The Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) port is an RJ-45 interface that provides external synchronized clocking through a timing signal generator (TSG). The BITS input is an external timing reference that must be traceable to a stratum 3 clock or better. The BITS port on the switch can be configured to accept either a T1 or an E1 framed input. Although this clock input is T1 or E1 framed, it does not carry data and cannot be used for any other purpose than to derive clocking for the system.

207474

Alarm Input Port

The switch supports four alarm inputs. The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. Use the CLI to define each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define the alarm severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm message, and the corresponding Alarm LED responds (see the “Alarm LEDs Description” section on

page 1-9).

Front Panel

Management and Console Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or the console port. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console port connection uses a RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s, and its traffic is isolated from the other ports. See Tabl e 1-7 for descriptions of the Ethernet management port LEDs. See the “10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port” section on page B-3 for pinout information.

For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Console Port Adapter Pinouts” section on

page B-8.

10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default. The switch ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the switch port speed and the duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a switch 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

SFP+ and SFP Modules

The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules are used for connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP+ module slot. You can use any combination of SFP+ or SFP modules. The SFP+ modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections. The SFP+ module slots support SFP+ and 1000BASE-X SFP modules. The SFP+ module slots do not support 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-T modules.

Use only Cisco SFP+ or SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information.

Caution The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or

unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces which connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

You can use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.

Installation Guidelines

Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

• For Ethernet ports and 1000BASE-T SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected

devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).

• For cable requirements for SFP+ and SFP module connections, see the “Cable Pinouts” section on

page B-7.

• Operating environment is within the ranges listed in Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”

• Front-panel indicators can be easily read, and access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

• AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the connector.

• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent

lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.

• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.

Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Note If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be

greater than normal room temperature.

• Before you connect the switch to a power source, note the power consumption specifications in

Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf, you should power the switch and verify that the switch passes the power-on self-test (POST).

To power on the switch, see Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and

Fan Modules.”

When the switch begins POST, the System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain green. When the switch passes POST, the System LED becomes green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the System LED is amber.

Note Contact Cisco Systems immediately if your switch fails POST.
