2 OmniSwitch 8800 March 2005

Installing the Hardware

Items Required

• Grounding wrist strap (included)

• Phillips screwdriver (not included)

• Flat-blade screwdriver (not included)

• Serial cable (not included)

Site Preparation

Environmental Requirements

OmniSwitch 8800 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 clear-

ance requirements. No clearance is necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.

Electrical Requirements

OmniSwitch 8800 switches have the following general electrical requirements:

• Each switch requires one grounded AC outlet for each

power supply (up to four) installed in the chassis. OmniSwitch 8800 switches offer both AC and DC power supply support. Refer to the OmniSwitch 8800 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.

Caution. In North America, OmniSwitch 8800 power supplies require 220 Volt power cords connected to 220 Volt power receptacles. Do not use 110 Volt power cords or receptacles.

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.

March 2005 Installing the Hardware 3

Weight Considerations

• Hardcopy OmniSwitch 8800 Getting Started Guide

4 Installing the Hardware March 2005

Unpacking and Installing the Switch

Unpacking the Chassis

Caution. Do not attempt to lift the chassis with the white plastic inserts.

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 and Chassis Manage-

ment Modules (CMMs) are packaged in separate boxes. In order to greatly reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage, do not unpack these boxes until the CMMs and NI modules are ready to be installed.

Chassis Removal 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.

3 Next, completely remove the four white plastic inserts

(two on the front and two on the back) from the sides of the box. Removing these inserts allows the overpack to be removed.

4 The overpack is the outer shell of the packaging. Lift

the overpack straight up until it slides free from the rest of the packaging. This allows easy access to the chassis.

5 Remove the two rack-mounting brackets for 19-inch

racks.

Note. See “Rack-Mounting” on page 8 for more informa- tion on installing the rack-mounting brackets.

6 Carefully remove the protective plastic from the switch

chassis.

7 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.

8 Continue to “Power Supply Removal Instructions” on

page 6.

Note. The subsection below applies 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 OmniSwitch 8800 Hardware Users Guide.

steps 1 through 5.

7 Continue to “Lifting the Chassis” on page 7.

6 Installing the Hardware March 2005

Lifting the Chassis

Mounting the Switch

Once its weight has been reduced by removing the power supplies, the chassis can be lifted from the packaging material and moved to the location where it is to be installed (see important note below).

Important. Two people are required when lifting the chassis. Due to its weight, lifting the chassis unassisted can cause personal injury.

Continue to the next section, “Mounting the Switch.”

Note. Due to their weight, access, and airflow require-

ments, OmniSwitch 8800 switches cannot be wall-

mounted.

Airflow Considerations

Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, staticfree environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the front and sides of the switch, as well as behind the switch’s fan unit (located at the top-rear of the chassis). The following topview diagram shows recommended minimum clearances for adequate airflow.

Rear. 6 inches minimum at rear of chassis fan

unit.

Sides. 2 inches minimum at left and right sides.

Front. 6 inches minimum at front of chassis.

}

Chassis Top View

March 2005 Installing the Hardware 7

Never obstruct the air intake vents located at the bottom-front and bottom-sides of the chassis or the fan unit’s air output vents located at the rear of the chassis.

Rack-Mounting

Refer to the important guidelines below before installing the OmniSwitch chassis in a rack.

Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of the chassis.

Module Access Considerations

If the switch will be mounted in rack that is immobile, make sure that you have adequate clearance to install and remove modules on the front and rear of the chassis. Please allow enough clearance to install and remove the front fan trays, which are approximately 15.8 inches long, are the longest modules on the front. And please allow enough clearance to remove the Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs) and power supplies, which are approximately 6 inches long.

• 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.

• 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

recommended 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 Using the rack-mounting brackets as a template, mark

the holes on the rack where the chassis is to be installed.

2 Attach one rack-mounting bracket to the front end of

the chassis using the Phillips-head screws that came with

the chassis. See the figure below for the positioning and

placement of these brackets and screws.

8 Installing the Hardware March 2005

6 Once the holes are aligned, use a third person to insert

a screw through the bottom hole on each bracket. Tighten

both screws until they are secure.

3 Attach the second bracket to the opposite front side of

the chassis using the remaining screws.

4 Using two people, lift and position the chassis until the

rack-mount brackets are flush with the rack post.

5 Align the holes in the brackets with the rack holes you

marked in step 1.

March 2005 Installing the Hardware 9

Note. Be sure to install the screws in the bottom hole of

each bracket, as shown, before proceeding.

7 Once the screws at the bottom of each bracket are

secure, install the remaining screws. Be sure that all

screws are securely tightened.

Stand-Alone

D E

Installing Power Supplies

The OmniSwitch 8800 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 8800 weighs approximately 220 lbs (100 Kgs).

Note. OmniSwitch 8800 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 stand-alone 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 AC outlets. For recommended airflow allowances, refer to page 7. For environmental and electrical requirements, refer to page 3.

Reinstall the power supplies in the chassis power supply bays by following the steps below.

1 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.

3 Carefully insert the rear of the casing into the power

supply bay and slide the power supply back until its

connector meets the chassis backplane connector.

Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and Chassis Grounding Lug

Because electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage switch components such as the Network Interface (NI) and Chassis Management Modules, you must ground yourself properly before continuing with the hardware installation.

For this purpose, Alcatel provides a grounding wrist strap and a grounding lug located near the bottom-right of the chassis. To properly ground yourself, follow the steps below.

1 Fasten the provided grounding strap to your wrist.

2 Insert the wrist strap’s connector pin (located at the end

of the strap’s tether) into the grounding lug near the bottom-right of the chassis, as shown.

Note. For OmniSwitch 8800 switches using DC power, the power cord connector snaps into the connector socket. A cable retainer is not used.

Important. Do not turn on the power supplies at this time.

Chassis Grounding Lug

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).

Note. See “Installing SFMs” on page 18 for information on installing SFMs.

NI Modules

NI modules may be installed in any slot position from 1 through 16 in OS8800 switches.

CMMs

CMMs may be installed in slots A or B in OS8800 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 52 or, for detailed information, refer to your OmniSwitch 8800 Hard- ware Users Guide.

Important. For the grounding wrist strap to be effective in eliminating ESD, the power supplies must be installed

NI modules cannot be installed in CMM slots A or B; likewise, CMMs cannot be installed in any NI slot position.

in the chassis and plugged into grounded AC outlets as described on page 10.

More Information on Slot Numbering. For a diagram showing the chassis layout and slot positions, refer to

“Chassis Slot Numbering” on page 50.

March 2005 Installing the Hardware 13

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.

Before beginning, note that the CMM modules and NI modules slide into the chassis card guides differently. With CMMs, the back of the module’s printed circuit board (which is wider than the front side) initially provides the glide path. When the printed circuit board narrows a sheet metal flange continues the remaining glide path. With NIs, the edges of the module’s printed circuit board slide into the guides.

To install an NI or CMM module, follow the steps below.

1 Holding the module in both hands, carefully slide it

into the chassis card guide. The component side of the board should face right.

2 The module should slide in easily. Do not force the

module into the slot. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the module is aligned properly in the card guide.

14 Installing the Hardware March 2005

Also, see the important note regarding chassis card guides on page 14.

3 When the module is nearly seated in the slot, be sure

that the two extractor levers—one on top of the module and one on the bottom—are slightly opened (approximately 30 degrees). This allows the notch on each extractor lever to grasp the rail on the chassis. Once the notches have grasped the rail, press both extractor levers simultaneously until the module is firmly seated.

4 Once the module is firmly seated, secure the module to

the chassis by tightening the two captive screws. Be sure not to overtighten the captive screws. If you use a screwdriver, the torque used to tighten the screws must not exceed 2.3 inch pounds.

5 Install all remaining modules by repeating steps 1

through 4 for each module.
