Chapter 2: Unpacking
The following steps should be followed to unpack the SC6300 Series Chassis:
1.
Use either an ESD wrist strap, or ESD heel straps on a conductive floor surface, as you open
the packaging.
2.
Remove the SC6300 Series Chassis from its packaging and place it so the slots are oriented
horizontally and right side up.
The chassis houses the bladess that make up the total system. The chassis also provides
power and thermal management to the blades and supports the product's chassis
management architecture.
3.
Verify that you have the following components, either shipped with the chassis or delivered
separately
•
1 x Air filter.
•
2 x Fan Trays.
•
2 x Power Entry Modules (PEMs).
•
1 x ESD wrist strap.
•
1 x Front cable guide (option).
The power-feed and ground cables are required, but not supplied, since they are specific to
the site or to the configuration.
4.
Verify any additional ordered components are in the shipment. These can include:
•
Standard configurations include one or two SF6090 Switch Fabric Blades (SFBs). The
SFBs should already be installed in the chassis.
•
Rear slots will be completely populated with filler panels, except for those slots where
the included front blades have companion rear transition modules installed.
•
System configurations that do not have all the front slots populated must have active
blades or air management filler panels installed in them to maintain system airflow.
Additional air management filler panels can be ordered separately.
5.
Perform a thorough inspection of the entire system to confirm components are properly
installed, seated, and not loose. Pins, shrouds, mounting screws, and other items can
become loose or damaged during the course of handling, shipping, and assembly.
Operating a damaged system can harm the chassis and the devices that interface to it.
