Rack mounting safety considerations
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack,
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially lled rack, load the rack from the bottom to
the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack comes with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
• If the chassis ships with blanks, remove the blanks from each slot before lifting the
chassis.

WARNING: These instructions are a condensed reference. Read the safety
instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information booklet
before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specic
switch.
Rack mount safety considerations
• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure,
possibly damaging the equipment and causing personal injury. Stabilize racks in a
permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the
bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When
you install multiple electrical components in a rack, ensure that the total component
power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and
extension cords present re and shock hazards.
• Elevated ambient temperature—If you install the switch in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C (113°F) maximum ambient temperature
of the switch.
• Reduced air ow—Do not compromise the amount of airow required for safe operation
of the equipment. Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment constantly
has the correct amount of airow surrounding it.
• Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to the supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch
circuit, for example: use of power strips.
• Do not mount the equipment with the fan panel facing in the downward position.
Switch installation and removal
1 Align the system with the rails and slide the system into the rack.
2 Tighten the screws on each side of the systems’s front panel, items 1 and 2.
3 To remove the system from the rack, loosen the screws and slide the system out of
the rack.

Ground cable
Depending on the type of switch, to attach a ground cable to the switch, you need one of
the included M3 or M4 screws.
NOTE: For AC-powered switches, although the third conductor of the AC power
cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch with a
dedicated ground wire.
NOTE: For DC-powered switches, the only way to safely ground your switch is to
attach a dedicated ground wire.
The switch ships with one of the following two congurations:
• One threaded hole using an included M3 screw.
• Two threaded holes using one of the two included M4 screws.
In both congurations, the ground cable is not included. To properly ground the switch, Dell
EMC recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M3 or M4 hole size. The grounding lugs must be
a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum
conductors.
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also,
bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny nish and coat with an anti-oxidant
before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
To connect the ground cable to the switch, follow these steps:
1 Cut your ground cable (not included) to the desired length. The cable length must
facilitate proper operation of the fault interrupt circuits. Use the shortest cable route
allowable.
2 To attach the ground cable, use one of the following:
• Using one threaded M3 hole, attached the ground cable to the lug using an M3
screw with a captive internal tooth lock washer, as shown. Torque the screw to
±4-5 in-lbs.
• Using one of the two M4 threaded holes, attach the ground cable to the lug. Use
an M4 screw with a captive internal tooth lock washer, as shown. Torque the screw
to ±5-6 in-lbs.
3 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or
cabinet.
14 Z9264F-ON switch installation

The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.
Optics installation
WARNING: When working with optical bers, follow all warning labels and always
wear eye protection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or
unterminated ber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
1 Position the optic so it is in the correct position.
The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.
2 Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airow from the
small vent holes above and below the ports.
Optics removal
Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.
When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab
rmly and steadily. Before pulling the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into
the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.
Switch power-up
Supply power to the Z9264F-ON switch after you mount it in a rack or cabinet.
Reinspect your switch before power up. Verify the following:
• The equipment is properly secured to the rack. Dell EMC recommends properly
grounding the switch.
• The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room
temperature, is within the limits specied for the Z9264F-ON switch, see Specications.
• There is sucient airow around the unit.
• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sucient
overcurrent protection devices.
• All protective covers are in place.
• Blank panels are installed if you do not install optional modules.
