NOTE: The Warning icon signals information about hardware handling that could result in injury. NOTE: The ESD Warning icon requires that you take electrostatic precautions when handling the device.
2 Site preparations The Z9432F-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 Z9432F-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 Technologies recommends grounding your switch. Use the Z9432F-ON switch in a CBN. For more information, see Ground cable. Fans and airflow Fan installation is done as part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the Z9432F-ON switch and its components on an anti-static surface.
3 Z9432F-ON switch installation To install the Z9432F-ON switch, complete the installation procedures in the order given. 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.
The ground cable is not included. To properly ground the switch, Dell Technologies recommends a one- or two-hole lug, M4 hole size. The grounding 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 antioxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny finish and coat with an antioxidant before mating.
Four-post ReadyRail installation Use these installation instructions for racks with M5 threaded holes, 9.5 mm (.354 in) square holes, or 7.1 mm (.279) round holes. Complete the switch installation in the following order: 1. Attach the inner rails to the switch. 2. Attach the outer rails to the four-post rack. 3. Slide the switch into the rack. NOTE: You need a user-supplied Phillips screwdriver to complete this installation. To install the switch: 1.
4. Confirm the rack mounting hole type and choose the correct components--EIA 9.5 mm (.354 in) square hole, EIA 7.1 mm (.279 in) round hole, or M5-threaded. For EIA 9.5 mm (.354 in) square hole racks (default setting for the outer rail): For EIA 7.1 mm (.279 in) round hold racks, press the latch to change from square pegs to round pegs.
For an M5-threaded mounting hole, change the die-cast parts on the outer rail to the fitting plates shipped with the rails. You must change the die-cast parts on both the front and rear side of the outer rail. 5. Attach the outer rail to the back of the four-post rack. Align the outer rail pegs to the back of the four-post rack and push towards the back to lock the outer rail to the rear post. The rail clicks into place. M5-threaded mounting rack OR 9.
OR EIA 7.1 mm (.279 in) round hole rack 6. Attach the outer rail to the front of the four-post rack. The rail clicks into place. 7. Repeat these steps for the second rail. 8. Slide the inner rails attached to the switch into the outer rails that are attached to the rails.
NOTE: Press the spring clip on each outer rail to allow the switch to slide into the outer rail. 9. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the switch to the rack.
To remove the switch, press the rail spring clip and pull the inner rail and switch out of the outer rail and rack. To remove the outer rails from the rack, press the blue plastic button on each outer rail.
Four-post L-bracket rail installation Use these installation instructions for racks with M5 threaded holes, 9.5 mm (.354 in) square holes, or 7.1 mm (.279) round holes. Complete the switch installation in the following order: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Attach the L-brackets to the front of the switch. Attach the inner rails to the switch. Attach the outer rails to the rear of the four-post rack. Slide the switch into the rack. Secure the L-brackets to the front of the four-post rack.
3. Separate the inner rail and the outer rail. 4. Attach the inner rail to the switch. Line up the slot on the inner rail with the T-stud on the switch. Push back to lock the rail into place. Secure the inner rail to the switch using two M4 screws.
Repeat this step to attach the second inner rail to the other side of the switch. 5. Attach the outer rail to the back of the four-post rack. Align the outer rail peg to the back of the four-post rack. Secure the outer rail to the back of the rack using two M4 screws for each rail. Repeat this step to attach the second outer rail to the other side of the rack. 6. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails.
7. Attach the L-brackets to the front of the four-post rack. Align the L-bracket holes to the holes at the front of the four-post rack. Secure the L-brackets to the front of the rack using two M4 screws for each side.
To remove the switch, remove the four screws from the L-brackets at the front of the rack and slide the switch forward. To remove the rack rails from the rack, first remove the switch from the rack. Then remove the four outer rails screws at the back of the rack. DC power connections Each DC PSU comes with one DC cable. The cable ships in a separate plastic bag. CAUTION: This product must be supplied by a DC power source rated -48 Vdc to -60 Vdc, 40 A minimum, and Tma = 45-degree C minimum.
1. Wiring block 2. DC cable 3. PSU socket 1. Strip a one-half inch section of insulation from each of the power connector wires. 2. Insert each of the bare wire power connector lengths into the wiring block. The blue wire is -48 V, the black wire is the positive return, and the yellow and green wire is the ground wire, 10 AWG minimum. 3. Use a user-supplied flat-head screwdriver to tighten the screws that secures the bare wires into the wiring block. 4.
6. Return the plastic cover back to the PSU socket. 7. Attach the yellow and green wire to the PSU GND. Secure the wire with the M5 screw. To uninstall the cable from the DC PSU, remove the plastic cover and unscrew the M4 and M5 screws. Pull the DC cable out from the DC PSU socket. Optics installation WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection.
Optics removal Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port. When uninstalling 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 power-on Supply power to the Z9432F-ON switch after you mount it in a rack or cabinet. Reinspect your switch before power-up.
