Site Planning and Safety Guidelines

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure that the following requirements are met:

•The primary AC input is 90-264 VAC (switch auto-senses input voltage), 47-440 Hz.

•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.

For power supply information, refer to the Brocade 5000 Hardware Reference Manual.

To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing a

cool-air aisle.

Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°Celsius (104°Fahrenheit) and that the ambient

humidity remains between 20 percent and 85 percent while the switch is operating.

If installing the switch in a cabinet:

•The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.

•Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit high (1.75 inches; 4.44 cm), 19 inches (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 24

inches (61 cm) deep.
