Deployment and Installation Guidelines

To ensure maximum uptime in the local environment, the SKYRS engineering team adheres to the following deployment standards:

Physical Installation:

• Rack Management: As a compact 1RU unit, it fits easily into standard 19-inch racks. SKYRS provides the required slider-rail kits to ensure secure mounting and easy maintenance access.

• Cabling Integrity: For the 48 copper ports, SKYRS recommends Category 6 or 6A cabling. For the 100G QSFP28 uplinks, we provide specialized Cisco QSFP-100G-SR4-S or Direct Attach Cables (DAC).

• Thermal Control: This unit generates heat typical of high-density ASICs. SKYRS recommends placement in climate-controlled aisles (18°C to 24°C) to prevent thermal shutdown during peak summer months in Pakistan.

Power Configuration:

• Dual PSUs: To protect against local power fluctuations, SKYRS always deploys these units with dual power supplies for 1+1 redundancy.

• ESD Protection: Mandatory use of the rear grounding lug to protect the sensitive Cloud Scale ASICs from static discharge during installation.
