Cisco MDS 9000 Series Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket
The optional Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit (part number DS-SHELF=) can temporarily or permanently
support the switch during installation. After the front rack-mount brackets are securely attached to the
rack-mounting rails, the shelf bracket can be removed.
The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket kit supports the following configurations:
• A two-post Telco rack
• A four-post EIA rack

Page 17: Installing A Fan Module
Caution The Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches have internal temperature sensors that can shut down the system if the temperature within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To accurately monitor the system temperature, the temperature sensors require sufficient airflow through the chassis. In the event that a fan module is removed from the chassis and the airflow is reduced, the system will bypass the temperature sensor information and shut down after five minutes to prevent undetected overheating. - Page 18 Installing the Cisco MDS 9148V-K9 Switch Removing a Fan Module Warning While removing the fan module, keep your hands and fingers away from the spinning fan blades. Let the fan blades completely stop before you remove the fan module. Statement 258...
