Preparation
2.1Site 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: Determine airflow direction of the four fan modules and two power supply
modules on the rear panel. Fan and power supply module handles indicate airflow direction:
•Blue Handle: Air Inlet module.
•Red Handle: Air Exit module.
Figure 2-1 on page 6 displays fan and power supply module locations on the rear panel. Their red
handles indicate that they are air exit modules. Verify that each module has the same airflow
direction. Base the switch orientation on the airflow direction of the modules to assure the air inlet
is always oriented toward the cool aisle:
•Air Exit modules: orient the rear panel toward the hot aisle.
•Air Inlet modules: orient the rear panel toward the cool aisle.
If the airflow direction is not compatible with the installation site, contact your sales representative
to obtain modules that circulate air in the opposite direction.

3.2.3Expanding the Rails
The rail is a two-piece mechanism. The rail length is adjusted by sliding the rail-rod inside the rail-slide.
The rail clip prevent extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between front and
rear rack posts. When the rail is contracted, the rail clip is closest to the slide end.
The rail is initially contracted and must be expanded to attach onto the rack. This procedure expands
the rails from their contracted state:
Step 1Grip the slide end with your left hand and the rod end with your right hand (Figure 3-11-left).
Step 2Pull the ends apart until the rail-clip makes an audible click (Figure 3-11-right).
Figure 3-11: Expanding the Rails
3.2.4Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
A rail connects a front post to a rear post. Each end has two rack plugs (Figure 3-11-Right, Inset A).
Rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. To install rails into posts with
threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs on both sides of the rails, then install the rails with bolts
that fit the rack. This procedure attaches the rails to a four-post rack:
Step 1Attach rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots
(Figure 3-12-Right, Inset A). The slide assembly must be inside the right posts, relative to the
left rack posts.
If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.

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 1Provide power to the switch (Section 4.1).
Step 2Connect the console port to a PC (Section 4.2).
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 3Log into the switch by typing admin at the login prompt.
localhost login:admin
Step 4Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel. IMPORTANT: This step initiates a switch
reboot.
localhost>zerotouch cancel
Step 5After the switch boots, log into the switch again by typing admin at the login prompt.
