1Overview
The UfiSpace S9601-104BC 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, 100GE and 200GE services ports, the S9601-104BC platform can enable
multiple application architectures required for high traffic loading in a 5G mobile Ethernet
network. Due to its versatility, the S9601-104BC 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 S9601-104BC 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 S9601-104BC.

Installation Environment Requirements
•Power Reserve: The S9601-104BC power supply is available with:
1. DC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable -40 to -72V DC power supply field
replaceable unit or;
2. AC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable 100 to 240V AC power supply field
replaceable unit.
To ensure the redundant feed power design functions properly, a field with dual power
circuit is recommend with a reserve of at least 1300 watts on each power circuit.
•Space Clearance: The S9601-104BC 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 S9601-104BC
chassis is 17.32 inches (44.0cm) without the field replaceable units (FRUs) and comes with
adjustable check mounting rails suitable for rack depths of 22 inches (55.88cm) to 33 inches
(83.82cm). The handle for the fan units will extend outwards by 1.15 inch (2.9cm) and the
handle for the power supplies will extend outwards by 1.19 inches (3cm). 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 S9601-104BC. A total minimum reserve depth of 24
inches (60.96cm) 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 sliding rail.
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.
The AC and DC PSU follow the same steps for installation. The PSU 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.
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.
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.

9Connecting Power
DC Version
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
1. Ensure there is enough power to supply the system.
The maximum system power consumption is 919 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
S9601-104BC is designed to support 1 + 1 power redundancy.
2. Attach the DC power cables to the lugs.
The UL 1015, 8 AWG DC power cable (not provided) must be attached to a two-hole lug before
connecting to the PSU. The following instructions are for connecting the DC Power Cable to the
lug:
2.1 Strip the insulation from a DC Power Cable, leaving 0.5” +/-0.02” (12.7mm +/-0.5mm) of
exposed cable
2.2 Insert the exposed DC power cable into the heat shrink tubing, the length of heat shrink
tubing should not less than 38.5mm.
2.3 Insert the exposed DC power cable all the way into the hollow tube of the lug (provided
with switch package contents).
2.4 Using a crimping tool, firmly secure the DC power cable to the lug. It is recommended to not
crimp exceeding the lines indicated on the lug, which is also depicted as the cross-section area
in the picture on the below.
Figure 21.
