GBIC module into an interface card, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the locking bar on the front of the IBM GBIC module is to the right side of the GBIC.
2. Insert the GBIC module until its connector is firmly seated into the appropriate port.
3. When firmly seated, lock the GBIC module in the slot by pushing the locking bar to the left side of the
GBIC. Do not force the locking bar; reseat if necessary.
To install a non-IBM GBIC module into an interface module, perform the following steps:

2. Press the GBIC module until its connector is firmly seated.
Installing the PowerVault™ 50F in a Rack
The switch has optional mounting hardware for installation in the Dell 19-inch rack. The mounting hardware
includes:
Two slide assemblies (each with an inner and outer race)
Two stationary brackets
Two adjustable brackets
Two L-brackets with captive screws
Ten 10-32 x 1/4-inch low-profile-head screws
Four 10-32 x 3/8-inch low-profile-head screws
Two 10-32 nuts with captive starwashers
Eight 10-32 x 1/2-inch screws
Eight tapered washers
One bezel with captive screws
One manifold
The following sections describe the tasks required to mount the PowerVault™ 50F Switch in a rack.
NOTE: If the switch has had its rubber mounting feet installed, they must be removed for a rack installation.
Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In a rackmount installation, follow these safety guidelines:
When installing a switch in a closed or multirack assembly, make certain the air temperature,
measured at the front panel, does not exceed 35°C during operation.
Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm.
Verify that the switch installation, both with the slides closed and fully extended, does not unbalance
the rack or exceed the rack's mechanical limits.
Verify that the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer to the switch's nameplate
for its power requirements.
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground connection. Do not rely on
connection to a branch circuit, such as power strips.
Route and support the power cord to ensure that the switch moves freely on its slides without crimping
or damaging the power cord or interfering with other equipment and cabling installed in the rack.
