Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power precautions.”
DANGER
Be careful not to accidently insert your ngers into the fan tray while removing it from the chassis. The fan may still be
spinning at a high speed.
CAUTION
Changes or modications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certications. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
CAUTION
Make sure the airow around the front, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
Ensure that the airow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies and fan
trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."
CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
CAUTION
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.

CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot ller panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).
ESD precautions
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in
their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
NOTE
Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to the chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or to a bench ground.
Power precautions
DANGER
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to
connect it to the power source.
DANGER
If the installation requires a dierent power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that denes the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
DANGER
This device might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power cords before
servicing.
DANGER
Remove both power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
DANGER
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.

DANGER
Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery
is replace by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components with batteries according to local ordinance and regulations.
CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
CAUTION
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the
possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the
device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the input power connectors.
CAUTION
The power supply switch must be in the o position when you insert the power supply into the chassis. Damage to the
switch can result if a live power supply is installed.
CAUTION
Carefully follow the mechanical guides on each side of the power supply slot and make sure the power supply is properly
inserted in the guides. Never insert the power supply upside down.
NOTE
Device control processors and management modules may contain batteries for RTC or NVRAM backup. Dispose of
components containing batteries as required by local ordinances and regulations.
Lifting and weight-related precautions
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.
DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
CAUTION
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module, which can fall
and be damaged.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power supply handles.
These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.

Laser precautions
DANGER
All ber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualied by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class
1 radiation performance requirements dened in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical
products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
Facility requirements
Before installing the device, be sure the following facilities requirements are met.
TABLE 4 Facility requirements
Type Requirements
Electrical • Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specied by the electrical rating on the switch
nameplate
• Circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes
Refer to the Technical Specications at the end of this guide for complete power supply specications.
Thermal • A minimum airow of 79.8 cubic meters/hour (47 cubic ft/min.) available in the immediate vicinity of
the switch
NOTE
Although this airow may exceed the airow maximum listed in the device Technical
Specications, the additional airow is recommended to pressurize the inlet (cool isle) side
of rack installations relative to the exhaust side to minimize recirculation of hot air back to
the inlet side.
• Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating
Rack (when rack-mounted) • One rack unit (1U) in a 48.3 cm (19-inch) rack
• All equipment in the rack grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection
• Additional weight of switch not to exceed the rack’s weight limits
• Rack secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement
