System Overview
Chapter 2 Site Preparation This chapter describes requirements and procedures to install your S25N or S25V system, in the following topics: • • • • • • • Site Selection Cabinet Placement on page 16 Rack Mounting on page 16 Fans and Airflow on page 16 Power on page 17 Storing Components on page 18 Tools Required on page 18 For detailed system specifications, refer to Chapter 6, System Specifications, on page 41. Note: Install the system into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Cabinet Placement The cabinet must meet the following criteria: • • Minimum cabinet size and airflow are according to the EIA standard. Minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the side intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall. Rack Mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded to the same ground point used by the power service in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Power S25N The S25N comes standard with two 150W AC power supplies with auto-sensing 110/220V AC receptacles, each of which, when connected to a power source, is capable of supplying all required power to the switch. When both are connected to power sources, they act in load-sharing mode; see Figure 3 on page 10. Use the power cords shipped with the S25N to connect it to AC power outlets, ideally on separate circuits. Several versions of the power cord are available, based on country requirements.
Storing Components If you do not install your system and components immediately, Force10 Networks recommends that you properly store the system and all optional components until you are ready to install them. Follow these storage guidelines: • • • • Storage temperature should remain constant, in the range from -40° to 158° F (-40°C to 70° C).
Chapter 3 Installing the Switch To install S25N or S25V systems, Force10 Networks recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this chapter: • • • • • Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) Installing the System on a Tabletop on page 21 Installing the System in a Rack or Cabinet on page 21 Stacking on page 26 — Using FTOS Stacking Commands on page 26 — Connecting Stack Ports (optional) on page 27 Supplying Power on page 29 Warning: As with all electric
To install a module, follow the steps below: Step 1 Task If the system is on, save the running configuration, if desired (and different from the startup configuration) with the command write memory. Then power down the system by unplugging it from its power source. Caution: Hotswapping (inserting or removing) a module can crash and lock up the system, requiring a power cycle. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove either a module faceplate or an existing module.
Installing the System on a Tabletop The system can be positioned on a stable tabletop. Four rubber standoffs are provided for that purpose in the plastic bag in the switch shipping box. Keep the following in mind when using a tabletop: • • Ensure that your tabletop is stable and can handle the weight of the switch or a stack of switches, if that is the case, along with any added backup power supplies. Position the table for proper ventilation and easy access to separate power outlets for each device.
Four-Post Rack-mounting with Threaded Rails Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the cabinet or rack to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two S-Series units side-by-side, position the two units at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart to permit proper airflow. Follow the steps below to install a unit into a 4-post 19-inch equipment rack, using the attached front mounting brackets and the optional adjustable rear-mounting brackets.
Step 3 Task Set the adjustable rear mounting bracket to the length (one of three lengths) for your bracket. Secure the length with the four screws.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance surrounding the cabinet or rack to permit access and airflow. If you are installing two S-Series units side-by-side, position them at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart. Follow the steps below to install the unit into a four-post rack mounting with cage nuts. Step 1 Task Attach the two rear brackets to the side panels. Align the three holes in the bracket with the three holes on the unit, and secure the brackets to the unit using the screws.
Step 4 Task Position the cage nuts over the holes on each bracket flange and each rack post. Figure 10 Four-Post Rack-mounting with Cage Nuts AC Alarm XFP2 5 XFP2 6 STAC K ID DC 27 P28 S50-0 1-GE -24V fn00147d_s25N 5 Align the rack filler panel to the rear bracket and rack posts. Secure by inserting two screws into the hole in the filler panel through to the holes in the rack post.
Stacking You can add units to a stack, remove them, renumber them, or move them in the stack. The units can continue running in the stack as you add new units, but new units should be powered down during the connection. All units in a stack must run the same version of FTOS. If you attempt to attach a unit with a different FTOS version to an existing stack, the CLI will display an error, and the unit will not be added until you install identical software.
Connecting Stack Ports (optional) The switch contains two expansion slots in the rear, in either of which you can insert stacking modules for converting the switch into a virtual slot in a single virtual switch, called a stack (they all must be running the same software version). The switch provides two optional choices in stacking modules — a single-port 24G module and a two-port 12G module. You cannot interconnect the two types of module.
Connecting Two Switches Insert one end of the special stacking cable into a stack port, and insert the other end into a stack port of the adjacent switch. Optionally, insert a second cable into the other open stack port, as shown in Figure 14. The second cable provides both backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the units.
Supplying Power Supply power to the units in a stack only after they are mounted and the stack ports are connected. There is no on/off switch, and the stack members partly determine the stack management unit from the order in which they come on-line (see below). Danger: To prevent electrical shock, make sure the switch is grounded properly. If you do not ground your equipment correctly, excessive emissions can result.
Installing the Switch
Chapter 4 Installing Backup Power This chapter covers the following topics: • • • • • Backup Power Components The Power Connections on the Switch on page 32 Installing the Redundant DC Power Supply for the S25V on page 33 Inserting Tandem PSUs into a Rack on page 34 Connecting the DC-to-DC Cable on page 34 The S25N has two AC connections, with no external backup option. You can connect either one or both. When both are connected, they operate in load-sharing mode.
The Power Connections on the Switch The S25N contains two AC connections, while the S25V contains one AC and one DC. An AC cable is supplied with the switch for each connection (see Supplying Power on page 29). On both systems, you can connect one or both of the inputs to power. On the S25V, if both AC and DC connections are made and able to supply power, the switch will only utilize them in load-sharing mode.
Installing the Redundant DC Power Supply for the S25V The Redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU) for the S25V is a 470W AC/DC rectifier. It includes rack-mounting hardware, an AC cable, and a cable to connect to the DC power leads on the S25V. The power supply is oversized to support the Power over Internet (PoE) feature, too large to install in the S50 External Power Shelf (EPS). Instead, to install the PSU in a rack, complete the steps below for a single unit.
Inserting Tandem PSUs into a Rack To install two PSUs in tandem (side-by-side) in a rack, follow these steps: Step Task 1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, attach the supplied extended rack ears to the outside, front sides of the two PSUs. As shown in Figure 20, the long side of the rack ear is attached to the PSU, with the short side projecting at right angles away from the front corner of the PSU. 2.
Figure 21 DC-DC Cable for S25V PSU Follow the steps below to connect the S25V switch to the 470W PSU. Step 1. Task With the switch unplugged from AC power, connect the individual leads of the DC-to-DC cable to the DC terminal lugs of the switch (Figure 22), with a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Step 2. Task Insert the plastic plug of the DC-to-DC cable into the receptacle on the lower left side of the PSU (Figure 23). Note that one of the three leads on the plug has a trapezoidal key , which goes in the receptacle that is toward the center of the PSU. The key is not strong enough to resist being inserted in the opposite receptacle, and it is difficult to see, so you must take care to insert it correctly. To help you orient it, note that the top side of the plug has a knurled pattern.
Chapter 5 Installing Ports This chapter contains these major sections: • • • Accessing the Console Port on page 37 Connecting S25V Ethernet Ports with PoE on page 38 Installing Optics on page 39 Accessing the Console Port Connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the system to the RJ-45 cable.
Step 3 Task (Continued) Verify that your terminal’s settings match the default settings on the console port, as listed above. FTOS does not have the ability to enable you to set a higher speed on the console port. To make other console port configuration changes, such as setting the console port timeout or setting up access security, use the line console command in CONFIGURATION mode of the CLI.
Installing Optics The S25N and S25V each have four receptacles at the right end of their faceplates that accommodate 10/100/1000 SFP optical transceivers. On the back of the switches, there are two bays that accept either stacking modules or 10GbE modules (CX4 or XFP). A 10GbE module contains two ports. 10GbE modules should only be inserted or removed when the switch is powered down, as detailed in Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) on page 19 in Chapter 3, Installing the Switch.
Installing XFPs To install an XFP into one of the two ports in the optional 10GbE module (see Inserting Optional Modules (10-Gigabit or Stacking) on page 19) on the back of the switch, follow the procedure below: Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the system and its components. Warning: Do not look directly into any optical port.
