Preparation
2.1 Site Selection
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the switch:
• Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the switch where there is ample
airflow to the front and back of the switch. The ambient temperature should not go below 0° or
exceed 40°C.
Important! To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient temperature
exceeds 40°C (104°F).
Pour empêcher l’interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température ambiante
est supérieure à 40°C (104°F).
• Airflow Orientation: The CCS PoE switches support only front-to-back airflow direction. If the
airflow direction is not compatible with the installation site, contact your sales representative.
• Rack Space: Install the switch in a 19" rack or cabinet. The switch height is 1 RU. The accessory
kit provides mounting brackets for two-post and four-post racks.
When mounting the switch in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the
heaviest equipment at the bottom. Load the switch at the bottom if it is the only item in the rack.
• Power Requirements: Power requirements vary by switch and power supply model. Refer to
Table 1-3 on page 3 and Table 1-5 on page 3 for information regarding your specific system.
Two circuits provide redundancy protection. Section 4.1 describes power cable requirements.
Important! The power input plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times; it provides the primary
method of disconnecting power from the system.
La combinaison de la puissance-prise d’entrée doit être accessible en tout temps ; Il fournit le principal
moyen de coupure d’alimentation du système.
• Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and
foreign objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify these guidelines are met:
• Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
• All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
• Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.

Configuring the Switch
Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch
without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location
specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration
provides one username (admin) accessible only through the console port because it has no password.
When bypassing ZTP, initial switch access requires logging in as admin, with no password, through the
console port. Then you can configure an admin password and other password protected usernames.
This manual configuration procedure cancels ZTP mode, logs into the switch, assigns a password to
admin, assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a network
gateway.
Chapter 5
Step 1 Provide power to the switch (Section 4.1).
Step 2 Connect the console port to a PC (Section 4.3).
As the switch boots without a startup-config file, it displays the following through the console:
The device is in Zero Touch Provisioning mode and is attempting to
download the startup-config from a remote system. The device will not
be fully functional until either a valid startup-config is downloaded
from a remote system or Zero Touch Provisioning is cancelled. To cancel
Zero Touch Provisioning, login as admin and type 'zerotouch cancel'
at the CLI.
localhost login:
Step 3 Log into the switch by typing admin at the login prompt.
localhost login:admin
Step 4 Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel. IMPORTANT: This step initiates a switch
reboot.
