Installation and safety considerations
NOTE
The HA cables and HA cable holder kit should be stored in a safe place for future use when the
stacking feature is available.
Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade ICX 7750 in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional 4-post universal rack mount kit
can be order from your switch retailer to support up to a 30" deep rack. The 4-post rack mount
kit includes mid-mount and rear-mount brackets.
• In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush-mount rack kit. The 2-post rack mount ears are included
with the switch and support various mounting positions (refer to
Figure 10 ).
Electrical considerations
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure compliance with the following requirements:
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating
on the switch nameplate.
• The power supply standards are met.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:
• Because the Brocade ICX 7750 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or
back to front, be sure to orient your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the
rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust
air.
• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your
environment. Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct
configuration.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F) while the Brocade ICX 7750-26Q
or Brocade ICX 7750-48F switch is operating, or 40°C (104°F) while the Brocade ICX
7750-48C switch is operating.
Location considerations
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface.
