2 Site preparations The Z9264F-ON switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies For more information about the Z9264F-ON switch specifications, see Specifications. NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Switch ground Dell EMC recommends grounding your switch. Use the Z9264F-ON switch in a CBN. For more information, see Ground lug assembly. Fans and airflow Fan installation is done as part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type.
3 Z9264F-ON switch installation To install the Z9264F-ON switch, complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this section. Always handle the switch and its components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or any field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components.
screws ship attached to the switch. Before you install the DC switch in the dual-tray, attach the ground lug and bracket to the switch using the included screws and then attach the DC ground wire to the ground lug. The switch includes two installed M4 screws on the lower-left side of your switch. The DC switch also includes an assembled UL-certified GND lug with bracket, which is packaged separately. The AC switch does not include the UL-certified GND lug.
7. Attach the GND lug bracket assembly to your switch using the two removed screws, as shown. Torque the M4 screws to ±8–10 in-lbs. Figure 4. Ground lug assembly attached 8. Attach the other end of the ground wire to your rack ground point. 9. Install your switch into your rack using the Z9264F-ON installation instructions. Four-post rack assembly Due to the chassis weight, the Z9264F-ON switch does not support a two-post rack installation; you must install the switch in a four-post rack.
● 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 fan panel facing in the downward position. Switch installation and removal 1. Align the system with the rails and slide the system into the rack. 2. Tighten the screws on each side of the systems’s front panel, items 1 and 2. 3.
Optics removal Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port. When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling the release tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab. Switch startup Supply power to the Z9264F-ON switch after you mount it in a rack or cabinet. Reinspect your switch before power on.
