1Overview
The UfiSpace S9600-64X is a high-performance, versatile, open disaggregated aggregation
router. It is designed to address the changing needs of the next generation transport
network as Telecoms make the transition from legacy technologies towards 5G.
Providing 25GE and 100GE services ports, the S9600-64X platform can enable multiple
application architectures required for high traffic loading in a 5G mobile Ethernet network.
Due to its versatility, the S9600-64X can be positioned in different parts of the network to
perform aggregation, such as in the backhaul to aggregate BBU pooling or even as a
Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) within the central office.
With the hardware fully supporting IEEE 1588v2 and SyncE synchronization, 1+1
redundancy hot-swappable components, and a high port density design, the S9600-64X
delivers high system reliability, Ethernet switching performance and intelligence to the
network that helps reduce infrastructure and administrative costs.
This document describes the hardware installation process for S9600-64X.

Installation Environment Requirements
•Power Reserve: The S9600-64X power supply is available with:
1. DC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable -48 voltage DC power supply field
replaceable unit or;
2. AC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable 200-240V AC power supply field replaceable
unit.
Figure 1.
To ensure the redundant feed power design functions properly, a field with dual power
circuit is recommend with a reserve of at least 1600 watts on each power circuit.
•Space Clearance: The S9600-64X width is 17.16 inches (43.6cm) and shipped with a rack mount
brackets suitable for 19 inch (48.3cm) wide racks. The depth of the S9600-64X chassis is 30
inches (762cm) without the field replaceable units (FRUs) and comes with adjustable mounting
rails suitable for rack depths of 22 inches (55.9cm) to 33 inches
(83.8cm). The handle for the fan units will extend outwards by 1.2 inch (2.9cm) and the handle
for the power supplies will extend outwards by 1.1 inches (2.7cm). Therefore, to accommodate
the fan and power supply handles, a minimum space clearance of 6 inches (15.2cm) is needed
at the back of the S9600-64X. A total minimum reserve depth of 36 inches (91.4cm) is required.

5Rack Mounting
It is recommended that installation be done by at least two trained professionals.
One individual should hold the router in position, while the other secures it in
place onto the rail slides.
1. Separate the adjustable mounting rail slides.
1.1 Pull apart the inner and outer rails until it is locked in place. An audible click can be heard
when the rails are locked in place.
1.2 Pull the white tab forward to unlock the rails in order to completely separate the inner rail
from the outer rail. The white tab is located on the inner rail.
1.3 Once the inner rail is separated, push the tab located on the outer rail to unlock and slide
the middle rail back.
Figure 9.
2Install the inner rails onto the chassis.
2.1 The inner rail has key-shaped holes where attachment pins on the chassis can be aligned.
The chassis has 5 attachment pins on each side, for a total of 10 pins. Fit the key-shaped
holes with the attachment pins and pull back to hold the inner rack in place.
Make sure the locking screw of the inner rail is positioned at the front of the
chassis.
2.2 After the attachment pins are secured to the inner rail, lock the inner rail to the chassis
using two M4 screws (one on each chassis side).

3Fix the outer rails onto the rack.
3.1 The outer rails have two brackets on the front and rear. Pull back the clip of the rear
bracket to attach it onto the rack. An audible click can be hear when the bracket is secured
onto the rack.
3.2 Once the rear bracket is secured, pull back the clip of the front bracket attach it to the rack.
An audible click can be heard when the bracket is secured onto the rack.
Figure 11.
4Insert the Chassis to complete the installation.
4.1 Pull the middle rail fully extended into lock position, an audible click can be heard when the
middle rail is fully extended and locked into position.
4.2 Insert the chassis by lining up the inner rails into the slot of the middle rail.
4.3 Slide the chassis into the middle rail until it hits a stop.
4.4 Push the blue release tab on each rail to unlock the rails and slide the chassis all the way
into the rack.
4.5 Lock the chassis into place by using the screw on the front of the inner rail.

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. Locate the release tab on the fan module. Then press and hold the release tab to unlock the
fan module.
Figure 13.
2. While holding down the release tab, grip the fan handle and gently pull the fan module out of
the fan bay.
Figure 14.
3. Align the new fan module with the fan bay, ensuring that the fan module’s power connector is
in the correct position.
4. Carefully slide the new fan module into the fan bay and gently push until it is flush with the
case.
5. An audible click will be heard when the fan module is installed correctly. The fan module will
not go in all the way if it is installed in the wrong direction.
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
(with 110V Low Line/220V High Line power input). The AC and DC PSU follow the same steps for
installation. The PSUs comes pre-installed and the following are instructions on how to install a
new PSU.

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 and M4 screws and washers are provided with the package contents,
however, the grounding wire is not included. The location for securing the grounding lug is at the
rear of the case and is covered with a protective label.
The following instructions are for installing the grounding lug onto the case.
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.

S9600-64X Hardware Installation Guide | 17
5. Locate the designated location for securing the grounding lug, which is located on the rear of
the router and remove the protective label.
Figure 20.
6. Using 2 M4 screws and 4 washers (provided with the package contents), firmly lock the
grounding lug to the designated grounding location on the router.
Figure 21.
