Preface
Structure of the Installation Guide
This guide has the following three sections:
Section I: Hardware Overview
The chapters in this section describe the hardware components of the
product, including the Ethernet line cards, AT-SBx81CFC960
Controller Fabric Card, and power supplies. You should start here if
you are unfamiliar with the switch. A basic understanding of the
hardware may help you avoid making mistakes during the installation
procedures.
Section II: Installing the Chassis
The chapters in this section contain the hardware installation
instructions for the device. They explain how to select a site, assemble
the hardware components, cable the ports, power on the unit, and
confirm the hardware operations of the various components. After
completing the instructions in this section, you may either begin to
configure the operating parameters and features of the chassis with
the commands in the command line interface of the AlliedW are Plus
operating systems, as described in the Software Reference for
SwitchBlade x8100 Series Switches, or proceed to Section III to build
a stack of two chassis with the VCStack Plus
™
™ feature.
Section III: Building a Stack with the VCStack Plus Feature
The chapters in this section describe the VCSt ack Plus feature and the
additional hardware and software components required to build a
stack. The section also contains step-by-step instructions on how to
configure the AlliedWare Plus operating systems on the switches for
the stacking feature. You should perform these instructions after you
have installed the two chassis of the st ack a t their respective sites and
confirmed their operations with the instructions in the chapters in
Section II of this guide. You might want to review the information in
Chapter 14, “VCStack Plus Overview” on page 269 prior to installing
the chassis to acquaint yourself with the feature and guidelines.

AT-SBx8106 Chassis
The AT-SBx8106 Chassis is a 4RU unit with slots for four Ethernet line
cards and two AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Cards, or five line cards and
one controller card. The chassis also has slots for two system power
supply modules and two PoE power supply modules. The chassis
components are identified in Figure 4 here and Figure 5 on page 25.

Do not remove the shipping brace from the front of the chassis until
after the unit is installed in the equipment rack. You might bend the
chassis and cause misalignment of the slots and card guides if you
lift the chassis into the equipment rack without the shipping brace.

Slots for the Ethernet Line and Controller Cards
The chassis has slots for four Ethernet line cards and two ATSBx81CFC960 Controller Cards, or five line cards and one controller card.
The slot definitions are predefined and may not be changed. Figure 7
identifies the slots.
Figure 7. Ethernet Line and Controller Cards Slots
Slots 1 to 4 are for the Ethernet line cards. The cards may be installed in
any order or variety in the slots.
Slot 5 is for the AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Card. The chassis
must have a controller card. The Ethernet line cards do not forward traffic
if the chassis does not have a controller card. The controller card stores
the management software and configuration settings for the Ethernet line
cards and controls the backplane in the chassis, which the line cards use
to forward network traffic to each other. The backplane has a bandwidth of
up to 80 Gbps for each line card slot when the chassis has one controller
card.
Slot 6 has a dual function. You may use it with an Ethernet line card to add
more ports to the chassis or a second controller card to add controller card
redundancy and to increase the bandwidth of the backplane. The chassis
has a backplane bandwidth of up to 160 Gbps for each line card slot
where there are two controllers cards.

The chassis has four power supply slots, labelled A to D, across the top of
the front of the chassis, as shown in Figure 8.
SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx81CFC960 Card Installation Guide
Figure 8. Power Supply Slots
Slots A and B are for the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply, shown in
Figure 2 on page 22. The power supply is used to provide power to the
PoE ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card. (These slots are not used if
the chassis does not have AT-SBx81GP24 Line Cards.) There are two
slots for AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supplies. You may install two
modules to increase the available PoE power for the powered devices or
to add power redundancy. For more information, refer to “Power over
Ethernet on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card” on page 56.
Slots C and D are for the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply, which powers
all the hardware components of the chassis, except for the PoE feature on
the ports of the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. The chassis must have at
least one AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply. One module can power a fully
populated chassis. However, you may install two power supplies to add
power redundancy to the chassis.
There are AC and DC versions of the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply.
Refer to Figure 2 on page 22 for illustrations of the modules.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not compatible with the
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply.
You should not operate the chassis with both AC and DC power
supplies. You may, however, operate the chassis for a short period
of time with AC and DC power supplies if you are converting it from
one type of power supply to another, such as from AC to DC. This
allows you to transition the chassis without having to power it off.
Section I: Hardware Overview27
Chapter 1: Chassis and Power Supplies
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply, shown in Figure 9, is the power
supply unit for the chassis. It supplies power to all the hardware
components in the chassis, except for the PoE feature on the ports on the
AT-SBx81GP24 Line Cards. The PoE feature is powered by the ATSBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply.
Figure 9. AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply
A single AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply can support a fully populated
chassis, with any combination of Ethernet line cards. The chassis can
have two AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supplies for power redundancy.
Power supply modules are not included with the chassis and must be
purchased separately.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supplies are installed in the two right hand
slots, labeled C and D, at the top of the front of the chassis. If you are
installing just one power supply, you may install it in either slot. The
locations of the slots are shown in Figure 6 on page 25.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply is hot swappable. If a chassis has
two power supplies and one of them fails, you may replace the failed unit
without having to power off the chassis.
LEDsThe LEDs on the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 are described in Table 1.

Chapter 1: Chassis and Power Supplies
AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply, shown in Figure 10, provides the
PoE power for the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Cards. You may
install either one or two PoE power supplies in the chassis.
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply provides 1200 watts of power for
PoE. You may install two power supplies in the chassis for a total of 2,400
watts of power.
The total number of powered devices the chassis can support depends on
the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the chassis and the
power requirements of the devices. For instance, a chassis can support 40
ports of Class 4, PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) powered devices with one power
supply or 80 ports with two power supplies. For further information, refer to
Table 15 on page 57.
Figure 10. AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply
Power supply modules are not included with the chassis and must be
purchased separately.
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies are installed in the two left hand
slots, labeled A and B, at the top of the front of the chassis. If you are
installing only one power supply, you may install it in either slot. The
locations of the slots are shown in Figure 6 on page 25.
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply is hot swappable. You do not have
to power off the chassis to install or remove the power supply.
LEDsThe LEDs on the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply are described in
Table 2 on page 31.
