Installation Environment Requirements
•Power Reserve: The S9180-32X power supply is available with:
1. DC Version: 1+1 active-active -40 to -72V DC power supply field replaceable unit or;
2. AC Version: 1+1 active-active 100 to 240V AC power supply field replaceable unit.
To ensure the active-active feed power design functions properly, a field with dual power
circuit is recommend with a reserve of at least 650 watts on each power circuit.
•Space Clearance: The S9180-32X width is 17.32 inches (44.0cm) and shipped with a rack
mount brackets suitable for 19 inch (43.8cm) wide racks. The depth of the S9180-32X chassis
is 16.9 inches (42.8cm) without the field replaceable units (FRUs) and comes with adjustable
mounting rails suitable for rack depths of 24 inches (60.9cm) to 31 inches (78.7cm). The
handle for the fan units will extend outwards by 1 inch (2.5cm) and the handle for the power
supplies will extend outwards by 1.5 inches (3.8cm). Therefore, to accommodate the fan and
power supply handles, a minimum space clearance of 6 inches (15.24cm) is needed at the
back of the S9180-32X. A total minimum reserve depth of 25.9 inches (65.79cm) is required.

• Cooling: The S9180-32X has two options for airflow direction. There is a back-to-front
option (Figure 3. Left) and a front-to-back option (Figure 3. Right). Make sure the
equipment on the same rack have the same airflow direction.

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.
Illustrations are for reference purposes only. Actual equipment and scenario
may differ. Screws for rack posts not included.
1. Secure the rack mount brackets onto the switch.
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 12.
2. Secure the switch onto the rack posts.
Mark the location on both posts to ensure it is leveled before securing the switch onto
the rack.
Figure 13.
For a 4 post rack, first secure the adjustable mounting rail to the back of the switch using the
M4.0*L6.5mm screws provided in the package. Then secure the adjustable mounting rail to the
rack posts.
Figure 14.

6Installing Fan Modules
The fan modules are hot swappable field replaceable units (FRUs), which can be replaced while the
switch 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 15.
2. Grip the fan's handle and firmly pull it out of the fan bay.
Figure 16.
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 17.

S9180-32X Hardware Installation Guide | 13
7Installing Power Supply Units
The power supply unit (PSU) is a hot swappable field replaceable unit (FRU) and can be replaced
while the switch 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. The
process for removing and installing the PSUs are the same for all models.
DC:
AC:
Figure 18.
Shock hazard!
For safety, please disconnect all power inputs from the power supply unit before
servicing the switch.
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.

8Grounding the Switch
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 switch can be grounded from the switch'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.
The following instructions are for grounding the switch.
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 switch, 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. Remove the grounding screw from the switch.
3. Attach the power cable
Connect the screw to an 18AWG minimum ring terminal grounding wire (not provided).
4. Connect the other end of the wire to the rack ground.
Figure 21.

S9180-32X Hardware Installation Guide | 16
9Connecting Power
DC Version
1. Ensure there is enough power to supply the system.
The maximum system power consumption is 451 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
S9180-32X is designed to support 1 + 1 power redundancy.
2. Attach the power cable.
Locate the DC power terminal block on the DC PSU. Attach the D-Sub to terminal DC power
cable (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 24.
3. Tighten the D-sub to terminal DC power cable.
Figure 24.

S9180-32X Hardware Installation Guide | 17
4. Feed DC power into the system.
The PSU will immediately output 12V and 12VSB to the system when a -40V to -72V DC power
source is applied. The PSU has a built in 25 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 system’s LED will display green for SYS, FAN, PS1
and PS2, which signals that the switch is operating normally.
AC Version
1. Ensure there is enough power to supply the system.
The maximum system power consumption is 451 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 S9180-32X 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 system’s LED will display green for SYS, FAN, PS1
and PS2, which signals that the switch is operating normally.
