Slots 0 to 3 are for Ethernet line cards. The cards may be installed in any
order or variety in the slots.
Slot 4 is for the AT-SBx31CFC Central Fabric Controller card. The chassis
must have at least one controller card.
Slot 5 may be used with either an Ethernet line card or a second controller
card. A second controller card adds management redundancy and
increases the available traffic bandwidth of the chassis.
Power Supply
The chassis has four power supply slots, labelled A to D, across the top of
Slots
the front panel of the chassis, as shown in Figure 10.
The two right hand slots are for the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply,
which supplies power to the Ethernet line cards, controller cards, and fan
module. The only chassis component not powered by the module is the
PoE feature on the twisted pair ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line
Card.
Figure 10. Power Supply Slots
There are AC and DC versions of the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 21 for illustrations of the modules.
25
Chapter 1: Overview
Note
A single AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply has enough power to support a
fully populated chassis. However, you may install two power supplies to
add power redundancy to the chassis.
The two left hand slots are for the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply. This
unit provides PoE for the ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card. (It
should be noted that the line card also needs the AT-SBxPWRSYS1
Power Supply to operate its switching functions.) You may install two ATSBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the chassis to increase the amount of
available PoE power or to add PoE redundancy.
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.

Chapter 1: Overview
Note
The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card does not support 10 or 100 Mbps
transceivers.
The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has twenty slots for standard SFP or
CSFP transceivers, and supports twenty or forty networking ports,
depending on the types of transceivers. The line card has twenty ports
when the slots have standard SFP transceivers, because each SFP
transceiver functions as one port. In contrast, the line card has forty ports
when the twenty slots have CSFP transceivers, because the two fiber
connectors on a CSFP transceiver function as independent, bidirectional
networking ports that can be connected to different network devices.
You do not have to install the same type of transceiver in all twenty slots in
the line card. You may install a combination of SFP and CSFP
transceivers.

10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
This section applies to the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the ATSBx31GT24, AT-SBx31GT40, and AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Ethernet Line
Cards.
Connector Type The ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards have 8-
pin RJ-45 connectors. The ports on the AT-SBx31GT40 Line Card have 8pin RJ point 5 connectors.The ports use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps and
all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. The pin assignments are listed in “Port
Pinouts” on page 258.
Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the SwitchBlade x3106 Management Software.
Twisted-pair ports have to be set to Auto -negotiation to operate at
1000 Mbps. You cannot manually set twisted-pair ports to 1000
Mbps.
Duplex Mode The twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line
Cards can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Ports operating at 1000 Mbps can only operate in full-duplex mode. The
twisted-pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto-Negotiate the
duplex mode setting.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the ports and set the duplex mode
manually.
Switch ports that are connected to 10 or 100 Mbps end nodes that
are not using Auto-Negotiation should not use Auto-Negotiation to
set their speed and duplex mode settings, because duplex mode

The 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GT24, ATSBx31GT40, and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards are IEEE 802.3ab compliant
and feature automatic MDIX detection when operating at 10 or 100 Mbps.
(Automatic MDIX detection does not apply to 1000 Mbps.) This feature
automatically configures the ports to MDI or MDI-X depending on the
wiring configurations of the end nodes.
You may not disable automatic MDIX detection on the ports. For automatic
MDIX detection to work properly, it must also be present on the network
devices. Ports connected to network devices that do not support automatic
MDIX detection default to MDIX.
Here are the guidelines to using straight-through or crossover cables to
connect network devices to the line cards:
You may use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that operate at 1000 Mbps.

Power over Ethernet on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card
The twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card support
Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism by which the ports
supply power to network devices over the twisted pair cables that carry the
network traffic. This feature can simplify network installation and
maintenance because it allows you to use the switch as a central power
source for other network devices.
Devices that receive their power over Ethernet cables are called powered
devices (PD), examples of which include wireless access points, IP
telephones, web cams, and even other Ethernet switches. A PD
connected to a port on the switch receives both network traffic and power
over the same twisted-pair cable.
The AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card automatically determines whether a device
connected to a port is a PD. A PD has a signature resistor or signature
capacitor that the line card can detect over the Ethernet cabling. If the
resistor or capacitor is present, the switch assumes that the device is a
PD.
Powered Device
Classes
A port connected to a network node that is not a PD (that is, a device that
receives its power from another power source) functions as a regular
Ethernet port, without PoE. The PoE feature remains enabled on the port
but no power is delivered to the device.
The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define five powered device
classes. The classes are defined by the power requirements of the
powered devices. The classes are shown in Table 3. The AT-SBx31GP24
Line Card supports all five classes.

Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Note
Power Budgeting The power for PoE on the ports of the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards is
provided by the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply, which can provide up
to 1200 watts of power. You may install up to two power supplies in the
chassis for a total of 2400 watts for the powered devices.
The number of powered devices the chassis can support at one time
depends on the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the
chassis and the power requirements of the powered devices in your
network. Table 4 lists the maximum number of powered devices by class,
for one or two power supplies. The numbers assume that the powered
devices require the maximum amount of power for their classes.
The maximum number of PoE ports in the SwitchBlade x3106
Switch is 120 ports.

PoE Wiring The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define two methods for
delivering power to powered devices over the four pairs of strands that
comprise a standard Ethernet twisted-pair cable. The methods are called
Alternatives A and B. In Alternative A, power is supplied to powered
devices on strands 1, 2, 3, and 6, which are the same strands that carry
the 10/100Base-TX network traffic. In Alternative B, power is delivered on
strands 4, 5, 7, and 8. These are the unused strands.
1000BASE-T cables carry the network traffic on all eight strands of
the Ethernet cable.
The PoE implementation on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card is Alternative
A, in which power is transmitted over strands 1, 2, 3, and 6.
40
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide
PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards typically
support both power delivery methods. However, some legacy PDs support
only one power delivery method. Legacy devices are nodes manufactured
before the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards were completed and,
consequently, may not adhere to the standards. Legacy devices that only
support Alternative B will not work with the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line
Card.

Port Numbers on the AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card
The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has two port numbers for each transceiver
slot. The numbers are displayed on the front panel alongside and above
the slots in the top row and alongside and below the slots in the bottom
row. For instance, the first transceiver slot in the top row has the port
numbers 0 and 2 and the slot beneath it has the port numbers 1 and 3.
(The port numbers 2 and 4 are omitted from the first two slots in the top
row on the faceplate to allow for the model name.)
A transceiver uses either one or both port numbers of a slot, depending on
whether its a SFP or an CSFP transceiver. A CSFP transceiver is
assigned two port numbers because its two fiber optic connectors function
as independent network connections. You may use the two port numbers
of a transceiver to configure the ports independently. The left-hand fiber
connector is assigned the lower number of a slot and the right-hand
connector is given the higher port number. For example, the left-hand fiber
connector of an CSFP transceiver in the first top slot is assigned the port
number 0 and the right-hand connector is given the port number 2.
Figure 18 illustrates the port numbers for the first two slots when they
contain CSFP transceivers.
Figure 18. Port Numbers for Slots with CSFP Transceivers
In contrast, the two connectors on an SFP transceiver function as a single
port, not as individual ports. Consequently, the switch assigns that type of
module one port number instead of two.
42
The port number of an SFP module depends on whether the module is
installed in a slot in the top or bottom row of the line card. An SFP module
in a slot in the top row is assigned the lower of the two port numbers of a
slot. For example, the port number of an SFP module installed in the first
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide
Port 0 Port 4
Port 3 Port 7
slot in the top row is port number 0 because it is the lower of the two port
numbers of the slot. To configure the transceiver, you have to specify port
0 in the management software. The switch marks the unused port number
of the slot, in this case port number 2, as masked or eclipsed to prevent
you from using it to manage the transceiver.
In contrast, an SFP module in a slot in the bottom row is assigned the
higher number of the slot’s two numbers. For instance, an SFP transceiver
installed in the first slot in the bottom row is assigned the port number 3 by
the switch. Port 1, the unused port number of the slot, is marked as
masked by the switch and cannot be used to configure the device.
Figure 19 illustrates the port numbers for the first four slots when they
contain standard SFP transceivers.

The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has two LEDs for each slot. The LEDS,
which display link and activity information, are located between the slots,
in sets of four. The first and third LEDs of each set are for the bottom slot
and the second and fourth LEDs are for the top slot, as shown in
Figure 25.
Figure 25. LEDs for the AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card
When a slot contains a CSFP transceiver, both slot LEDS are active. Each
LED displays link and activity status information for its respective BiDi
connector on a transceiver. As an example, if the first top and bottom slots
of the line card contain CSFP transceivers, the first LED between the slots
displays link and activity status for port 1, which is the left-hand fiber
connector on the bottom transceiver. The second LED displays the same
information for port 0, the left-hand fiber connector on the top transceiver.
The third and fourth LEDs display the same information for ports 3 and 2,
the right-hand connectors on the bottom and top transceivers,
respectively. See Figure 26.

AT-SBx31CFC Central Fabric Controller Card
The AT-SBx31CFC Central Fabric Controller card has three primary
functions:
Chassis Management — The controller card is used to monitor
and configure the Ethernet line cards in the chassis. You may
manage the chassis locally through the Console RS-232 port on
the controller card or remotely using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH),
and SNMP clients from workstations on your network.
Configuration Settings — The controller card stores the
configuration settings of the Ethernet line cards and downloads the
settings to the cards when the chassis is powered on or new line
cards are installed. The settings are stored in a database file in
nonvolatile memory so that they are retained even when the
chassis is reset or powered off.
Backplane Control — The controller card manages the backplane
of the chassis. The backplane is used by line cards to forward
traffic to each other, which occurs when the ingress and egress
ports of packets are located on different cards.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide
The amount of backplane bandwidth depends on the number of
controller cards in the chassis. If the chassis has only one
controller card and the card is installed in slot 4, line card slots 0 to
3 each have 20 Gbps of backplane bandwidth, while slot 5 has 40
Gbps, making that slot a good choice for a high speed uplink card,
such as the AT-SBx31XZ4 XFP Line Card. If the chassis has two
controller cards, line card slots 0 to 3 each have 40 Gbps of
backplane bandwidth.
Here are the guidelines for the controller card:
The chassis must have at least one controller card. The line cards
do not forward traffic without a controller card in the chassis.
The chassis may have either one or two controller cards.
Two controller cards are recommended for redundancy and to
increase the backplane bandwidth for the Ethernet line cards.
The controller cards must be installed in slots 4 and 5. If you are
installing only one controller card, Allied Telesis recommends
installing it in slot 4 so that you can use slot 5 for an additional
Ethernet line card.
Here are other features of the controller card:
LEDs for monitoring the status of the Ethernet line cards.
Power-saving eco-friendly button for turning the port and status
LEDs on and off on the line cards and controller cards.

This LED state can result from the following
conditions:
The slot is empty.
The LEDs are turned off. To turn on
the LEDs, use the eco-friendly
button.
LEDs 6 to 11 are not used and are always
off.
You use the eco-friendly button on the controller card to turn the LEDs on
or off and test the LEDs. You may turn off the LEDs when you are not
using them to monitor the control and Ethernet line cards, to conserve
electricity. When the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the
chassis is slightly reduced, approximately 3 watts in a system with 240
active copper ports.
The button controls all the port LEDs on the Ethernet line cards and the
LEDs on the controller card, except for the M/S (Master/Slave) LED, which
is always on. The button does not control the LEDs on the fan module and
the power supply systems.

The eco-friendly button is also used to test the LEDs. The LEDs perform a
lamp test, flashing in alternating colors for three seconds, when you press
the button.
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide
Caution
Note
Reset Button You may use the Reset button to reset either the controller card or all the
cards in the chassis. The action depends on the number of AT-SBx31CFC
Central Fabric Controller cards in the chassis and, if the chassis has two
controller cards, whether you press the button on the active or inactive
master card.
The possible actions are described here:
If the chassis has only one controller card, pressing the Reset
button resets the controller card and all the Ethernet line cards in
the chassis. You may perform this function if the chassis and line
cards are experiencing a problem.
The controller and Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic
for a minimum of two minutes while they initialize their management
software and configure their parameter settings. Some network
traffic may be lost.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the active master card resets the controller card, but not the
Ethernet line cards. The inactive master controller card
immediately becomes the new active master card and the Ethernet
line cards continue to forward traffic. The reset controller card is
unavailable for about two minutes while it initializes its
management software, after which it becomes the inactive master
card in the chassis.
The backplane bandwidth for each Ethernet line card slot is reduced
from 40 to 20 Gbps for about two minutes while the reset controller
card initializes its management software. This may reduce network
performance.
If you want the active and inactive master controller cards to
exchange roles without having to reset the active card, use the
SWAP ACTIVITY command in the management software. Refer to
the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches for
information.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the inactive master controller card resets that card, but not the
active master controller card or the Ethernet line cards.
57
Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Note
The backplane bandwidth for each Ethernet line card is reduced
from 40 to 20 Gbps for about two minutes while the inactive master
controller card initializes its management software and synchronizes
its database with the active master controller card. This may reduce
network performance.
To reset individual line cards in the chassis, use the RESTART
CARD command in the management software.
NET MGMT
Port
The NET MGMT port is used by the controller card to support the features
in Table 14. The controller card uses the port to access your network to
communicate with network devices, such as TFTP servers and Telnet and
SSH client workstations.
An alternative to using the NET MGMT port is to configure the inband
interface on the controller card. The inband interface allows the card to
communicate with your network over the backplane and line cards in the
chassis.
You may use either the NET MGMT port or inband interface to give the
controller card access to your network, but you may not use both. For
instructions on how to configure the NET MGMT port and inband interface,
refer to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
Table 14. Features that Use the NET MGMT Port
Feature Description
Ping Used to test the NET MGMT port
for network connectivity.
FTP client Used with an FTP server on your
network to download files to or
upload files from the controller
card.
RADIUS client Used for remote management
authentication and 802.1x portbased network access control.
RMON with SNMP Used with the RMON portion of
the MIB tree on an SNMP
workstation to remotely monitor
the switch.
Secure Shell server Used to remotely manage the
chassis with a Secure Shell client.

Table 14. Features that Use the NET MGMT Port (Continued)
Feature Description
SNMPv1 and v2c Used to remotely manage the
chassis with SNMP.
SNTP client Used to set the date and time on
the controller card, from an NTP or
SNTP server on your network or
the Internet.
Syslog client Used to send the event messages
from the controller card to syslog
servers on your network for
storage.
TACACS+ client Used with a TACACS+ server on
your network for remote
management authentication.
Telnet server Used to remotely manage the
chassis with a Telnet client.
TFTP client Used with a TFTP server on your
network to download files to or
upload files from the controller
card.
TRACEROUTE Used to determine the
intermediate nodes (or hops) of
network paths.
The NET MGMT port has a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and operates
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable
requirements for this port are the same as the ports on the ATSBx31GT24 Line Card, given in Table 1 on page 36. For the port pinouts,
refer to “Port Pinouts” on page 258.
The port uses Auto-Negotiation to set its speed. You may not disable AutoNegotiation. To avoid a speed or duplex mode mismatch, you should
connect the port only to a device that also uses Auto-Negotiation. If
connected to a network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation, it
defaults to 10 Mbps, half-duplex mode.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically with
automatic MDIX detection. You may not disable automatic MDIX
detection. For automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the network
device you connect to the port must also support the feature. If it does not,
the NET MGMT port defaults to MDIX. This may require the use of a
crossover cable.

Chapter 1: Overview
Here are the guidelines to choosing straight-through or crossover cabling
for the port:
You may use a straight-through cable to connect the port to a
network device that operates at 1000 Mbps.
You may use a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the
port to a network device that supports automatic MDIX detection
and that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use a straight-through cable to connect the port to a
network device that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps and has a fixed
wiring configuration of MDI.
You must use a crossover cable to connect the port to a network
device that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps and has a fixed wiring
configuration of MDIX.

Power Supplies
SwitchBlade x3106 Installation Guide
There are three power supplies:
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply: This module supports all the
hardware components in the chassis, except for the PoE feature
on the ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards. A single power
supply can support a fully populated chassis, but you may install
two power supplies for power redundancy.
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply: This module has the same
function as the AC version, but is intended for DC power
applications.
AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply: This module provides the PoE
power for the ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Cards. The
module provides 1200 watts of power for PoE. You may install two
PoE power supplies in the chassis, for a total of 2,400 watts of
power.
See Figure 4, “Power Supply Units” on page 21 for illustrations of the
power supplies.
Here are the power supply guidelines:
Power supply modules are not included with the chassis and must
be purchased separately.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC and DC Power Supplies are hot
swappable. If the chassis has two power supplies and one of them
fails, you do not have to power off the operational module to
replace the failed unit.
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply is also hot swappable.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC and DC Power Supplies are installed in
slots C and D on the front panel. If you are installing just one power
supply, you may install it in either slot. See Figure 4 on page 21.
AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies are installed in slots A and B.
The total number of powered devices the chassis can support on
the ports on AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Cards 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 4 on page 40.
63
Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Note
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not compatible with the
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC and AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supplies.
Consequently, the chassis should not contain 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.
Given that the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not
compatible with the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply, a chassis
that contains one or more AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Cards should
use the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply, and not the DC
module, as the system power unit.
LEDs The LEDs on the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply are described in

Chapter 2: Safety Precautions and Site Preparation
Selecting a Site for the SwitchBlade x3106
Please perform the following procedure to determine the suitability of the
site for the chassis:
1. If you are installing the chassis in an equipment rack, check that the
rack is safely secured so that it will not tip over. You should install
devices starting at the bottom of the rack, with the heavier devices
near the bottom.
2. If you are installing the chassis on a table, check that the table is level
and stable and that it can safely handle the weight of the device. A fully
loaded chassis can weight more than 30 kg (66.1 lb).
3. Verify that the power outlets for the chassis are located near the unit
and are easily accessible.
4. Verify that the power sources are on different A/C circuits to protect
the unit from a power circuit failure.
5. Verify that the site has dedicated power circuits or power conditioners
to supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.
6. Verify that the site allows for easy access to the ports on the front of
the chassis so that you can easily connect and disconnect the network
cables, as well as view the unit’s LEDs.
7. Verify that the site allows for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents. The ventilation direction for the main section
of the chassis is from left to right (when facing the front of the chassis),
with the fan module drawing air out of the chassis. The power supplies
have fans that draw air from the front to the back.
8. Verify that the site has a reliable and earth (grounded) power supply
source, preferably dedicated and filtered.
9. Verify that the twisted pair cabling is not exposed to sources of
electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadband amplifiers,
power lines, electric motors, and fluorescent fixtures.
10. Verify that the site protects the chassis from moisture, water, and dust.
Here are other guidelines to consider:
76
Switch ports are suitable for intra-building connections, or where
non-exposed cabling is required.
Do not place objects on top of the chassis.

5. After installing the two screws in the equipment rack, go to the next
procedure, ”Removing the Rubber Feet”.
The rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis are for tabletop installation
and should be removed when installing the chassis in an equipment rack.
To remove the rubber feet, perform the following procedure:
The chassis may be heavy and awkward to lift. Allied Telesis
recommends that you get assistance when lifting the chassis.
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 without the shipping brace.

recommends that you get assistance when mounting the chassis in
an equipment rack. E30
Allied Telesis recommends having a minimum of three people lift
and secure the chassis in the equipment rack.
Before installing the chassis in the rack, review the following checklist:
Did you reserve sufficient space in the equipment rack for the
chassis and install two screws in the rack on which to rest the
chassis while securing it to the rack? If not, then perform
“Preparing the Equipment Rack” on page 83.
Did you adjust the brackets so that the front of the chassis is
positioned correctly for your installation? If not, then perform
“Adjusting the Equipment Rack Brackets” on page 86.
To install the AT-SBx3106 Chassis in the equipment rack, perform the
following procedure:
1. While facing the front of the chassis, tilt the top of the chassis toward
you, as shown in Figure 42 on page 90.
2. Lift the AT-SBx3106 Chassis into the equipment rack and set the
bottom of the equipment rack brackets firmly on the two equipment
rack screws installed in “Preparing the Equipment Rack” on page 83.

Caution
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
To protect the equipment from damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
during the installation procedure, observe proper ESD protection when
handling the SwitchBlade x3106 line cards and power supplies. You
should be properly grounded with a wrist or foot strap.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the components on the
SwitchBlade x3106 line cards and power supplies. Be sure to follow
proper ESD procedures during the installation.
To guard against ESD, perform this procedure:
1. Verify that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
2. Connect the wrist strap that comes with the chassis to the ESD socket
below the AT-SBxFAN06 Fan Module, shown in Figure 50. This
ensures that ESD voltages safely flow to ground.

Installing the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC System Power Supply
For background information on the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply,
refer to “Power Supplies” on page 63. The chassis must have at least one
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC or DC Power Supply.
The electronic components in the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power
Supply can be damaged by electro-static discharges (ESD). Follow
the procedure in “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)”
on page 96 to guard against ESD damage when unpacking and
installing the power supply.
To install the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply, perform the following
procedure:
1. Choose a slot for the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply in the
chassis.
You may install it in either slot C and D, shown in Figure 51. The first
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply should be installed in slot D,
because the slot does not have a blank power supply panel.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply will not work in slot A or B.
