NEBS compliance

For your switch to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, you must follow the instructions detailed in this section.

To be NEBS compliant, orient your switch in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the back aisle.

Topics:

• Important information

• NEBS-compliant ground installation

Important information

WARNING: The SFP+, QSFP, QSFP28, console, Ethernet management, and universal serial bus (USB) ports are suitable for

connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. You MUST NOT metallically connect the ports to interfaces that

connect to the out side plant (OSP) or its wiring. Use these interfaces as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type-2 or Type-4 ports as

described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and they require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. Adding primary protectors is not

sucient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

WARNING: If you install and connect the Z9100-ON switch to a commercial AC power source, you must connect the switch to

an external special protection device (SPD).

To be NEBs compliant:

• Locate your switch in a restricted-access area were only trained personnel are allowed access.

• Install and connect your switch to the common bonding network (CBN).

• You can also install and connect your switch to the central oce.

• Connect the battery returns of your switch as DC-I.

• Ground your switch using a copper ground conductor.

• Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your switch with an anti-oxidant solution before making connections.

• Bring all unplated surfaces on your switch to a bright nish and treat them with an anti-oxidant solution before making connections.

• To ensure electrical continuity, remove any nonconductive surfaces on your switch from the threads and connection points.

• Use the two-hole, Listed, compression-type lug with an AWG 14 gauge wire for switch grounding.

NOTE

: The Z9100-ON can operate at -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC at a maximum current level of 15A.

NOTE: The Z9100-ON is Earthquake Z4-compliant when you attach the ReadyRails to the four-post frame using threaded

NOTE

: For AC-powered switches, although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC

recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire.

NOTE: For DC-powered switches, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire.

18 Z9100–ON installation

Depending on the type of switch, to attach a ground cable to the switch, you need one of the included M3 or M4 screws. The switch ships

with one of the following two congurations:

• One threaded hole using an included M3 screw.

• Two threaded holes using one of the two included M4 screws.

In both congurations, the ground cable is not included. To properly ground the switch, Dell EMC recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M3

or M4 hole size. The switch hole lugs must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug.

CAUTION: Grounding conductors

must

be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors.

NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a

bright nish and coat with an anti-oxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.

NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.

To connect the ground cable to the switch, follow these steps:

1 Remove the ground cable from the shipping bag and cut it to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate proper operation of

the fault interrupt circuits. Use the shortest cable route allowable.

2 Use one of the following to attach the ground cable:

• Using one threaded M3 hole, attached the ground cable to the lug using an M3 screw with a captive internal tooth lock washer, as

shown. Torque the screw to ±4–5 in-lbs.

• Using one of the two M4 threaded holes, attach the ground cable to the lug. Use an M4 screw with a captive internal tooth lock

washer, as shown. Torque the screw to ±5–6 in-lbs.

3 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a suitable ground point such as the rack or cabinet.

The rack installation ears are not a suitable grounding point.

Rack or cabinet installation

You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack. Compliant racks

include four-post, two-post, or threaded. The ReadyRails system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.

The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.

CAUTION

: Your switch is not NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant if you use the 1U tool-less square-hole or two-post installation

methods.

WARNING: This guide is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory

information booklet before you begin.

NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specic switch.

NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.

Rack mount safety considerations

• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure and can damage the equipment and possible

personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the rack,

then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.

• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specied on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a

rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension

cables present re and shock hazards.

• Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be

greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C (113°F) maximum ambient temperature of the switch.

• Reduced airow—Do not compromise the amount of airow required for safe operation of the equipment. Install the equipment in the

rack so that the equipment constantly has the correct amount of airow surrounding it.

Z9100–ON installation

• Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other than

the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example: use of power strips.

• Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.

ReadyRails installation

The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily congure your rack for installation of your Z9100–ON switch.

You can install the ReadyRails system using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods. The tooled installation

methods include two-post ush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded.

CAUTION: Do not use this method if you need your switch to be NEBS Earthquake Z4-compliant.

1 Face the ReadyRails ange ears facing outward. Place one rail between the left and right vertical posts. Align and seat the back ange

rail pegs in the back vertical post ange.

The center extraction shows the pegs in both the square and nonthreaded round holes.
