Chassis InstallationRev 2.1

Mellanox Technologies

1 Chassis Installation

Installation and initialization of the chassis is a simple process requiring attention to the normal

mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. Your Chassis will be

shipped in two packages one with the all of the leafs (leaf package) that are ordered and an extra

management module should it be ordered, and the second package (chassis package) with all of the

rest of the parts.

The chassis requires initial configuration to get the chassis and Fabric management up and running

through remote management.

1.1 Environmental and Safety Recommendations

The following are Mellanox recommendations.

This chassis can be installed in standard 19” racks that have depths between 65cm and

80cm between the vertical supports of the rack.

This unit is intended for installation in a Restricted Access Location. A restricted

access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or

other means of security.

Recommended ambient temperature in the System room is 20

± 5

Recommended humidity ranges is 40% ± 15% without condensing.

It is highly recommended that the installation sites be as isolated as possible from all

sources of radio transmissions and electrical interference.

It is highly recommended that the installation site building be equipped with a light-

ning rod.

1.2 Chassis Package Contents

The package includes:

• 1 chassis with the following modules installed:



18 spines



1 management module



8 fans



10 PSUs

• 1 installation kit

• 1 box containing 10 power cords 125V 10A, C14 to C13, 6 feet long, USA UL Standard

• 1 cable management kit

• 1 installation guide (this document)

Before you install your new IS5600 series chassis, unpack the system and check to make

sure that all the parts have been sent, check this against the parts list. Check the parts for

visible damages that may have occurred during shipping.

It is highly recommended that the installation site be equipped with smoke detectors

and a fire alarm warning system.

The system requires a KVA rated UPS system. The heat dissipation is calculated

(Power Dissipation x 3.42 = Heat Dissipation). It is recommended that a UPS system

be installed to protect the equipment in the event of unexpected power failure.

A fully loaded IS5600 switch system can draw 8 kW (~67A @ 120V or 34A@240V)

of power. Make sure that the outlets and circuits will not be overloaded. Spread out the

load over at least two or three circuits or use a 3 phase circuit.

The leafs, spines, and management modules are shipped separately.

If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative immediately.

1.3 Leaf Package Contents

The package includes all of the leafs ordered by the customer.

1.4 Spine Package Contents

The package includes all of the spines ordered by the customer.

1.5 Management Package Contents

The package includes:

• all of the management modules ordered by the customer

• 1 RJ45 to DB9 harness

1.6 Physical Installation

The switch platform uses 31U of rack space in a standard 19” rack, 29U for the chassis and 2U for

the shelf. The switch ships from the factory with mounting holes on the spine side. There are upper

brackets to connect the leaf side to the rack near the top of the chassis, and there are two lock-

down bars to secure the chassis to the shelf. The weight of the switch is supported from underneath

the unit by the shelf.

This chassis can be installed in standard 19” racks that have depths between 65cm and 80cm

between the vertical supports of the rack. Make sure that a fully populated rack including cables

will have sufficient air flow for cooling.

The rack mounting holes conform to the IEA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Guaran-

tee proper ventilation, by leaving 8cm (3”) of space to the front and rear of the switch.

This will ensure proper air flow through the chassis. This is crucial for maintaining

good airflow at ambient temperature. In particular, route cables such that they do not

impede the air into or out of the chassis.

Warning: This equipment is very heavy. Safety is the first concern. The fully loaded

chassis weighs

~740 lbs (~335 kg)

. Make sure that proper manpower and equipment

is used for transporting and moving the chassis.

Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteris-

tics of a fully populated switch chassis.

1.6.1 Starting with the Rack

1.6.1.1 Rack Recommendation

1.6.1.2 Preparing the Rack

The rack may need to be modified to accommodate the 5600 chassis. The distance

between the vertical supports must be between 65 and 80 cm.

Figure 1: Distance Between the Vertical Supports

Due to the space required by up to 648 connector cables Mellanox recommends a rack

that is 120 cm long and 80cm wide. This will allow for proper cable management and

enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.

Mellanox recommends that you remove both sides of the rack to make the installation

easier.

You will need a fork lift, to move and insert the chassis into the rack.

This edge of the shelf

must be as close as

possible to the inside of

the door when closed.

Chassis InstallationRev 2.1

Mellanox Technologies

The vertical supports may have to be moved so that the vertical support closest to the door is 6 cm

from the inside of the door. This may be required so that the shelf does not protrude from the rack.

1.6.2 ESD Connection

Before starting any procedure on the 5600 series switch system:

1. Put an ESD prevention wrist strap on your wrist, and make sure there is good contact

between your body and the strap.

2. Plug the other end of the wrist strap to a valid ground. Make sure that this is a tight fit.

1.6.3 Installation Procedure

1.6.3.1 Requirements

You will need:

If you move the vertical supports make sure that you reinstall them vertically

plumb.

Installing the chassis will be a lot easier if you can remove the sides of the rack.

You will need a fork lift, to move and insert the chassis into the rack.

• #2 phillips screwdriver • #3 phillips screwdriver

• a fork lift • a grounding lug

• measuring tape • ground wire of sufficient length and gauge to properly ground the

chassis

• One 9/16 box wrench

The installation will be much easier with a power screwdriver.

It is recommended to use AWG6 or 4mm diameter wire for grounding purposes.

1.6.3.3 Installing the Shelf

1. Select the location in the rack. Try to keep the chassis as low as possible to keep the center of

gravity low.

The maximum height that the chassis can be mounted, will be determined by the maximum height

that the fork lift can raise the pallet.

2. Open the Installation kit and make sure that all of the parts are in the box. See

Figure 2,“Installation Kit Parts”.

The chassis will sit in the rack with the spine side as close as possible to the door.

3. Measure the distance between the vertical supports and adjust the shelf bracket according to

this distance. This chassis can be installed a rack with a distance between the vertical sup

ports of from 65cm(25.6in.) to 80cm(31.5in.).

The chassis is on ball bearings and can roll easily. Be aware that the chassis can roll off

of the pallet. Should the chassis start to fall, move out of the way. The chassis can

cause grave bodily harm should it fall on or near you.

It is recommended to set the shelf at U5. Try and keep the chassis as low as possible.

The side of the chassis with the spine units will sit flush with the vertical supports of

the rack. The side of the chassis with the QSFP connectors will sit at the edge of the

shelf closer to the center of the rack.
