Installing the Hardware

This guide assumes all site preparation has been performed before installing the

chassis.

Installing the Chassis

To install the C7004/C150 and the C7008/C300 chassis, Dell Networking

recommends completing the installation procedures in the order presented

below.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions apply to both the

C7004/C150 and C7008/C300 chassis.

Always handle the system and its components with care. Avoid dropping the

switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs).

CAUTION: Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist or

heel ground strap when handling the chassis and its components. As with all

electrical devices of this type, take all necessary safety precautions to prevent

injury when installing this system. ESD damage can occur if components are

mishandled.

WARNING: Use an equipment lift or pallet jack when lifting or moving the

chassis. Install the chassis into the rack before inserting chassis components.

Lift the chassis only from the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power

supply openings might damage the chassis.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in

a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The

following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

•

Mount this unit at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the

bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

•

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers

before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
