2 C9010 Hardware Description The C9010 switch is part of Dell Networking's next-generation LAN solution, providing a scalable switch that offers a path to higher density 10GbE and 40GbE capability. You can deploy the C9010 switch as an access or aggregation/core switch for installations in which a modular switch is preferred. For larger port requirements, you can also connect C1048P port extenders (PEs) as access devices.
• Unpacking the Switch • Before You Start: Site Preparation Unpacking the Switch The switch and its accessories ship in a single container. Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage. Verify that you have received your ordered items. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Dell Networking representative or reseller for assistance.
The base C9010 configuration package consists of: • One C9010 chassis • One full-width C9000 Series RPM • • C9000-RPM-2.56T displays in SW output. • 07KPC3 or 0N90RW is on the HW label. Three C9000 Series fan modules • • C9000-FAN displays in SW output. • 0C94MF is on the HW label. One AC PSU (110-230V switching) • C9000-PWR-AC displays in SW output. • D3000E-S0 is on the HW label.
• Cabling: Route the cabling to avoid sources of electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. If needed, allow 1 RU between devices to provide room for cabling. • Altitude: Altitude at the installation site is below 10,000 feet (3048 m).
3 Installing the Hardware To install the C9010 chassis and power up the switch: 1 Install the C9010 chassis in a 2- or 4-post rack using the rack bar and mounting brackets shipped with the chassis, or use an optional rack mount tray or Dell ReadyRails kit. 2 Secure the chassis ground. 3 Install the fan modules. 4 Install RPMs and line cards. 5 Install the power supplies and power cables. 6 Install the cable management system. 7 Install the QSFP+ and SFP+ optics.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack. • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
4 Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the bracket screws (item 1 in Figure 3) and unscrew the thumb screws to remove the bracket (item 2 in Figure 3) attached to each chassis flange. Figure 3.
5 Use an equipment lift or two people to lift the empty chassis without blanks (item 1 in Figure 4) and align the rack-mount screw holes on each flange of the chassis with the holes in the equipment rack. Rest the chassis on top of the rack bar (or rack tray, if installed). Slide the chassis so that the holes in the side flanges align with the holes in the rack posts. Tighten four rack screws (item 2 in Figure 4) on each chassis flange to attach the chassis to the rack posts.
6 Verify that the chassis is securely installed in the two rack posts and does not sag. To prevent sagging, support the back of the chassis by using a rack mount shelf or Dell ReadyRails as described in Step 3. Figure 5. Chassis Installed in a 2-Post Rack NOTE: To allow for increased airflow, you can remove the rack bar from the front posts.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack. • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
3 Install the rack bar on the front posts just below the desired height of the bottom of the chassis. The rack bar requires 1 RU below the chassis. Use the rack bar as a guide to mount the chassis. It is not required to support the weight of the chassis; you can remove it when the chassis is securely mounted in the rack. To install the rack bar, first insert two cage nuts (item 2 in Figure 6) into each post at the desired height.
4 To install the chassis, first insert four cage nuts into the front rack posts at the same height as the thumb screws on each chassis flange. On each post, install the lower cage nut in the top post hole 3 RUs above the rack bar; install the upper cage nut in the bottom post hole 5 RUs above the lower cage nut (8 RUs above the rack bar). See Figure 7. Figure 7.
5 Use two people or an equipment lift to align the chassis rack-mount holes with the cage nuts in the front posts (items 1 and 2 in Figure 8). Rest the chassis on top of the rack bar (or rack tray or ReadyRails, if installed). Figure 8.
6 Lift and slide the chassis so that the holes on the chassis flanges touch the holes in the rack posts with cage nuts. Use the rack bar (item 1 in Figure 9) as a guide. First tighten the bottom thumb screw on each flange; then tighten the top thumb screw. Figure 9. Chassis Installed in a 4-Post Rack NOTE: To allow for increased airflow, you can remove the rack bar from the front posts.

a Remove the front and rear parts of the left 4-post rail from the Dell ReadyRails kit and slide the parts together. (The front and rear parts of a rail may arrive pre-assembled.) b Install a cage nut (item 2 in Figure 11) in the left front post at the desired height of the thumb screw on the left front rail. c Install a cage nut in the left rear post at the same height as the cage nut in the left front post. d Position the left rail so that the rail end labeled FRONT faces inward.
2 Attaching the Chassis Rails • Remove the two chassis rails from the Dell ReadyRails kit. • Align the holes on the right and left chassis rails with the mounting studs at the bottom of each side of the chassis (orange arrows and item 1 in Figure 12). • Press each chassis rail over the studs and slide it backwards (towards the back of the chassis) so that it snaps securely into place (blue arrows and item 2 in Figure 12). Figure 12.
3 Attaching the Spacers Place each spacer (item 2 in Figure 13) over the four pins at the back of each chassis flange. Then slide each spacer down so that it locks into place and is flush with the flange. Figure 13.
4 Installing the Chassis in the ReadyRails Install two cage nuts (item 2 in Figure 14) in each front post at the desired height of the two thumb screws on each flange. Lift the chassis and slide it into the rails installed in the rack. Tighten the thumb screws in the cage nuts to secure the chassis to the rack. Figure 14.
2 Using a flat-tipped screwdriver, remove the bracket subassembly and four pins (items 1 and 2 in Figure 15) from the front and rear of each rail. Pull on each subassembly to fully remove it. Figure 15. Installing Tooled Rails in a Threaded-Hole Rack 3 Attach the front of each rail to the front rack posts using the screws provided with the rack. On a 4-post rack, slide the back end of each rail (item 3 in Figure 15) so that it aligns with the back post holes at the same height.
4 Lift the chassis and slide it into the rails installed in the rack (Figure 16). Tighten the two thumb screws and four rack screws (item 5 in Figure 16) on each flange to secure the chassis to the rack. On a 2-post rack, slide each rail bracket (item 4 in Figure 16) forward to the post. Tighten the two screws (item 3 in Figure 16) to secure the bracket to each post. Figure 16.
To install a rack mount tray in a rack, follow the instructions provided with the tray kit. Decide where you want to mount the switch in the rack. Position the tray at that height and tighten it to the rack posts using the screws shipped with the tray (items 1 to 4 in Figure 17). Figure 17.
2 Attach a grounding cable to the chassis lug by inserting a 6-gauge cable (item 1 in Figure 18). Using a hand-crimping tool (Tyco Electronics 58433-3 or equivalent), crimp the lug (item 2 in Figure 18) so that the cable is held securely. Figure 18. Grounding the Chassis 3 Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to the nearest grounding post at your site. Installing a Fan Module The C9010 switch requires three fan modules for normal operation.
1 Slide the first fan module into fan slot 0 by pushing the handle (item 1 in Figure 19) forward into the uppermost fan slot (item 2 in Figure 19). 2 Gently push the front of the module until it clicks into place. The fan module should be flush with the chassis. 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the second and third fan modules in fan slots 1 and 2. 4 To remove a fan module, press the orange button on the handle and pull out the module. Figure 19.
Installing an RPM Install the fan modules before you install RPMs in a C9010 switch. Figure 20.
1 Open the left and right ejector levers (item 1 in Figure 21) on an RPM by pressing in the orange tab (item 2 in Figure 21) and rotating it to the right so that both levers snap into the open position. Figure 21. Extending the RPM Ejector Levers 2 Hold the card assembly by the metal carrier edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.
3 The arrow in slot 10 (item 2 in Figure 22; labelled R0 on the chassis) identifies the slot in which you insert the first RPM. Align the card with the guide and gently slide it into the slot by holding the two ejector levers in the fully open position and pushing the card forward. You should feel the backplane connectors on the RPM engage with the chassis backplane. Figure 22.
• C9010 line cards are hot-swappable. The C9010 supports high availability. • Do not press on the port connectors when you install a line card. Figure 23 shows the types of line cards supported in a C9010. Figure 23. Example of Line Cards Supported in the C9010 1 On a full-width line card, open the left and right ejector levers by pressing the orange thumb tabs. The two ejectors levers spring open.
WARNING: Use only an AC IEC 60320 C19 power cord with the AC power supply. Do not supply power to your system until you install the power supplies, fan modules, RPMs, and line cards. WARNING: The C9010 relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Dell Networking recommends using a fuse or circuit breaker of 120 VAC, 20 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A international) for AC input on each power supply to ensure its maximum power capacity.
Installing the Cable Management System To organize network cables and minimize the obstruction from cables when you insert, remove, and view chassis components, you can install a cable management system on the front of the chassis. Using the cable management system, you can attach the maximum number of cables in C9010 line card ports.
The cable management system consists of two brackets (items 1 and 2 in Figure 25) and is shipped as part of the C9010 base configuration. The two brackets are identical. Install them on the right and left chassis flanges. Figure 25. Cable Management System NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that you install the cable management system after you install the chassis in a rack and all of the chassis components in the chassis.
To install the cable management system, mount both brackets on the right and left sides of the chassis: 1 Align the openings on the inside of a bracket with the pins (item 1 in Figure 26) and thumb screws on each chassis flange. Figure 26. Installing Cable Management Brackets on the Chassis Flanges 2 Press the bracket forward so that the bracket holes cover the pins and thumb screws on the flanges (item 1 in Figure 27). The bracket locks in place as you press it forward.
Figure 27. Cable Management Brackets Installed on Chassis 3 To open part of a cable bracket, pull one of the latches forward so that it swings down. 4 To remove a cable bracket, push up the blue button located in the center of a bracket to release it. When you cable C9010 ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the ventilation holes on the right and left sides of the chassis. Do not remove the cable management brackets with installed cables.
CAUTION: ESD damage can occur if the components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the switch and its components. 1 Position the transceiver correctly over a port. The transceiver has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly. 2 Insert the transceiver into the port until it gently snaps into place. Powering Up the System Before you supply power to the chassis, Dell Networking recommends that you re-inspect your equipment rack and chassis.
After you supply power to the system, the fans operate at medium speed. The green (online) fan module, RPM, and line card LEDs are lit and remain lit as long as the system is receiving power and is operational. When you turn on power supplies and supply power to the chassis, the system performs a series of power-on self-tests (POSTs). RPM and line card LEDs blink as the diagnostic programs run. No user interaction is required. You can observe the process on your console terminal.
