Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade 6520 switch in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In an EIA rack using a four-post, fixed-position rack mount kit. The rack mount kit can be
ordered from your switch retailer.
• In a two-post Telco rack using the mid-mount rack kit for switches. The mid-mount rack kit for
switches can be ordered from your switch retailer.

ESD precautions
The Brocade 6520 contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive FRUs. When working with any
Brocade 6520 FRU, use correct ESD procedures.
• Attach ground to the indicated area on the chassis.
• Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the Brocade 6520 is plugged in)
or a bench ground.
• Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging.
Electrical considerations
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the compliance with the following
requirements:
• The primary outlets are correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating
on the switch nameplate.
• The power supply standards provided in Table 1 , “Power supply specifications” are met.
Power supply specifications
The power supplies are universal and capable of functioning worldwide without voltage jumpers or
switches. They meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements and are autoranging in terms of
accommodating input voltages and line frequencies. Each power supply has built-in fans for
cooling.
Table 1 lists the power supply specifications for the Brocade 6520.
