Time and items required
You can set up and install the Brocade VDX 8770-4 in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface
• In a four-post rack using the VDX 8770-4 Four-Post Flush and Recessed Mount Intake Air Duct
Rack Kit. This kit is required for the 48x10G-T, 6x100 GbE, and 27x40 GbE and later line cards.
• In a four-post rack
• In a two-post telecommunications (Telco) rack
This chapter describes how to set up the Brocade VDX 8770-4 as a standalone unit. For rack mount
installation instructions, refer to the manual that comes with the separately ordered rack kit.
Table 3 describes the main installation and setup tasks, the estimated time required for each, and
the items required to complete the task based on a fully populated Brocade VDX 8770-4 (192 10
GbE ports). Configurations with fewer ports require less time. These time estimates assume a
prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
DANGER
Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
