• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Serial cable
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 7700/7800 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 ventila-
tion at the front, back, and sides of the switch. Refer to
“Mounting the Switch” on page 7 for minimum clearance
requirements. No clearance is necessary at the top or
bottom of the chassis.
Electrical Requirements
OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches have the following general
electrical requirements:
• Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for
each power supply installed in the chassis (up to three for
OS7700 switches; up to four for OS7800 switches).
OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches offer both AC and DC
power supply support. Refer to the Hardware Users Guide
for more information.
• For switches using AC power connections, each
supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approximately 6.5
feet) long. Do not use extension cords.
Redundant AC Power. If possible, it is recommended
that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With
redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supplies (on separate circuits) will likely be
unaffected and can therefore continue operating.
• For switches using DC power, refer to the Hardware
Users Guide for more information, including installation
guidelines.

Unpacking the Chassis
To protect your switch 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.
• Network Interface (NI) modules are packaged in sepa-
rate boxes. In order to greatly reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, do not
unpack these boxes until the NI modules are ready to
be installed.
Instructions
1 Begin by carefully cutting the tape along the seam
marked “OPEN HERE FIRST.”
2 Lift the box’s top flaps. Remove the smaller boxes that
are enclosed and set them aside. These smaller boxes
contain the Ship Kit and the switch’s Chassis Management Modules (CMMs).
• Documentation CD containing a complete set of users
guides for the switch and switch software. Refer to “User

the overpack straight up until it slides free from the rest of
the packaging. This allows easy access to the chassis.
5 Carefully remove the protective plastic from the switch
chassis.
6 In order to reduce the weight of the chassis, it is
recommended that you remove all factory-installed power
supplies prior to lifting it from the packaging. Steps 7
through 12 below provide instructions for removing power
supplies.
Note. Steps 7 through 12 apply to power supplies that are
newly-shipped in the switch chassis. They have no power
cords attached and the on/off switches are in the off ( O )
position. For instructions on removing power supplies that
are currently operating in an existing switch, refer to your
Hardware Users Guide.
7 Loosen the two captive screws, located at the top and
bottom of the power supply’s front panel. If necessary, use

Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of
the chassis.
Refer to the important guidelines below before installing the
OmniSwitch chassis in a rack.
• Rack-mounting the chassis requires three people—two
people to hold the chassis and position it in the rack and a
third person to secure the chassis to the rack using the
attachment screws.
• The chassis has two integral rack-mount flanges that
support standard 19” rack mount installations. Refer to
page 9 for information on optional rack-mounting hard-
ware.
• Alcatel does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the
screws supplied by the rack vendor.
• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recom-
mended that you install the switch at the bottom of the rack
whenever possible.
• If you are installing the switch in a relay rack, be sure to
install and secure the rack per the rack manufacturer’s
specifications.
• Refer to page 7 for important chassis airflow recom-
mendations before installing.
To rack-mount the switch, follow the steps below.
1 Mark the holes on the rack where the chassis is to be
installed.

Installing Power Supplies
The OmniSwitch 7700/7800 can be installed unmounted as a
standalone unit. Be sure that the installation location is a
stable, flat surface that can accommodate the fully-populated
weight of all switches being installed. One fully-populated
OmniSwitch 7700 weighs approximately 128 lbs (58 Kgs); a
fully-populated OmniSwitch 7800 weighs approximately 188
lbs (85 Kgs).
Note. OmniSwitch 7700/7800 switches must be installed
“right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch while it
is lying on its side.
To install the switch as a standalone unit, follow the steps
below:
1 Use two or more people to move and position the
unpopulated chassis upright on the floor or bench where it
is to be installed.
2 Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for
chassis airflow and that you have placed the chassis within
reach of all required electrical outlets. For recommended
airflow allowances, refer to page 7. For environmental and
electrical requirements, refer to page 4.
Next, reinstall the power supplies in the chassis power supply
bays by following the steps below.
1 First, be sure that you do not install the power supply
upside down. When orienting the power supply, note that
the on/off switch and power cord socket are located at the
bottom of the power supply and the fan is located at the
top of the power supply.
2 With one hand, grasp the handle at the front of the
power supply. Place your other hand under the power
supply casing to support its weight.

Installing the Network Interface (NI) and Chassis Management Modules (CMMs)
Once you are properly grounded, you may begin installing the
Network Interface (NI) and CMM(s).
NI Modules
NI modules may be installed in any slot position from
1 through 8 in OS7700 switches and 1 through 16 in OS7800
switches.
CMMs
CMMs may be installed in slots A or B in OS7700 and
OS7800 switches. A minimum of one CMM is required for
switch operations; the second CMM provides redundancy.
In non-redundant configurations, the CMM may be installed in
either slot A or B. In redundant configurations, the CMM
installed in slot A will be designated primary by default. For
more information on redundancy, refer to page 49 or, for
detailed information, refer to your Hardware Users Guide.
NI modules cannot be installed in CMM slots A or B; likewise, CMMs cannot be installed in any NI slot position.
Due to the differences in their physical dimensions, OS7700
and OS7800 CMMs are not interchangeable.
More Information on Slot Numbering. For a diagram
showing the chassis layout and slot positions, refer to
“Chassis Slot Numbering” on page 48.
To install an NI or CMM module, follow the steps below.
Note. To further reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and physical damage, do not remove more than one
module at a time from the factory packaging. Unpack one
module, immediately install the module in the chassis,
then repeat the sequence for another module.
Important. Before beginning, note that the CMM
modules and NI modules slide into the chassis card guides
differently. CMMs have a sheet metal tray that slides into
the guides; with NIs, the edges of the module’s printed
circuit slide into the guides.
1 Holding the module in both hands, carefully slide it
into the chassis card guide. The component side of the
board should face right.
