THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

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.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

and 2 power supplies: 280 lb (127 kg).

Airflow

•

WS-C6K-13SLOT-FAN (Standard fan tray)—641 CFM

• WS-C6K-13SLT-FAN2 (Optional high-speed fan tray)—1090 CFM

Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch

chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 cm) separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the chassis air exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of 12 inches (30.5 cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and the air intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air space can cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail. On Catalyst chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the chassis may be placed side-by-side.

Preparing for Installation

Note In this publication, the term Catalyst 6500 series refers only to the switch chassis listed in Chapter 1.

The Catalyst 6000 series switches (Catalyst 6006 and Catalyst 6009 switches) are described in a separate publication, the Catalyst 6000 Series Switch Installation Guide.

Planning a proper location for the switch and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. You should install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch and control of the environment. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.

This chapter describes how to prepare your site for switch installation and contains these sections:

• Safety, page 2-2

• Site Requirements, page 2-2

• Power Requirements, page 2-19

• Cabling Requirements, page 2-21

• Site Preparation Checklist, page 2-22

For detailed information about module cabling requirements, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.

Safety

Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The warnings below are general warnings that are applicable to the entire publication.

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Statement 1030

Warning

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.

Statement 1017

Warning

Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system.

Statement 200

Warning

Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.

Statement 1072

Site Requirements

These sections describe some of the basic site requirements that you should be aware of as you prepare to install your Catalyst 6500 series switch. Environmental factors can adversely affect the performance and longevity of your system. Planning a proper location for the switch and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. You should install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch and control of the environment. Equipment that is placed too closely together or that is inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions leading to premature component failures. In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessable and difficult to maintain.

The switch requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment. To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur. The switch environmental monitor can then shut down the system to protect the system components.

Multiple switches can be rack-mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However, when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the air intake vent of the switch chassis.

Site Requirements

6-2

Temperature

Temperature extremes can cause a system to operate at reduced efficiency and cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips, and failure of mechanical devices. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause chips to become loose in their sockets. Ensure that the system is operating in an environment no colder than 50°F (10°C) or hotter than 95°F (35°C). Ensure that the chassis has adequate ventilation. Do not place the chassis within a closed-in wall unit or on top of cloth, which can act as insulation. Do not place it where it will receive direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon. Do not place it next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents during winter. Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. Make sure that all slots and openings on the system remain unobstructed, especially the fan vent on the chassis. Clean the installation site at regular intervals to avoid buildup of dust and debris, which can cause a system to overheat. If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a 2-hour warm-up period to bring it up to normal operating temperature before turning it on. Failure to do so can damage internal components.

Note The Catalyst 6500 series switches are equipped with internal air temperature sensors that are triggered

at 40°C (104°F) generating a minor alarm and at 55°C (131°F) generating a major alarm.

6-3

Humidity

High-humidity conditions can cause moisture migration and penetration into the system. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degradation of properties such as electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, physical strength, and size. Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the system. Each system is rated to operate at 8 to 80 percent relative humidity, with a humidity gradation of 10 percent per hour. In storage, a system can withstand from 5 to 95 percent relative humidity. Buildings in which climate is controlled by air-conditioning in the warmer months and by heat during the colder months usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity for system equipment. However, if a system is located in an unusually humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to maintain the humidity within an acceptable range.

Altitude

Operating a system at high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of forced and convection cooling and can result in electrical problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at reduced efficiency. Each system is rated to operate at altitudes from –50 to 6500 feet (–16 to 1981 meters) and can be stored at altitudes of –50 to 35,000 feet (–16 to 10,668 meters).

2-4

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

Dust and Particles

Exhaust fans cool power supplies and system fan trays cool systems by drawing in air and exhausting air out through various openings in the chassis. However, fans also ingest dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup in the system and increased internal chassis temperature. A clean operating environment can greatly reduce the negative effects of dust and other particles, which act as insulators and interfere with the mechanical components in the system. In addition to regular cleaning, follow these precautions to avoid contamination of your equipment:

• Do not permit smoking anywhere near the system.

• Do not permit food or drink near the system.

6-4

Corrosion

Corrosion of system connectors is a gradual process that can eventually lead to intermittent failures of electrical circuits. The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on various components in the system. To prevent corrosion, avoid touching contacts on boards and cards, and protect the system from extreme temperatures and moist, salty environments.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from a system can adversely affect devices such as radio and television (TV) receivers operating near the system. Radio frequencies emanating from a system can also interfere with cordless and low-power telephones. Conversely, RFI from high-power telephones can cause spurious characters to appear on the system monitor. RFI is defined as any EMI with a frequency above 10 kilohertz (kHz). This type of interference can travel from the system to other devices through the power cable and power source or through the air like transmitted radio waves. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes specific regulations to limit the amount of EMI and RFI emitted by computing equipment. Each system meets these FCC regulations. To reduce the possibility of EMI and RFI, follow these guidelines:

• Only operate the system with the chassis cover installed.

• Ensure that all expansion slots are covered either by a card-mounting bracket or by a metal filler

bracket and that all drive bays have either a drive or a metal insert installed.

• Ensure that the screws on all peripheral cable connectors are securely fastened to their

corresponding connectors on the back of the chassis.

• Always use shielded cables with metal connector shells for attaching peripherals to the system.

When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant wiring:

• Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.

• Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal

drivers and receivers in the chassis, and even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines into equipment.

2-5

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency interference

(RFI).

If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.

If the wires exceed the recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Shock and Vibration

Catalyst 6500 series switches have been shock- and vibration-tested for operating ranges, handling, and earthquake standards to NEBS (Zone 4 per GR-63-Core). These tests have been conducted in earthquake environment and criteria, office vibration and criteria, transportation vibration and criteria, and packaged equipment shock.

Power Source Interruptions

Systems are especially sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power source. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from memory or even cause components to fail. To protect against these types of problems, power cables should always be properly grounded. Also, place the system on a dedicated power circuit (rather than sharing a circuit with other heavy electrical equipment). In general, do not allow the system to share a circuit with any of the following:

• Copy machines

• Air conditioners

• Vacuum cleaners

• Space heaters

• Power tools

• Teletype machines

• Laser printers

• Facsimile machines

• Any other motorized equipment

Besides these appliances, the greatest threats to a system power supply are surges or blackouts that are caused by electrical storms. Whenever possible, turn off the system and any peripherals, and unplug them from their power sources during thunderstorms. If a blackout occurs—even a temporary one—while the system is turned on, turn off the system immediately and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Leaving the system on may cause problems when the power is restored; all other appliances left on in the area can create large voltage spikes that can damage the system.

System Grounding

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. Table 2- 1 lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Table 2-1 Gounding Practice Guidelines

Environment

Electromagnetic Noise Severity Level Grounding Recommendations

Commercial building is subjected to direct lightning strikes.

For example, some places in the United States, such as Florida, are subject to more lightning strikes than other areas.

High All lightning protection devices must be

installed in strict accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Conductors carrying lightning current should be spaced away from power and data lines in accordance with applicable recommendations and codes. Best grounding practices must be closely followed.

Commercial building is located in an area where lightning storms frequently occur but is not subject to direct lightning strikes.

High Best grounding practices must be closely

followed.

Commercial building contains a mix of information technology equipment and industrial equipment, such as welding.

Medium to High Best grounding practices must be closely

followed.

Existing commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment. This installation has a history of malfunction due to electromagnetic noise.

Medium Best grounding practices must be closely

followed. Determine source and cause of noise if possible, and mitigate as closely as possible at the noise source or reduce coupling from the noise source to the victim equipment.

New commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment.

Low Best grounding practices should be followed

as closely as possible. Electromagnetic noise problems are not anticipated, but installing a best practice grounding system in a new building is often the least expensive route and the best way to plan for the future.

Existing commercial building is not subject to natural environmental noise or man-made industrial noise. This building contains a standard office environment.

Low Best grounding practices should be followed

as much as possible. Electromagnetic noise problems are not anticipated, but installing a best practice grounding system is always recommended.

2-7

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

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

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Note In installations where FXS modules are installed, supplemental grounding is required.

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.

Follow these guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• 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 Catalyst 6500 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. If you have an older Catalyst 6500 series chassis equipped with a plastic banana plug connector, we recommend that you use either the supplied ESD grounding wrist strap (with a metal clip) or an ESD grounding wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip. If you have a newer Catalyst 6500 series chassis that has a bare metal hole as the banana plug connector (also identified by the ground symbol next to the connector), 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 “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 3-22 for installation instructions and locations 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

2-8

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

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

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.

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.

Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (See Figure 2-1):

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.

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).

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

Air Flow

The system fan assembly provides cooling air for the supervisor engine and the switching modules.

Table 2- 2 lists the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis along with the supported and unsupported fan

trays. Table 2-3 lists the chassis air flow architecture and requirements for the Catalyst 6500 series switches. Sensors on the supervisor engine monitor the internal air temperatures. If the air temperature exceeds a preset threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages.

The Catalyst 6500 series switch is designed to be installed in an environment where there is a sufficient volume of air available to cool the supervisor engines, modules, and power supplies. Any constraints placed on the free flow of air through the chassis or an elevated ambient air temperature can cause the switch to overheat and shut down.

To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst 6500 switch chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 cm) separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the chassis hot air exhaust. In situations where the switch chassis are installed in adjacent racks, you should allow a minimum of 12-inches (30.5 cm) between the air intake of one chassis and the hot air exhaust of another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate spacing between chassis can cause the switch chassis that is drawing in the hot air exhaust to overheat and fail. On Catalyst 6500 series chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the chassis may be placed side-to-side.

If you choose to install your Catalyst 6500 series switch in an enclosed or partially enclosed rack, we strongly recommend that you verify that your site meets the following guidelines:

• Verify that there is a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance between the sides of the rack and

both the chassis air intake grill and the chassis air exhaust grill.

• Verify that the ambient air temperature within the enclosed or partially enclosed rack is within the

chassis operating temperature limits. After installing the chassis in the rack, power up the chassis and allow the chassis temperature to stabilize (approximately 2 hours). Measure the ambient air temperature at the chassis air intake grill and at the chassis air exhaust grill by positioning an external temperature probe approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the grills, in line with the chassis slot occupied by the supervisor engine.

–

If the ambient intake air temperature is less than 40°C (104°F), the rack meets the intake air temperature criterion.

–

If the ambient intake air temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), the system might experience minor temperature alarms and is in danger of overheating.

–

If the ambient intake air temperature equals or is greater than 55°C (131°F), the system will experience a major temperature alarm and shut down.

• Verify that the enclosed or partially enclosed rack allows an adequate flow of air through the switch

chassis as follows:

–

If the difference between the measured intake air temperature and the exhaust air temperature does not exceed 10°C, there is sufficient airflow in the rack.

–

If the difference in air temperature exceeds 10° C, there is insufficient airflow to cool the chassis.

Note The 10°C temperature differential between the intake and the exhaust must be determined by

taking measurements using external digital temperature probes. Do not use the chassis internal temperature sensors to measure the temperature differential.

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

• Plan ahead. Your Catalyst 6500 series switches currently installed in an enclosed or partially

enclosed rack might meet ambient air temperature and air flow requirements now. However, if you add more chassis to the rack or you add more modules to a chassis in the rack, the additional heat generated might cause the ambient air temperature within the rack to exceed 40°C (104°F) and can cause minor alarms.

If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans cannot be replaced. To replace a fan assembly, see the “Removing and Installing the Fan Assembly” section on

page 4-57.

Refer to your software configuration guide for information on environmental monitoring.

Figure 2-10 Catalyst 6513 Switch Internal Airflow

Power Requirements

Follow these requirements when preparing your site for the switch installation:

• In systems configured with two power supplies, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate

input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.

• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each source circuit is within

the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.

• In some systems, you may elect use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power

failures at your site. Please be aware when selecting a UPS that some UPS models that use ferroresonant technology can become unstable when operating with the Catalyst 6500 series switch power supplies which use power factor correction (PFC). This can cause the output voltage waveform to the switch to become distorted resulting in an undervoltage situation in the system.

• The AC-input power supply has a detachable power cord (except for the 4000 W power supplies)

that allows you to connect each power supply to the site power source. The 4000 W AC-input power supply power cords are hard-wired to the power supply and cannot be removed.

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-5781-04

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Power Requirements

• You can connect the DC-input power supply to the power source with heavy gauge wiring connected

to a terminal block. The wire gauge size is determined by local electrical codes and restrictions.

• If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a

two-pole circuit breaker.

• The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily

accessible.

• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding

conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment.

Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 6500 series switch AC power supplies to the site power source:

• Each chassis power supply should have a separate, dedicated branch circuit.

• For North America:

–

The 950 W power supply requires a 15 A circuit.

–

The 1000 W power supply requires a 15 A or 20 A circuit.

–

The 1300 W, 1400 W, 2500 W, 2700 W, and 3000 W power supplies require a 20 A circuit.

–

The 4000 W power supply requires a 30 A circuit.

–

The 6000 W power supply requires one or two 20 A circuits.

Note With one 220 VAC, 20 A circuit, the 6000 W power supply is limited to 2900 W.

• For International:

–

Circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.

• If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a

two-pole circuit breaker.

• The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily

accessible.

• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding

conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment.
