Installing the Hardware
Items Required
In addition to the materials and components provided in the OmniSwitch 6800 Series shipment, you must provide the following items in order to complete this installation:
•Grounding wrist strap
•Phillips screwdriver
•Serial cable
•Rack mount screws, if applicable
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:
•The installation site must maintain a temperature between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 122° Fahrenheit) and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (noncondensing) at any time.
•Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation and access at the front, back, and sides of the switch. No clearance is necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis. Refer to page 5 for minimum clearance requirements.
Electrical Requirements
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following general electrical requirements:
•Each switch requires one grounded AC power source.
•Grounded AC power source must be 110V for North American installations (220V international).
•Each supplied AC power cord is approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.
Weight Considerations
A single OS6800 weighs approximately 14 lbs. (6.30 Kg). A stack of eight OS6800 switches weighs approximately 111 lbs (50.4 Kgs).

Installing the Hardware 3 |
Items Included
Your OmniSwitch 6800 Series switch order includes the following items:
•OmniSwitch chassis
•Rack mount flanges with attachment screws (rack mount flanges may be pre-installed on some orders)
•Power cord (country-specific)
•Documentation CD containing a complete set of user guides for the switch and switch software. Refer to “Related Documentation” on page 2 for a complete list of included documentation.
Depending on the items ordered for your specific network requirements, the following optional items may also be included:
•Stacking cables (per order)
•SFPs (per order)
•10 Gigabit XFP connectors (per order)
•Backup power supply components and cables (per order)
Unpacking and Initial Setup
Unpacking the Chassis
To protect your OmniSwitch chassis and hardware components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions carefully before beginning.
Recommendations
•Unpack your OmniSwitch chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed.
•Depending on your order, Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs), stacking cables, and backup power supply components may be packaged separately. In order to greatly reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, do not unpack these items until they are ready to be installed.
Instructions
1Carefully cut the tape along the seam at the top of the box containing the chassis.
2Lift the box’s top flaps. Remove any smaller boxes or pouches that are enclosed and set them aside.
3Lift the chassis out of the packaging.
4Carefully remove any foam pads and protective plastic from the switch chassis.
4 Installing the Hardware |
June 2007 |
Note. Alcatel-Lucent provides factory-installed blank cover plates for empty backup power supply or 10 Gigabit expansion module bays. Do not remove these cover plates unless a backup power supply or expansion module is to be installed immediately at the corresponding bay.
5If you are installing multiple switches in a stacked configuration, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining switches that will make up the stack.
6Once all OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have been removed from their packaging, continue to “Setting Up the Switch.”
Setting Up the Switch
Note. Due to their airflow and access requirements, OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches cannot be wallmounted.
Airflow Considerations
Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, staticfree environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the front, rear, and sides of the switch.
The following diagram shows recommended minimum clearances for adequate chassis airflow and access to components at the rear of the chassis:
Rear. 5 inches minimum at rear of chassis.
Sides. 2 inches minimum at left and right sides for chassis airflow.
Front. 6 inches minimum at front of chassis for cable access and LED visibility.

Installing the Hardware 5 |
Never obstruct the air vents located at the left and right sides of the chassis.
Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis. For detailed chassis airflow diagrams, refer to the OmniSwitch 6800 Series Hardware Users Guide.
Installation Options
There are two ways in which the OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can be installed:
•Tabletop installation
•Rack-mount installation
For information on setting up a switch as a tabletop unit, refer to “Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench.” For information on rack-mounting the switch, refer to “Rack-Mounting the Switch” on page 7.
Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can be installed freestanding as tabletop units. Place your switch in a stable, flat, staticfree surface.
Note. OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches must be placed “right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch positioned on its side.
Tabletop Mounting Steps
To install the switch as a tabletop unit, follow the steps below:
1Position the chassis on the table or bench where it is to be installed.
2Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to page 5. Also, be sure that you have placed the chassis within reach of all required AC power sources.
If you are placing multiple switches in a stacked configuration, carefully stack the remaining switches, one on top of the other. Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis. Be sure to maintain adequate clearance at the front, rear, left, and right side of all switches (see page 5). Also, be sure that you have placed all switches in the stack within reach of required AC power sources.
Note. If you are installing a single (i.e., standalone) switch, continue to “Connections and Cabling” on page 10 for additional setup procedures.
