EMC Connectrix B Series v6.2 ED-DCX-4S-B Hardware Reference Manual
Installation
Time and items required
EMC recommends that the installation of the ED-DCX-4S-B be
performed by trained EMC service personnel. The content in this
chapter is being provided for informational purposes only and is
not intended to be a “how to” manual for customer set up of the
ED-DCX-4S-B.
You can set up and install the ED-DCX-4S-B in the following ways:
◆ As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
◆ In a chassis with the ED-DCX-4S-B Port Side Exhaust Kit
(provided) in a EMC-qualified rack.
◆ In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using
the Rack Mount Kit (either a 27-31 in. or 18-34 in. kit depending
on rack used).
◆ In a mid-mount telecommunications (Telco) rack, using the
optional Mid-Mount Rack Kit.
Note: The Port Side Exhaust kit is required for installation in any closed side
cabinet. See Appendix E, “Port Side Exhaust Kit Installation Procedure” for
installation instructions.
This chapter describes how to set up the ED-DCX-4S-B as a
standalone unit. For rack-mount installation instructions, refer to the
appropriate manual that comes with your kit.
Table 3 on page 33 describes the main installation and setup tasks and
the estimated time required for each, based on a fully populated
ED-DCX-4S-B (192 Fibre Channel ports). Configurations with fewer
ports require less time. These time estimates assume a prepared
installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
