Preinstalling the Switch
Airflow Considerations
The switch comes with fan and power supply modules that have either port-side intake or port-side exhaust
airflow for cooling the switch. If you are positioning the port end of the switch in a cold aisle, make sure that
the switch has port-side intake fan and power supply modules with red colorings. If you are positioning the
fan and power supply modules in a cold aisle, make sure that the switch has port-side exhaust fan and power
supply modules with blue colorings. All fan and power supply modules must have the same direction of
airflow.
Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems
For connecting the Cisco MDS 9132T switch AC power supplies to the site power source, follow these basic
guidelines:
•
Each power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.
•
Circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.
•
The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.
