Chapter 3: Installing the Avaya Ethernet

Routing Switch

This section provides the information and procedures to install the Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 4800. Unless otherwise noted, tasks in this section apply to all ERS 4800 switches.

Electrostatic discharge

This section provides information and procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge during installation.

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic voltages can result from friction including, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building static charge in clothing. When you improperly handle electronic components, ESD damage occurs and can result in complete or intermittent failures. While networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events, voltage can sometimes discharge to some connector pins, which can potentially damage the networking equipment.

Caution:

To protect the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch against ESD damage, take the following measures before you connect data cables to the device:

•Always use antistatic wrist straps. Make sure you adjust the strap to provide good skin contact.

•Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and equipment racks for protection against electrostatic discharge. You must connect the common point to the building ground wire. In a properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.

•Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap protects only the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Avoid touching any connector pins.

Installing the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch

• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.

Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations

With new cable installations, Avaya recommends that you use an ESD discharge cable to reduce the potential for damage from static, that can build up in cables. The following figure illustrates an ESD cable.

Figure 1: Job aid

To install the ESD discharge cable, perform this procedure.

1.Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable earth ground.

2.Connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of the ESD discharge cable for at least 5 seconds, and then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to the switch.

3.Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. After you connect cables to networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.

Environmental requirements

The following table provides the environmental requirements for the individual switches. Ensure that the area where you install the switch and where it operates meets these requirements.

	Environmental requirement	Values
	Ambient Temperature	0°C to 50°C, continuous operation

Installing the switch on a table or shelf

Caution:

Do not place an Avaya Ethernet Power Supply Unit or Avaya Ethernet Redundant Power Supply on top of the switch. The switch housing cannot support the weight of these units. For a translation of this statement, see Translations of safety messages on page 45.

Note:

Avaya switch hardware can vary in size and shape. Your switch might appear different than the following example figures.

1. Attach the included rubber footpads on the bottom of the switch at the locations.

2.Set the switch on a table or shelf as illustrated below. Allow at least 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) on each side for proper ventilation and at least 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) at the back for power cord clearance.

Installing the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch

Installing the Switch in an equipment rack

To install a switch in an equipment rack, perform this procedure.

Prerequisites for installing the switch in an equipment rack:

•Ensure that you have a space of 1.75 inches (4.45 centimeters) in height for each switch in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.

•The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.

•The rack is grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.

Caution:

When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another. You must secure each unit to the rack with the appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets cannot support multiple units. For a translation of this statement, see Translations of safety messages on page 45.

Note:

Avaya switch hardware can vary in size and shape. Your switch might appear different than the following example figures.

1.Attach a bracket to each side of the switch using a #2 Phillips screwdriver as illustrated in below.

Cable requirements

2. Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated.

3. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Note:

The switch mounting hardware is specific for each switch model. Do not mix screws or brackets between different switch models.

Cable requirements

The following table describes the cables required for ERS 4800.

Table 3: Switch cable requirements

	Required Cable	Description
	10/100/1000Base TX Ports	The interconnect cabling must conform to the Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6e
		specification of the Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling
		Standard, ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B fitted with an RJ-45 Module jack.

Installing the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch

Required Cable	Description
10/100Base TX Ports	The interconnect cabling for 10BaseT Ethernet must conform to Cat3,
	Cat4, Cat5 (or better) UTP cabling for distances up to 100 meters.
	The interconnect cabling for 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet must conform
	to Cat5 (or better) UTP cabling for distances up to 100 meters.
100BaseFX Ports	The interconnect cabling must conform to 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron
	multimode fiber-optic cabling for distances up to 3 kilometers.
Console Port	Varies depending on the switch model. A serial cable with RJ-45
	connectors, or a serial cable with a DB-9 female connector on both
	ends. The maximum length for the console port cable is 25 feet (8.3
	meters).
SFP Transceiver Ports	Varies with the installed SFP transceiver. See the documentation
	shipped with the SFP transceiver for specifications.
USB Port	USB 2.0 Type A-compliant cable.

Important:

In Autonegotiation mode, the switch automatically provides the proper MDI/MDI-X connection on the RJ-45 ports; to eliminate the need for crossover cables. After you disable Autonegotiation on 10/100 ports, MDI/MDI-x is also disabled.

Installation and removal of Small Form-factor Pluggable transceivers

The following section describes how to install and remove Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the switch. For more information about SFP transceiver use and designation, see

Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4800 Series, NN47205-301 .

Important:

The switch will display the interface speed of the T1/E1 SFP as a 100 Mb/s connection even though the interfaces is operating at the appropriate WAN speed. The system uses this value for STP path cost and MLT utilization.

Avaya recommends that you enable egress traffic shaping on the port to 1.544 Mbps when using the T1 SFP to guarantee appropriate Quality of Service and traffic prioritization.

Installing SFP transceivers

Install SFP transceivers by performing this procedure.

1.Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.

2.Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the network configuration.

3.Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.

4.Insert the transceiver into the proper module on the switch. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver until it clicks and locks into position in the module.

5. Remove the dust cover from the transceiver optical bores.

Removing of SFP transceivers

Remove SFP transceivers by performing this procedure.

1.Disconnect the network fiber cable from the transceiver.

2.Use the locking mechanism on the transceiver to release it. The locking mechanism varies from model to model as illustrated below.
