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 inform ation 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.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirements

These sections describe the basic site requirements that you should be aware of before you install your Cisco

ME 6524 Ethernet switch. Environmental factors can adversely affect the performance and

longevity of your system.

The following environmental factors are described:

• Temperature and Air Circulation, page 2-3

• Humidity, page 2-4

• Altitude, page 2-4

• Dust and Contamination, page 2-5

• Corrosion, page 2-5

• Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference, page 2-5

• Shock and Vibration, page 2-6

Temperature and Air Circulation

Site Requirements

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 also 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 104°F (40°C).

The Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet switch is designed to be installed in an environment where there is a sufficient volume of air available to cool the electronics and the 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.

If you choose to install your Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet 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 a temperature probe approximately 1

inch (2.5 cm) away from and in line with the center of the grill

as follows:

–

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

–

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

–

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

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

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 50°F (10°C), there is sufficient airflow in the rack.

• If the difference in air temperature exceeds 50°F (10°C), there is insufficient airflow to cool the

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

If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans cannot be replaced.

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

Humidity

Altitude

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, and physical strength. 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.

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.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Dust and Contamination

Chassis fans cool power supplies and systems by drawing in air and exhausting air out through various perforations in the chassis cover. 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.

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.

Site Requirements

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference

When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals in 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 system chassis, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment.

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 where applicable.

If wires exceed recommended distances, or if the wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the possibility 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.

Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric

properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the system.

Shock and Vibration

Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet 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.

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. lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Ta b l e 2-1 Grounding Practice Guidelines

Environment

A 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.

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

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

Low Best grounding practices should be followed

as much as possible; consult with the site or local electrician. Electromagnetic noise problems are not anticipated, but installing a best practice grounding system is always recommended.

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

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when FRUs are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures.

To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

• 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 Cisco

ME 6524 Ethernet switch chassis are equipped with an ESD connector (identified by the

ground symbol next to the connector) on the front panel.

• If you choose to use an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system

ground lug to the chassis 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.

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.

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

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

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

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

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

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.

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.

Power Requirements

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

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Power Requirements

The ME 6524 chassis can physically accommodate two power supplies. Two types of power supplies are currently available:

• A 400 W AC-input power supply

• A 400 W DC-input power supply

The ME 6524 chassis supports the following power supply configurations:

• Two AC-input power supplies

• Two DC-input power supplies

• One AC-input power supply and one DC-input power supply

The next two sections provide basic guidelines for connecting AC-input power supplies to the site source AC and for connecting DC-input power supplies to the site source DC.

Power Requirements

Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

This section provides basic guidelines for connecting AC-input power supplies to site source AC.

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

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

• 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.

• The AC-input power supply has a detachable power cord that allows you to connect each power

supply to the site power source.

• 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.

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

two-pole circuit breaker.

• Ensure that all power connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National

Electrical Code (NEC) and any additional local codes.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

6524 switch power

• 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.

• The circuit breaker is considered the disconnect device and should be easily accessible.

• You must protect the circuit by using a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker should

be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national code requirements.

Power Connection Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems

This section provides basic guidelines for connecting DC-input power supplies to site source DC.

When preparing your site for the switch installation, follow these requirements:

• 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.

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

insulated crimp-on spade lugs or insulated crimp-on ring connectors connected to a terminal block. The wire gauge size and connector size is determined by local electrical codes and restrictions.

• Ensure that all power connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National

Electrical Code (NEC) and any additional local codes.

• Ensure that the DC return remains isolated from the system frame and the chassis (DC-I).

Cisco ME 6500 Series Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

2-10

OL-8900-03

Page 39

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

• For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated, high-strand-count copper

wire cable. Connection to the DC-input power supply requires one earth ground cable, one source DC (–), and one source DC return (+). The length of the cables depends on your switch location.

These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from any commercial cable vendor.

• The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC

power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicate that the cable is a ground cable. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are connected to the DC-input power supply terminal block in the proper (+) and (–) polarity. In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This label is a relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the DC-input power supply terminal block.

• You must terminate DC power cables by using insulated crimp-on spade lugs or insulated crimp-on

ring connectors at the power supply end.

• The circuit breaker is considered the disconnect device and should be easily accessible.

• You must protect the circuit by using a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker should

be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national code requirements.

Cabling Requirements

When running power and data cables together in overhead cable trays or subfloor cable trays, be aware of the following cautions:

Caution We strongly recommend that you locate the power cabling runs and other potential noise sources as far

away as practical from LAN cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. If you cannot separate the long parallel cable runs by at least 3.3 sources by housing them in grounded metallic conduits.

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

unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type GR-1089-CORE, Issue Protector when making a connection; Primary Protectors will not provide sufficient protection if you connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Step 8 Carefully remove the new DRAM DIMM from its shipping packaging. Step 9 Holding the new DRAM DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, with the connector edge (the

metal fingers) down, carefully slide the DIMM into the DIMM socket. Make sure that you fully insert the connector edge of the DIMM into the socket connector.

Note A notch (key) is located on the left connector edge of the DIMM. This notch key ensures that

the DIMM is correctly oriented in the socket.

Step 11 Locate the RP DRAM DIMM in its socket on the MSFC daughter card. (See Figure 4-5 for the location

of the RP DRAM DIMM.)

Step 12 Repeat the DRAM DIMM removal and installation process for the RP DRAM DIMM by completing

steps 4 through 8.

Step 13 After replacing both DRAM DIMMs, position the chassis top cover over the chassis and lower it into

position. Secure the cover to the chassis with the fourteen screws.

Step 14 Reinstall the power supplies in the chassis. If you are reinstalling DC-input power supplies, refer to

“Installing the DC-Input Power Supply” section on page 4-4 for the procedure. If you are reinstalling

1. A mode-conditioning patch cord, as specified by the IEEE standard, is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP transceivers, and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP transceiver with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP transceiver and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).

2. ITU-T G.652 SMF as specified by the IEEE 802.3z standard.

3. Single-strand SMF.
