1Overview
The UfiSpace S9301-32DB is a high-performance, versatile open networking white box
switch that is designed to address the fast growing segment of the Ethernet switching
market and the needs to push capacity to the next level.
With 24x200GE QSFP56 and 8x400GE QSFP-DD ports, the S9301-32DB switch is where
computer resources (servers or blade chassis) are centralized and managed in a structured
way utilizing high-efficiency Ethernet connectivity.
With advanced capabilities, these switches deliver performance and intelligence to the
network edge in a flexible 1RU form factor that helps reduce infrastructure and
administrative costs.
The S9301-32DB is the epitome of future networking with a powerful Intel Skylake 8-core
processor and Broadcom Trident4 X9 switching ASIC. It comes with redundant, hot
swappable components for convenience, increased availability, reliability and lower costs of
maintenance.
This document describes the hardware installation process for S9301-32DB.

Installation Environment Requirements
•Power Reserve: The S9301-32DB power supply is available with:
1. DC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable, active-active, DC power supply field
replaceable unit or;
2. AC Version: 1+1 Redundant and hot swappable, active-active, AC power supply field
replaceable unit.
For power voltage range requirements, please see section 2.3.
To ensure the active-active feed power design functions properly, a field with dual power
circuit is recommend with a reserve of at least 1000 watts on each power circuit.
•Space Clearance: The S9301-32DB 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 S9301-32DB
chassis is 25.4 inches (64.5cm) without the field replaceable units (FRUs) and comes with
adjustable mounting rails suitable for rack depths of 20 inches (55.3cm) to 35 inches
(88.9cm). 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 handles, power supply handles and cable routing, a minimum space
clearance of 6 inches (15.24cm) is needed at the front and back of the S9301-32DB. A total
minimum reserve depth of 37.4 inches (95cm) is required.

• Cooling: The S9301-32DB 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.
1. Separate the adjustable 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 15.
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 captive 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). See Figure 16.

Figure 17.
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 18.

S9301-32DB Hardware Installation Guide | 16
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 captive screw on the front of the inner rail.
Figure 19.

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 20.
2. Grip the fan's handle and firmly pull it out of the fan bay.
Figure 21.
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.
