Install Rack-Rails in a 19-inch Rack

The chassis requires L-shaped rack-rails (ordered separately) to first be installed in an 19-inch rack. Use the rack alignment templates to install rack-rails at the correct locations in the rack allowing for the height of the chassis (4RU). Three templates per rack post are required for the full rack height. It is recommended to use a total of 12 templates, three on each rack post. Note that the magnetic templates can be reused.

  1. Align the cable-management T-pin on the rails with the Minipack numbers on the templates. The Minipack numbers are color coded for each template position on a rack post; green (bottom), orange (middle), and blue (top).
    a. Using Screw-Type Rack-Rails
    1. Use two #12-24-16L rack screws to secure each rack-rail to the front post of the rack.
    2. Adjust the length of the rack-rails to reach the rear post of the rack and secure them with two #12-24-16L rack screws on each side.
    b. Using Tool-Less Rack-Rails
    1. Push the latch button to lock each rack-rail to the tront post of the rack. (Optionally use rack screws for added security.)
    2. Adjust the length of the rack-rails to reach the rear post of the rack and push the latch button to lock them to the post. (Optionally use #12-24-16L rack screws for added security.)
    c. Using Adapters for 29-inch-Deep Racks
    1. Use two #12-24-16L rack screws to secure each adapter to the rear post of the rack.
    2. Attach the rack rails to the rack adapters.

Mount the Chassis in the Rack

  1. Use the four lifting handles to place the chassis onto the installed L-shaped rack-rails in the rack.
  2. Slide the chassis fully into the rack until its front brackets are flush with the front rack posts.
  3. Use four #12-24-16L screws to secure the switch in the rack.

Install Rack Air Baffles

  1. Install rack air baffles between chassis units in the rack.
  2. Use two M4 screws (included with the baffle) to secure the air baffle to the front of the rack-rails.

Connect Power

  1. Install up to four universal AC power supply units (PSUs) in the chassis. (The whole chassis is capable of operating with only two installed PSUs; 3 or 4 PSUs provide redundancy.)

  2. PSUs can only be installed in one correct orientation. If a PSU does not install flush with the chassis, remove it and reinstall in the 180-degree opposite orientation.

  3. Connect an external AC power source to the PSUs. Connect the AC sockets on the PSUs to at least two separate AC power circuits for redundancy.

  4. Use the power cord retention clips to secure the power cord connections to the PSUs.

Verify System Power

  1. Verify system power by checking the LEDs on the chassis.
    When operating normally, the LEDs should all be on blue.

Connect Network Cables

  1. Connect a 100-ohm Category 5e (or better) twisted-pair cable to the 1OOOBASE-T RJ-45 Management port on the System Controller Module (SCM).

  2. Connect network cables to QSFP28 interfaces:
    • If you are connecting fiber optic cables, install QSFP28 fiber transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports.
    The following transceivers are supported:
    • CLR4 100G
    • LR4/LR4-lite 100G
    • CWDM4 100G
    • Open Optic 100G
    • If you are using twinax copper cables (DAC cables) for port connections, connect the QSFP28 transceivers on the end of the DAC cables directly into the QSFP28 slots.
    The QSFP28 ports can be configured as single-lane 100G mode, dual-lane 50G mode, single-lane 40G mode, four-lane 25G mode, or four-lane 10G mode. The following cable types are supported:
    • 100 GbE to QSFP28 100 GbE cable: 1 m, 2m, and 3 m
    • 100 GbE to 2xQSFP28 50 GbE split cable (Y-cable): 1 m, 2 m, and 3m
    • 100 GbE to 4xSFP28 25 GbE fanout cable: 1 m, 2 m, and 3m

  3. As connections are made, check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.
    Each QSFP28 port has one LED for all port configuration modes. When a port has a valid link, the LED turns on blue.

Removing/Installing SCM and PIM Modules

Removing a Module
Caution: Disconnect all network connections before removing a Port Interface Module (PIM) from the chassis.

  1. Use an ESD wrist strap and connect it to the ESD point on the chassis.
  2. Grasp the release lever handle and pull it down to release the lever latch from the module.
  3. Pull the release lever down to disengage the module from the chassis backplane.
  4. Slide the module out of the chassis.

Installing a Module

Caution: If an SCM or PIM module does not power on or its release lever not correctly latch into its closed position, remove the module and install again.

  1. With the module release lever fully open, slide the module into a chassis slot until it stops and can go no further.
  2. Slowly push the release lever up to engage the module with the chassis backplane. The module should immediately power on.
  3. Latch the release lever handle into its closed position.

Replacing Fan Trays

The switch system is shipped with eight fan trays installed. If a fan failure is detected, the defective fan tray should be replaced as soon as possible.

Note: Fan trays are hot-swappable, you do not need to power off the switch to replace a fan tray.

Caution: Do not leave a fan tray slot without an installed fan tray. Failed fan trays should be replaced as soon as possible.

  1. Press the release button on the handle of the fan tray.
  2. Pull firmly on the fan tray handle until the fan tray is free and then slide it out of the switch.
  3. Insert the replacement fan tray into the slot and slide it slowly into the chassis until it clicks into place. The LED should turn on and the fans immediately start to operate.

Replacing PSUs

The switch system supports up to four PSUs in the chassis. If a PSU fails and needs to be replaced, the system will to continue to operate with three PSUs installed. However, the PSU should be replaced within 10 minutes.
