series chass

is, unpack the system and check to

make sure that all the parts have been sent, check this against the parts list. Check the

parts for visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.

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.

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.

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

1.4 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.

1.5 Spine Package Contents

The spines are shipped 3 to a box. The customer will receive as many boxes as needed to

fill the chassis with a full complement of spines.

1.6 Management Package Contents

The package includes:

• all of the management modules ordered by the customer

•

1 RJ45 to DB9 harness for each management module received

1.7 Physical Installation

The switch platform uses 18U of rack space in a standard 19” rack, 16U for the chassis

and 2U for the shelf. The switch ships from the factory with mounting holes on the spine

side. There are upper brackets to connect the leaf side to the rack near the top of the chas-

sis, and there are two lock-down bars to secure the

chassis to the shelf. The weight of the

switch is supported from underneath the unit by the shelf.

This chassis can be installed in standard 19” racks tha

t have between 65cm and 80cm

between the vertical supports of the rack. Make sure that a fully populated rack including

cables will have sufficient air flow for cooling.

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.

Insert the bottom spine board first.

Warning: This equipment is very heavy. Safety is the first concern. Make sure that

adequate manpower and proper equipment is used for transporting and moving the

chassis.

The fully loaded chassis weighs:

212.36 kg (468 LBS) full configuration

90 kg (199 LBS) empty configuration

112 kg (247 LBS) shipped configuration

Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteris-

tics of a fully populated switch chassis.

1.7.1 Starting with the Rack

Rack Recommendation

1.7.1.1 Preparing the Rack

The rack may need to be modified to accommodate

the SX6518 chassis. The distance

between the vertical supports must be between 65 and 80cm.

Figure 1: Distance Between the Vertical Supports

1.7.2 ESD Connection

Before starting any procedure on the SX6518 switch system:

1. Put an ESD prevention wrist strap on your wrist, and

make sure there is good contact

between your body and the strap.

2. Plug the other end of the wrist strap to a valid

ground. Make sure that this is a tight

fit.

Due to the space required by up to 324 connector cables Mellanox recommends a rack

that is 100 cm long and 80cm wide. This will allow for proper cable management and

enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.

This edge of the shelf must be as

close as possible to the inside of

the door when closed.

Vertical Supports

Between 65 and 80 cm.

1.7.3 Installation Procedure

1.7.3.1 Requirements

You will need:

1.7.3.2 Installation and Cable Management Kit Parts

• Parts included in the installation kit:

Installing the chassis will be a lot easier if you can remove the sides of the rack.

You will need a fork lift, to move and insert the chassis into the rack.

• #2 phillips screwdriver • #3 phillips screwdriver

• a fork lift • a grounding lug

• measuring tape • ground wire of sufficient length and gauge to properly ground the

cha

ssis

The installation will be much easier with a power screwdriver.

It is recommended to use AWG6 or 4mm diameter wire for grounding purposes.

It is recommended to have at least two people for the duration of the installation proce-

dure. Use a mechanical lift to raise this chassis. If not, use enough manpower to ensure

the safety and wellbeing of all of the people involved in the installation.
