Switch Backplane |
The Switch 8800 backplane is part of the integrated chassis and delivers |
|||
|
high-speed data transfer between the Fabric and I/O modules. The backplane |
|||
|
bandwidth capacity is 1,440 Tbps. |
|
|
The backplane supports the following functions:
■Interconnection of signals between modules
■Communication channels
■Hot swapping for modules
■Auto-recognition of slots
■Distribution of power and management of the power supply for the system
6 CHAPTER 1: SWITCH 8800 COMPONENTS
Fabric Module |
The Fabric module (3C17508) is the core of Switch 8800 system. It has the |
|
following functions: |
|
■ Connects the I/O modules through a crossbar |
|
■ Manages and calculates routing table updates |
|
■ Performs software upgrade and system reset functions |
|
■ Monitors system power and the fan assembly |
|
■ Provides timing |

14 CHAPTER 1: SWITCH 8800 COMPONENTS
Power Supply |
The Switch 8800 power supplies are installed at the bottom of the chassis, in the |
|
front. Only one AC power supply is required for each Switch 8800 chassis, |
|
although 2 power supply slots are provided to implement 1+1 redundancy. |
|
The 7-slot chassis uses a 1200 W auto-ranging power supply (3C17506). |
|
The 10and 14-slot chassis use a 2000 W auto-ranging power supply (3C17507). |
|
When this power supply is used at 110 V, it delivers 1200 W of power, when used |
|
at 220 V, it delivers 2000 W of power. |
|
Do not combine 1200 W and 2000 W power supplies in the same chassis. If you |
|
have two power supplies in your Switch 8800 chassis, they must be of the same |
|
type. |
|
Figure 7 illustrates the 1200 W power supply for the Switch 8800. |

The North American 220 V power cord that is provided has a NEMA 6-20P 20A/250VAC style plug. The 220 VAC wall outlet needed for this plug is a NEMA 6-20R 20A/250V style outlet.
Fan Assembly |
The fan assembly consists of four to six individual fans and is located on the right |
|
side of the chassis. They operate on -48 V DC current. Each starter kit includes the |
|
appropriate fan assembly. Figure 8 illustrates the faceplate of the fan assembly for |
|
the 7-slot chassis. |

General Safety
Recommendations
This section provides guidelines for preparing your site and switch for installation.
Before installing your switch, note the following safety recommendations:
■Switch off the power supply before connecting the cables.
■Keep the switch away from heat sources.
■Do not keep the switch in a damp place, and prevent liquid from getting into the switch.
■Ensure that the neutral point of the power is grounded properly, to avoid personal injury.
■Ensure that the power is off before plugging or unplugging the modules and cables of the switch.
■Before moving the chassis, disconnect all the power cords and external cables.
■To avoid damage to the switch, connect all the cables correctly. Never connect telephone cables (including the ISDN lines) to the console or AUX port.
■During the installation, wear an antistatic wrist strap and antistatic gloves. See “Static Electricity” on page 21 for additional information on preventing static.
