DS1000

Chassis Installation

DS1000 is designed to be installed in a standard 19'' square hole, four post rack. The bracket kit is only for 19 inch (483mm) wide, standard square hole racks, with a depth ranging from 22 inches ~ 33.5 inches (558mm ~ 850mm) as measured from rack post to rack post. This chapter covers the tools and procedures necessary to correctly and safely install the DS1000 Ethernet switch. Before beginning, create a clean, stable, and level work surface.

Note: The power distribution unit (PDU) location in the rack should avoid interference with the cable management accessory (CMA) and potential removal of field replaceable units (FRUs) from the rear of the chassis. A wider rack enclosure width is recommended along with suitable PDU and power cord plug orientation.
CAUTION: Use two or more people to mount chassis into rack.

Installation Tools

Gathering the following tools before starting the chassis installation is recommended.

  • Phillips Head (PH#1 and PH#2) slotted screwdrivers

  • Standard flat blade screwdriver

  • Anti-static wrist strap

  • Anti-static overalls

  • Protective gloves

Rail Kit Assembly

There are several considerations to keep in mind when installing a rail kit in a server rack. Following these recommendations will ensure a successful installation.

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment where the chassis does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified.

Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Open Rack Mounting
Care should be taken to prevent the rack frame from obstructing the ventilation openings. Be sure to check the chassis positioning after installation to avoid overheating.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Grounding
Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
Note: Rack mounted equipment must not be used as a shelf or work space. Do not add weight to rack mounted equipment.

For safety, a rack should should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the equipment that will be mounted in the lowest part of the rack first, then the next higher systems, etc.

CAUTION: To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, the anti-tilt bar on the rack must be deployed.

If a standard 19'' rack is not available, DS1000 can be placed on a clean, stable, and level surface. Leave a clearance of 100mm (~4 inches) around the chassis for ventilation. Do not place anything on top of the chassis.

Installing the Chassis

Note: The following illustrations may display a different product. However, the installation process is similar to other Celestica rack-mountable networking products.
  1. Attach the two outer brackets with M4 screws provided in the accessory kit.
  2. Align outer bracket with chassis holes (chassis left is same as right).
  3. Lock outer bracket with M4 screw (PH#2 slotted screwdriver)

  4. Push the chassis with the outer bracket locked in step 1 above from the front side by one person, and push the inner bracket into the outer brackets (sleeve) slot on the chassis from the rear side by another person at the same time, until guide pin (detail 1) and inner bracket guide pin (detail 3) fit in rack square holes. Then, lock them with M6 screws (PH#3 slotted screwdriver).
  5. Press chassis and inner bracket until M6 screws fully lock.
  6. Save enough space around the switch for good air circulation.
