Installing the Hardware
This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the
chassis.
Installing the Chassis
To install the C7004/C150 and the C7008/C300 chassis, Dell Networking
recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented
below.
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions apply to both the
C7004/C150 and C7008/C300 chassis.
Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the
switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs).
CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or
heel ground strap when handling the chassis and its components. As with all
electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent
injury when installing this system. ESD damage can occur if components are
mishandled.
Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack
WARNING: Use an equipment lift or pallet jack when lifting or moving the
chassis. Install the chassis into the rack before inserting chassis components.
Lift the chassis only from the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power
supply openings might damage the chassis.
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:
• Mount this unit at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers
before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

6Installing the Hardware
Follow these steps to install the chassis into a 19-inch equipment rack:
Step Task
1Determine the chassis mounting location in the equipment rack.
2Orient the bar with the arrows pointing upward. The smooth side of the
bar should face outward.
3Attach the bar to the equipment rack brackets using the mounting screws
provided by the rack manufacturer.
4Use an equipment lift to align the chassis rack-mount holes with the
equipment rack holes, and situate the chassis on top of the equipment
rack bar.

Installing the Hardware 7
5Insert screws (provided with your rack) through the chassis rack-
mounting bracket and into the equipment rack, and tighten them.

8Installing the Hardware
Installing Power Modules
CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply
1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may
be lost.
If there is a failure in the power supply, you must replace it. Power supplies are
not field serviceable.
The C7004/C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis.
The C7008/C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis.
The slots accept either the 1200W or 1600W AC power supply units (PSUs).
AC Power Supplies
• There are two types of power supplies: Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power
Supply 1600W-AC. The minimum and redundant power supplies required to
operate are listed in the table below. Dell Networking recommends the
redundancy configuration.
• The following table lists the PSU requirements for Dell Networking OS
version 8.4.5.0 or prior. 1600W-AC PSU is recognized by version 8.4.5.0 or
later.

Installing the Hardware 9
For Dell Networking OS version 8.4.6.0, the minimum PSUs required for system power is based on
the power requirements of the RPMs, the line cards, and the type of fan tray present in the chassis.
System Power Required = Power required for 2 RSMs + Power Required for Fan Tray + Power
required for Line cards in the system.
Number of PSUs Required for System Power = System Power Required /90% of PSU power
For power requirements corresponding to different components, refer to Installing and Maintain-
ing the C7004/C150 System and Installing and Maintaining the C7008/C300 System.
If N PSUs are required for system power, then N+1 th PSU is reserved for redundant system power.
For details corresponding to PoE power availability, refer to Power Over Ethernet section of Dell
Networking OS Configuration Guide.
• To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank on all
unused power supply slots.
• Connect the AC power supply to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by local electrical codes.
• Verify that the remote power source complies with the system input power
specifications.
WARNING: Use only the AC power cord supplied with the AC power supply.
Do not supply power to your system until you install the power supplies, fan
tray, route processor modules (RPMs), and line cards.
WARNING: This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure you use a fuse or circuit breaker no larger
than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) on the phase conductors
(all current-carrying conductors).
WARNING: The C7008/C300 does not have a main disconnect device
installed. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide a suitable
disconnecting device in the building installation and ensure that it is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
WARNING: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply
1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may
be lost.

10 Installing the Hardware
WARNING: The C7008/C300 and C7004/C150 operates in either of two
voltage ranges. The different power supplyconfiguration supported is listed in
the following table. As a safety precaution, do not install more than the
recommended maximum number of PSUs (shown below), as this causes high
leakage current. Install blank panels in all unused PSU slots.
NOTE: The higher power of power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) (30W/port) is
available only with Power Supply 1600W-AC and the PoE+ line card. When using
the PoE line card or PoE+ line card and the Power Supply 1200W-AC, only
15.4W/port power is available. The maximum power per port is listed in the
following table.
Voltage Frequency Maximum PSUs
C7004/C150 100-120 50/60Hz 5 primary + 1 redundant
200-240 50/60Hz 5 primary + 1 redundant
C7008/C300 100-120 50/60Hz 7 primary + 1 redundant
200-240 50/60Hz 7 primary + 1 redundant
Step Task
1Verify the power switch is in the OFF (left) position.
2Secure the retaining latch in the unlatched position by tightening the
screw into the threaded hole.
3Slide the power supply into the top left-most power supply slot.
Dell Networking recommends installing power supplies starting from
the left side, top row of the chassis, leaving no blank slots between units.
4Lower the retaining latch, and tighten it into place.
5Plug the AC power cord into the power receptacle in the face of the
power supply.
6Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
