The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Overview

CHAPTER

Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch ( the Cisco Nexus 5548 switch).

This chapter includes these sections:

• Overview, page 1-1

• Applications, page 1-2

• Cisco Nexus 5548P Switch, page 1-2

The Cisco Nexus 5548P switch, which is the first switch in the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform, provides the following features:

• Standards-based 10-Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and virtual machine awareness features that allow you

to consolidate networks based on your requirements.

• Higher port density, lossless Ethernet, wire-speed performance, and very low latency. The switch

provides sufficient port density to support single and multiple racks fully populated with blade and rack-mount servers.

• Ports and power connections that are at the rear, closer to server ports, which help to keep cable

lengths as short and efficient as possible.

OL-15902-01

• Hot-swappable power and fan modules that you can access from the front panel, where status lights

allow you to view the switch operation.

• Front-to-back cooling that supports efficient data center hot and cold-aisle designs.

• Replaceable units that are accessible from the front panel.

• Data Center Bridging (DCB) that enables Ethernet fabrics to support lossless transmission to

increase network scalability, support I/O consolidation, ease management of multiple traffic flows, and optimize performance. Although SAN consolidation requires only the lossless fabric provided by the Ethernet pause mechanism, the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch provides additional features that create an even more easily managed, high performance, unified network fabric.

• Cisco unified fabric that consolidates all data center I/O onto Layer 2 Ethernet. Unified fabric

reduces capital and operating costs by reducing the number of server adapters, cables, and upstream switches needed.

Applications

Send documentation comments to nx5000-docfeedback@cisco.com

• Energy efficiency that helps data centers operate within their space, power, and cooling parameters

• Consistent management for Cisco products is provided through consistency of both Cisco NX-OS

• Software manageability and serviceability features that include Smart Call Home and automated

Applications

The Cisco Nexus 5548P Platform switch supports the following application scenarios:

• As a 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch, the switch can consolidate 10-Gigabit Ethernet

Chapter 1 Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Overview

while reducing their carbon footprints. Every network link at the rack level requires adapters, switches, and transceivers, all of which consume power. I/O consolidation reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for separate Fibre Channel adapters, cables, and switches.

connections into a smaller number of server connections trunked to the aggregation layer.

• As a Layer 3 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch, the switch can consolidate multiple 1- and

10-Gigabit Ethernet connections from a data center access layer.

• With the Cisco Nexus 2248T GE Ethernet Fabric Extender, the switch can be a high-density

1-Gigabit Ethernet switching system, by consolidating more than 900 Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

• With the Cisco Nexus 2232T 10GE Fabric Extender, the switch can be a high-density 10-Gigabit

Ethernet switching system, by consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

• As a rack-level I/O consolidation platform, the switch carries Ethernet traffic from servers to the

aggregation layer and carries FC traffic to existing Fibre Channel SANs.

• The switch enables I/O consolidation at the access layer and provides interoperability with the

switch and other standards-based products.

Features

The Cisco Nexus 5548P switch is the first switch in the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform. It is a one-rack-unit (1 RU), 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE switch that offers up to 960-Gbps throughput and up to 48 ports. The switch has 32, 1- or 10-Gbps fixed small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) Ethernet and FCoE ports and one expansion slot. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 55548 switch has the following features:

• One slot on the back of the switch for a Gatos Expansion Module [GEM]. You can use the N55M16P

and N55 M8P8FP Modules in this slot.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable fan modules. You can insert four fans per

module, which gives you a total of eight fans.

• One slot at the front of the switch for a USB port.

• Front-to-back cooling that supports efficient data center hot and cold-aisle designs.

Cisco Nexus 5548P Switch

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5548P switch chassis is 1 RU, 1.72 inches tall, 17.3 inches wide and 30.0 inches deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The switch has two power supplies and two fans modules on the front of the switch. The switch also has one USB port (usb1:) at the front of the switch. This external USB flash memory is installed in a supervisor module used for storing image files, configuration files, and other miscellaneous files. You can create directories on external flash memory and navigate through these directories. You can also create and access files. The usb1: port usage on the Cisco Nexus 5548 switch is the same as that on other Cisco NX-OS devices. (For details, see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/fundamentals/configuration/guide /Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Fundamentals_Configuration_Guide_Release_5.x_chapter7.htm)

Thirty-two fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports and expansion modules are at the rear of the switch. The airflow is front to back.

Cables

On the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platforms, you can use an innovative Twinax copper cable that connects to standard SFP+ connectors for in-rack use, and on optical cable for longer cable runs.

For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports SFP+ direct-attach 10-Gigabit Ethernet copper, which integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energy efficient, low-cost, and low-latency solution. SFP+ direct-attach 10-Gigabit Twinax copper cables use only 0.1 watts of power per transceiver and introduce only approximately 0.25 microsecond of latency per link.

For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports multimode, short-reach optical SFP+ transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1 W per transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1 microsecond.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is a 2 RU, top-of-rack switch that provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel consolidation in a single physical cable. The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol is used to consolidate Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic onto the same physical connection between the server and the switch. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is a part of a family of switches that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and native 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. The switches provide consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency Ethernet switch.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch has the following features:

• Forty fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch

Features

Chapter 2 Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Overview

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch is a 1RU, top-of-rack switch that provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel consolidation in a single physical cable. The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol is used to consolidate Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic onto the same physical connection between the server and the switch. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch is a part of a family of switches that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and native 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. The switches provide consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency Ethernet switch.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch has the following features:

• One slot on the back of the switch for an optional uplink Gatos Expansion Module [GEM]. The

following modules can be inserted into this slot: N5K-M1404, N5K-M1600 and N5K-M1008.

• Twenty to twenty-eight ports on the back of the switch depending on which GEM is installed.

Twenty ports on Cisco Nexus 5010 switch belong to the base switch. Additionally, you an insert a a module with six or eight ports.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for fan modules. Each fan module houses six fans. The

combination of six fans per module and two modules provides the switch with a total of 12-fans.

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5010 chassis is 1 RU, 1.72 inches tall, 17.3 inches wide and 30.0 inches deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The switch has two power supplies and two fans modules on the front of the switch. Ports are at the rear of the switch. The airflow is front to back.

Airflow Considerations

Airflow through the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch or the Cisc Nexus 5000 Series switch is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis through perforations on the rear of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:

• Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.

• Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air-conditioning requirements.

When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.

Chassis Weight

When lifting the system, follow these guidelines:

• Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the system.

• Have two people to lift the system. The Cisco Nexus 5548P switch weighs 35 lb (15.88 kg).

• The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch weighs 50 lb (22.680 kg and the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch weighs 35

lb (15.876 kg)

• Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your

feet.

• Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at

the knees, not at the waist.

Installation Guidelines

When installing the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch or the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch, follow these guidelines:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Appendix D, “Site

Planning and Maintenance Records,” lists the recommended site planning tasks.

• Record the information listed in Appendix D, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records,” as you

install and configure the switch.

Preparing for Installation

• Ensure that there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for

adequate airflow (

• Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix B,

Appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” lists airflow requirements).

“Technical Specifications.”

• Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix A, “Cabinet and Rack

Installation.”

Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on

page C-12.

• Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. If the switch is not mounted in a grounded rack, we

recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground.

• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix B, “Technical

Specifications.” If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against

power failures.

Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable

with systems such as the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch or the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.

OL-15902-01

• Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power

supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.

Proper Grounding Practices

Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Note In all situations, grounding practices must comply with local National Electric Code (NEC)

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Note Always ensure that all of the modules are completely installed and that the captive installation screws

are fully tightened. In addition, ensure that all I/O cables and power cords are properly seated. These practices are normal installation practices and must be followed in all installations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

For preventing ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

Grounding the System

• Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin.

• ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All

chassis from the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform or from the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. We recommend that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.

• If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap

equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

• If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.

See the

“Establishing the System Ground” section on page 3-17 for installation instructions and

location of the chassis system ground pads.

Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides

a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

OL-15902-01

Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and

unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove

the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Grounding the System

Step 2 Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal

spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws

open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or

the lug barrel.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip

directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

To attach the ESD wrist strap to the system ground lug screw for the Cisco Nexus 5548 switch, you can follow the same procedure that is used for Cisco Nexus 5000 switch.

Send comments to n5kdocs@cisco.com

In addition, follow these guidelines when handling modules:

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Establishing the System Ground

This section describes how to connect a system ground to the Cisco Nexus 5548P switch or or the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.

Grounding the System

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

You must use the system (NEBS) ground on AC-powered systems if you are installing this equipment in a U.S. or European Central Office.

The system (NEBS) ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and grounding for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules and is intended to satisfy the Telcordia Technologies NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You must observe the following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:

• You must install the system (NEBS) ground connection with any other rack or system power ground

connections that you make. The system ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You must connect both the system (NEBS) ground connection and the power supply ground

connection to an earth ground. The system (NEBS) ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You do not need to power down the chassis because the Cisco Nexus 5548 switch and the Cisco

Nexus 5020 switch are equipped with AC-input power supplies.

Required Tools and Equipment

To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:

• Grounding lug—A two-hole standard barrel lug. This lug supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as

part of accessory kit.

OL-15902-01

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8mm (metric) pan-head screws. These screws are supplied as part of

the accessory kit.

Send comments to n5kdocs@cisco.com

• Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized

according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

• No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.

• Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

• Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 5548P Chassis

The chassis has a grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes for attaching a grounding lug. The location of the system ground on the Cisco Nexus Cisco Nexus 5548P switch is identical to that on the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.

Note For the procedure on how to ground the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch chassis, see page x-x.

CHAPTER

Connecting the Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches and Cisco Nexus 5500 Series switches provide the following types of ports:

• Console port —An RS-232 port that you can use to create a local management connection.

• Ethernet ports, both encrypted and unencrypted—These ports can be used to connect to a LAN.

• Fibre Channel ports—These ports can be used to connect to a SAN.

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that

power cables and other potential noise sources must be located as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 in a grounded metallic conduit.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Patform switch or Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch, consider the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:

• Cabling required for each interface type

• Distance limitations for each signal type

• Additional interface equipment required

Connecting to the Console Port

Note This section applies to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Patform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series

switches.

The console port is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface. (See Figure 4-1.) The console port is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

Chapter 4 Connecting the Switch

We recommend using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time.

Caution The console port can be used to connect to a modem. If you do not connect it to a modem, connect it

either before powering the switch on or after the switch has completed the boot process.

Figure 4-1 shows how to connect to the console port on the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch. The process

is identical for the Cisco Nexus 5500 switch.

You can use the console port to perform the following:

• Configure the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch from the CLI.

• Monitor network statistics and errors.

• Configure SNMP agent parameters.

• Download software updates.

Note To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal

emulation. The terminal emulation software (frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus) makes communication between the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch and a computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step 2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see Figure 4-1) and the DB-9

connector to the computer serial port.

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Note For configuration instructions, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI Configuration

Guide.

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Note This section applies to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Patform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series

switches.

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial

configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI Configuration Guide.

This section describes how to to connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router. The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface. To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port:

• Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an

Ethernet switch port or hub.
