Pre-Installation
•In a perforated or solid-walled EIA cabinet, using:
– The rack-mount kit shipped with the switch
– The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit (an optional kit, purchased separately) in addition to the
rack-mount kit shipped with the switch
•In a two-post Telco rack, using:
– The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit (an optional kit, purchased separately) in addition to the
front brackets shipped with the switch
For instructions on installing the switch using the rack-mount kit shipped with the switch, see the
“Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-5.
For instructions on installing the switch using the optional, separately purchased Telco and EIA Shelf
Bracket Kit, see the “Cisco MDS 9000 Family Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket” section on page A-4.
Note The optional Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit is not provided with the switch. To order the kit, contact
your switch provider.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch:
•Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Appendix E, “Site
Planning and Maintenance Records,” lists the recommended site planning tasks.
•Record the information listed in Appendix E, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records,” as you
install and configure the switch.
•Ensure there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for adequate
airflow (Appendix C, “Technical Specifications,” lists airflow requirements).
•Ensure the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix C,
“Technical Specifications.”
•Ensure the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix A, “Cabinet and Rack
Installation.”
Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on
page C-8.
•Ensure the chassis is adequately grounded. If the switch is not mounted in a grounded rack, we
recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an
earth ground.
•Ensure the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix C, “Technical
Specifications.” If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against
power failures.
Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable
with systems like the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, which can have substantial current draw
fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch
Pre-Installation
•Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the 845-W
power supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.
If you are using a 200- or 240-VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected
by a two-pole circuit breaker.
Caution To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the
switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.
•Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:
– Captive screws: 4 in-lb
– M3 screws: 4 in-lb
– M4 screws: 12 in-lb
– 10-32 screws: 20 in-lb
– 12-24 screws: 30 in-lb
Required Equipment
Gather the following items before beginning the installation:
•Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers with torque capability
•3/16-in. flat-blade screwdriver
•Tape measure and level
•ESD wrist strap or other grounding device
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:
•Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation
requirements; the required length depends on the proximity of the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch to proper
grounding facilities
•Crimping tool large enough to accommodate girth of lug
•Wire-stripping tool
Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
Caution When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only.
An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be
grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a grounded
rack.
Tip Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.

Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased
support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL:

Note The switch is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or
any items are missing, contact your customer representative immediately.
To inspect the shipment, follow these steps:
Step 1 Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify
that you have received all items, including the following:
•Print documentation and CD-ROMs
•Grounding lug kit
•Rack-mount kit
•ESD wrist strap
•Cables and connectors
•Any optional items ordered
Step 2 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have
the following information ready:
•Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
•Model and serial number of the damaged unit
•Description of damage
•Effect of damage on the installation
Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
This section describes how to use the rack-mount kit provided with the switch to install the Cisco MDS
9216 Switch into a cabinet or rack that meets the requirements described in Appendix A, “Cabinet and
Rack Installation.” All Cisco MDS 9216 Switch switches use the same installation procedure.
Caution If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
The rack-mount kit provided with the switch contains the items listed in Table 2-1. If you do not find all
the parts listed in Table 2-1, you may have an older version of the rack-mount kit, which only included
the front rack-mount brackets. If this is the case, you can either install the switch in the rack with just
the front rack-mount brackets, or contact your customer service representative for a current version of
the rack-mount kit.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch
Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
To install the switch in a cabinet or rack using the rack-mount kit provided with the switch, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Install the front rack-mount brackets as follows:
a. Position a front rack-mount bracket against the chassis and align the screw holes as shown in
Figure 2-1. Then attach the front rack-mount bracket to the chassis with six of the M4 screws.
b. Repeat with the other front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
Figure 2-1 Attaching Front Rack-Mount Bracket to the Cisco MDS 9216 Switch
Step 2 Install the C brackets on the switch as follows:
a. Position one of the C brackets against the side of the switch and align the screw holes as shown in
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3. Then attach the bracket to the switch with two of the flat-head M4
screws.
Note Ensure the C bracket is oriented so that it blocks the fewest airflow holes on the chassis; the holes
should be slightly closer to the bottom of the brackets and the text on the back of the bracket
should be right side up.

Step 3 Position the chassis in the rack, inserting the rear of the chassis between the front mounting rails (see
Figure 2-4). Use the 12-24 x 3/4-in. or 10-32 x 3/4-in. screws (depending on the type of rack) to attach
the front rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails (three per side).
If you are installing the optional cable guides, place the cable guides in front of the front rack-mount
brackets, and then pass the screws through the cable guides, front rack-mount brackets, and mounting
rail. You can install one or both cable guides; if installing a single cable guide, it can be installed on
either side.

Step 4 From the back of the rack, position the longer slider rails with the ears away from the chassis and slide
them into the C brackets previously installed on the sides of the chassis (see Figure 2-5).
Step 5 Level the chassis (it may sag slightly towards the back) and attach the slider rails to the mounting rails
with the 12-24 x 3/4-in. or 10-32 x 3/4-in. screws, three per side.
