Installation Guidelines Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9500 Series: • Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Cisco recommends that you use the site planning tasks listed in Appendix F, "Site Planning and Maintenance Records." • Ensure that there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for adequate airflow (airflow requirements are listed in Appendix D, "Technical Specifications"). • Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix D, "Technical Specifications." • Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix C, "Cabinet and Rack Requirements." Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. For more information, see the "Jumper Power Cord" section on page E-11. • Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. Grounding the chassis is recommended in all cases, and is mandatory for Cisco MDS 9506 Directors that have a DC power supply installed. If the switch is not mounted in a grounded rack or cabinet, Cisco recommends connecting the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground, regardless of whether the power supplies are AC or DC. • Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix D, "Technical Specifications." You can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures. OL-17467-02 Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide 2-3

Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing the Cisco MDS 9500 Series:
Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Cisco recommends
that you use the site planning tasks listed in
Appendix F, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records.”
Ensure that there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for
adequate airflow (airflow requirements are listed in
Appendix D, “Technical Specifications”
).
Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in
Appendix D,
“Technical Specifications.”
Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in
Appendix C, “Cabinet and Rack
Requirements.”
Note
Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. For more information, see the
“Jumper Power
Cord” section on page E-11
.
Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. Grounding the chassis is recommended in all cases,
and is mandatory for Cisco MDS 9506 Directors that have a DC power supply installed. If the switch
is not mounted in a grounded rack or cabinet, Cisco recommends connecting the system ground on
the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground, regardless of whether the power
supplies are AC or DC.
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in
Appendix D, “Technical
Specifications.”
You can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power
failures.
