Installation manual

2. Install the grounding cables to the ground nuts. The grounding cable must comply with your local

electrical codes in size and color (typically the color is green or green with yellow stripe).

NOTE: For proper ventilation, position the chassis in an equipment rack (or cabinet) with a

minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around exhaust vents. The acceptable ambient

temperature ranges are listed in the Environmental Parameters section.

Use M5 screws.

3. Tighten the screws (torque should be between 18 and 24 inch/lbs).

4. Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to the nearest appropriate facility grounding post.

Installing Fan Modules

The chassis requires five fan modules to be installed for normal configuration. The airflow direction must

be from I/O to Utility.

Important Points to Remember for Installing a Fan Module

• The Utility panel consists of five slots numbered from 0 to 4. Insert the fan modules in slots 0, 1, 2, 3,

and 4. Module slot 0 is on the left side of the chassis; module slot 4 is on the right side of the chassis.

• Fan modules are hot-swappable. If you remove a fan module during normal Z9500 operation, you

must insert a new fan module within three minutes.

• If a fan module fails, the system during normal operation continues to operate without a significant

degradation in cooling capacity for a TBD duration.
