5Rack Mounting
It is recommended that installation be done by two trained professionals. One
individual should hold the equipment in position on the rack while the other
secures it in place.
1. Secure the rack mount brackets onto the router.
Align the rack mount brackets with the holes provided on the both sides of the case and
secure the brackets using the 8 M4.0*L6.5mm screws provided with the package.
Figure 10.
2. Secure the router onto the rack posts.
Mark the location on both posts to ensure it is leveled before securing the router onto
the rack. (See Figure 11). For a 4 post rack, first secure the adjustable mounting rail to the back
of the router using the M4.0*L6.5mm screws provided in the package. Then secure the
adjustable mounting rail to the rack posts. (See Figure 12).
Illustrations are for reference purposes only. Actual scenario may differ. Screws
for rack posts not included.

6Installing Fan Modules
The fan modules are hot swappable field replaceable units (FRUs), which can be replaced while the
router is operating as long as all the remaining modules are installed and in operation. The fans
come pre-installed and the following steps are instructions on how to install a new fan module.
1. Loosen the captive screw located on the fan module.
Figure 13.
2. Grip the fan's handle and firmly pull it out of the fan bay.
Figure 14.
3. Align the new fan module with the fan bay.
4. Carefully slide the new fan module into the fan bay and gently push until it is flush with the
case.
5. Secure the captive screw on the fan module to lock the fan in place.
Figure 15.

7Installing Power Supply Units
The power supply unit (PSU) is a hot swappable field replaceable unit (FRU) and can be replaced
while the router is operating as long as the remaining (second) PSU is installed and in operation.
The PSUs comes pre-installed and the following are instructions on how to install a new PSU.

Shock hazard!
For safety, please disconnect all power inputs from the power supply unit before
servicing the router.
1. Locate the release tab on the PSU. Then press and hold down the release tab to unlock the PSU
from the power bay.
2. While holding down the release tab, grip the PSU's handle and firmly pull it out of the power
bay.

3. Align the new PSU with the power bay, ensuring the PSU’s power connector is in the correct
position.
4. Carefully slide the new PSU into the power bay and gently push until it is flush with the case.
5. An audible click will be heard when the PSU is installed correctly. The PSU will not go in all the
way if it is in the wrong direction.

8Grounding the Router
It is recommended that equipment changes be done on a grounded rack system. This will reduce
or prevent the risk of shock hazards, equipment damage, and potential of data corruption.
The router can be grounded from the router's case and/or the power supply units (PSUs). When
grounding the PSUs, ensure that both PSUs are grounded at the same time in case one of them is
removed. A grounding lug, M4 screws, and washers are provided with the package contents,
however, the grounding wire is not included. For convenience, there are two locations on the case
in which the grounding lug may be fixed.
The following instructions are for grounding the router.
This equipment must be grounded. Do not defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment without correctly grounding the equipment. If there is any
uncertainty about the integrity of the equipment's grounding, please contact the
electrical inspection authority or a certified electrician.
1. Before grounding the router, ensure that the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with
local regulatory guidelines. Ensure that there is nothing that can obstruct the connection for
grounding and remove any paint or materials that may prevent good grounding contact.
2. Strip the insulation from a size #6 AWG grounding wire (not provided within the package
contents), leaving 0.5” +/-0.02” (12.7mm +/-0.5mm) of exposed grounding wire.
3. Insert the exposed grounding wire all the way into the hole of the grounding lug (provided with
package contents).
4. Using a crimping tool, firmly secure the grounding wire to the grounding lug.
Figure 19.

S9500-22XST Hardware Installation Guide | 15
5. Locate the designated location for securing the grounding lug, which is located on the side of
the router.
6. Using 2 M4 screws and 4 washers (provided with the package contents), firmly lock the
grounding lug to either of the designated grounding locations on the router.
Figure 20.
Figure 21.
Figure 22.

S9500-22XST Hardware Installation Guide | 16
9Connecting Power
DC Version
1. Ensure there is enough power to supply the system.
The maximum system power consumption is 193 watts. It is recommended to ensure that
enough power is reserved from the power distribution system before installation. Also, please
ensure that both PSUs have been properly installed before powering up the equipment, as the
S9500-22XST is designed to support 1 + 1 power redundancy.
2. Attach the power cable.
Locate the DC power screw-type terminal block on the DC PSU. Attach the UL 1015, 14 AWG DC
power cable (not provided within the package contents) to the DC inlet connector on the PSU.
Dangerous voltage!
•Must be powered off before removing!
•Verify that all electrical connections are grounded before powering on
•The DC power source must be reliably grounded
Figure 23.
3. Tighten the screws to the specified torque.
Tighten the screws to a torque value of 7.0+/-0.5kgf.cm. If the torque is not enough, the lug
will not be secure and may cause malfunctions. If the torque is too much, the terminal block or
lug may be damaged.
Figure 24.

S9500-22XST Hardware Installation Guide | 17
4. Feed DC power into the system.
The PSU will immediately output 12V and 5VSB to the system when a -36V to -75V DC power
source is applied. The PSU has a built in 20 amperes, fast acting fuse based on the PSU
maximum capacity, which will act as a second tier system protection in case the power
distribution unit’s fuse is not functioning.
5. Verify that the power supply is operating.
If connected correctly, when turned on, the LED on the PSU will light up with a Green color
designating normal operation.
AC Version
1. Ensure there is enough power to supply the system.
The maximum system power consumption is 193 watts with an input voltage of 100-240V AC. It
is recommended to ensure that enough power is reserved from the power distribution system
before installation. Also, please ensure that both PSUs have been properly installed before
powering up the equipment, as the S9500-22XST is designed to support 1 + 1 power
redundancy.
2. Attach the power cable.
Plug the power cord into the AC PSU and secure it tightly.
3. Verify that the power supply is operating.
If connected correctly, when turned on, the LED on the PSU will light up with a Green color
designating normal operation.
