CTI QUANTUM CABLING SOLUTION FOR BROCADE DCX AND DCX 4S CHASSIS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Document number CTI-QCS-BR revision 002-1-7-11 CTI (Connectivity Technologies Inc) is a subsidiary of Methode Electronics and is part of the Data Solutions Group. CTI has been a supplier/partner to Hitachi Data Systems for 10 years and is the primary supplier of Fibre Channel Cables for HDS globally, serving all HDS distribution centers. The following document is intended to be a guide for the installation of the Methode/CTI Quantum Cabling Solution, in association with the Brocade DCX and DCX 4S chassis, using the DCX FC8-64 high density blades that utilize the mSFP (mini-SFP) provided by Brocade. This document specifically references the Hitachi Data Systems” Solution Racks (A3BF-SOLUTION FOR EMEA and 7846450 for Americas/APAC) but the general instructions may be applied to any standard 19” rack assembly. READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION SHEET PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF THE QUANTUM CABLING SOLUTION. For assistance or questions regarding these instructions or any other Methode/CTI product please contact CTI directly at 888-446-9175 or go to the web site at www.methode.com/data. 1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE BROCADE DCX CHASSIS a. The DCX Chassis or the DCX 4S Chassis should be installed in the HDS 7846450 rack system per HDS standard practice leaving a minimum of 3 RU open immediately below the chassis for the installation of the Quantum Cabling Solution-Conversion Patch Panel (Part Number QS-100000000 figures 2 and 3). 2. INSTALLATION OF THE QUANTUM CABLING SOLUTION PATCH PANEL a. STEP 1 – Install the Quantum Cabling Solution Patch Panel 1 RU Adjustable Mounting Rail Kit (Part Number QS-000100000 Figure 1) below the DCX Chassis with the bottom of the rail at 2 RU below the Chassis, securing the rail kit to both front and rear rails. Utilize the mounting hardware supplied with the rail kit. Figure 1-1 RU Adjustable Mounting Rail Kit (Part Number QS-000100000)
b. STEP 2 – Install the Quantum Cabling Solution Patch Panel on the Adjustable Mounting Rail Kit with the front of the patch panel oriented with the front of the DCX chassis and secure to the front rack rails only. Utilize the hardware supplied with the patch panel. Figure 2-Quantum Conversion Patch Panel (Part Number QS-100000000) Front View

3. INSTALLATION OF THE QUANTUM CABLING SOLUTION MTP/mSFP-LC PRO-SLIDE HARNESSES (for DCX Chassis) a. STEP 1-select the appropriate harness part number for the 8 port grouping position to be cabled on DCX FC8-64 blade, (i.e. position 1, 2, 3 or 4. See figure 5 below.) NOTE: The Quantum Cabling Solution harness kits are 8 channel MTP to mSFP-LC harnesses. The harness kit part numbers and lengths are specific to the type blade, chassis and the 8 port grouping position on the blade that will be utilized. The harnesses are also number 1 to 8 on the LC connector boot to coincide with the fan out leg stagger length, i.e. shortest to longest. When used in association with the DCX Chassis, 4 harness part numbers are required to populate 1 side of the DCX FC8-64 high density blade. The same 4 part numbers are required to populate the other side of the DCX FC8-64 high density blade. Therefore, to fully populate a DCX FC8-64 high density blade, 2 each of the 4 harness part numbers are required. (See table below for part numbers and descriptions).

b. STEP 2- plug the mSFP-LC Pro-Slide connectors into the appropriate mSFP ports on the DCX FC8-64 high density blade. NOTE: The mSFP-LC Pro Slide connectors on the harnesses are numbered 1 to 8, shortest to longest for easy identification of the correct port in the 8 port grouping.(see Figure 7 &8). Figure 7
Figure 8
c. Step 3 – Pass the MTP connector end of the harness through the appropriate front to rear cable channel in the Quantum Conversion Patch Panel (see figure 9 & 10) to extend out of the back of the patch panel where it will plug into the MTP coupler plate (see figure 11 & 12). The MTP coupler plates are numbered to correspond with the port grouping in the DCX FC8-64 high density blade. (see figure 3). Once the coupler plate is filled with harness MTP connectors, snap into place on Quantum Conversion Patch Panel. Figure-9

NOTE: As each MTP/mSFP LC-Pro Slide harness is installed, dress the 8 legs of the harness neatly and organize with a small Velcro loop and secure to the front of the Quantum Cabling Conversion Patch Panel with the provided Velcro loops located above the appropriate front to rear cable channel in the patch panel (figure 13 & 14). Figure-13

4. INSTALLATION OF MTP Trunk Cables a. Step 1-Determine the type and length of trunk cable required through consultation with the customer and the selected cabling partner. Common option are listed in the table below (figure 15) Figure-15 CHANNEL COUNT 16, 24,32, 48 CHANNEL
CONNECTOR TYPE 1 MTP FEMALE MTP FEMALE MTP FEMALE
CONNECTOR TYPE 2 MTP FEMALE LC DUPLEX PRO-SLIDE LC MINI-PRO-SLIDE
TRUNK LENGTH XXXX FEET/METERS
NOTE: Additional trunk channel count and connector configurations are available upon request. b. Step 2-Dress and secure the trunk cable tales appropriately to the trunk cable strain relief bar (Part Number QS-000010000). Based on the type of cabinet being used and overhead or under-floor cable conveyance route the cable accordingly within the cabinet. When installing in the trunks in the HDS 7846450 use the Velcro cable ties that are provided with the rack to secure the trunk cables to the vertical rack rails. (see figure 16 and 17). Figure-16
Figure-17
NOTE: The trunks should always be secured to the horizontal MTP-Trunk Management Bar (Part Number QS 000010000) to ensure adequate strain relief for the MTP connectors.
Below is an example of a properly cabled and dressed DCX Chassis (see figure-18) Figure-18
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE BROCADE DCX 4S CHASSIS NOTE: STEPS 1 AND 2 ARE THE SAME FOR THE DCX AND THE DCX 4S CHASSIS 3. INSTALLATION OF THE QUANTUM CABLING SOLUTION MTP/mSFP-LC PRO-SLIDE HARNESSES (for DCX 4S Chassis) a. STEP 1-select the appropriate harness part number for the 8 port grouping position to be cabled on DCX FC8-64 blade, (i.e. position 1, 2, 3 or 4. See figure 19 below.) NOTE: The Quantum Cabling Solution harness kits are 8 channel MTP to mSFP-LC harnesses. The harness kit part numbers and lengths are specific to the type blade, chassis and the 8 port grouping position on the blade that will be utilized. The harnesses are also number 1 to 8 on the LC connector boot to coincide with the fan out leg stagger length, i.e. shortest to longest. When used in association with the DCX 4S Chassis, the quantities listed below will totally populate one DCX FC8-64 high density blade, mounted in the DCX 4S chassis. This same compliment of harnesses would be required to populate each successive 64 port blade. (See table below for part numbers and descriptions). Figure-19 TOP 2 BLADES QTY 2 2 2 2

b. Step 2-Beginning with the bottom right port in the bottom DCX FC8-64 high density blade, install the harness designated as HFRH4553044IFSP. Plug in the 8 mSFP-LC ProSlide connectors in sequence and then route the MTP tail of the trunk to the right and dress and secure to the Harness Management Bar (Part Number QS-000001000) and then to the rack rail on the HDS 7846450 rack, utilizing the Velcro cable strain relief loops provided. (see figure 20 below)

Figure-21
c. Step 3- Pass the MTP connector end of the harness through the appropriate front to rear cable channel in the Quantum Conversion Patch Panel (see figure 9 & 10) to extend out of the back of the patch panel where it will plug into the MTP coupler plate (see figure 11 & 12). The MTP coupler plates are numbered to correspond with the port grouping in the DCX FC8-64 high density blade. (see figure 3). For the DCX 4S chassis, the blade channel on the far right is designated for the bottom blade. The next blade channel to the left, in the Quantum Conversion Patch Panel, is designated for the second blade from the bottom. The 3rd blade channel from the right is for the 3rd blade from the bottom and the 4th blade channel is for the top blade in the DCX 4S chassis. Once the coupler plate is filled with harness MTP connectors, snap into place on Quantum Conversion Patch Panel.
NOTE: MTP Trunk installation in the same as for the DCX Chassis.
