Deployment and Installation Guidelines

To ensure the Nexus 93180LC-EX operates at peak efficiency in the local climate, the SKYRS technical team utilizes the following deployment standards:

Physical Installation:

• Rack Mounting: This 1RU chassis requires specialized 4-post slider-rail kits provided by SKYRS to ensure secure mounting and airflow alignment.

• Breakout Configuration: When deploying 10G or 25G from the QSFP ports, SKYRS technicians ensure the use of high-quality MPO-to-LC or DAC breakout cables for signal integrity.

• Thermal Control: Given the high density of 100G ASICs, SKYRS recommends placement in climate-controlled aisles (18°C to 24°C) to prevent thermal throttling during peak summer months in Pakistan.

Power and Redundancy:

• Dual Power Feeds: SKYRS always populates both power supply slots to ensure hitless failover during local grid fluctuations.

• Grounding: Mandatory grounding via the rear dual-hole lug is required to protect the sensitive Cloud Scale ASICs from static discharge.
