Indicates that the concentration of the hazardous substance of at least one of all homogeneous
materials in the parts is above the relevant threshold of the SJ/T 11363-2006 standard.
This table shows where these substances may be found in the supply chain of Enterasys electronic
information products, as of the date of sale of the enclosed product. Note that some of the component types
listed above may or may not be a part of the enclosed product.

The Environmentally Friendly Use Period (EFUP) for all enclosed products and their parts
are per the symbol shown here, unless otherwise marked. Certain parts may have a
different EFUP (for example, battery modules) and so are marked to reflect such. The
Environmentally Friendly Use Period is valid only when the product is operated under the
conditions defined in the product manual.
The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers.
Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the
need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser
transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all
three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the
fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum
radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye
hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

Safety Compliance
Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety
When using a fiber optic media expansion module, never look at the transmit laser
while it is powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable
ends when they are powered on.
Avertissment: Ports pour fibres optiques - sécurité sur le plan optique
Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu’il est sous tension. Ne regardez jamais
directement le port TX (Tramsmission) à fibres optiques et les embouts de câbles à
fibres optiques tant qu’ils sont sous tension.
Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses eingeschaltet ist.
Niemals direkt auf den Faser-TX-Anschluß und auf die Faserkabelenden schauen,
während diese eingeschaltet sind.

The 71G21K2L2-24P24 has twenty-four 100Mb/1Gb SFP ports, twenty-four 10/100/1000 PoE (.at+
.af capable) RJ45 ports, two 1/10Gb SFP+ ports and two 10/40Gb QSFP+ ports, as shown in
Two 800 watt (PoE) and two 460 watt AC power supply models, which you must order separately,
are available for the 7100G-Series switch depending upon the model:
71G21K2L2-48P and 71G21K2L2-24P24:
•71A-POE-A – I/O port side air exhaust
•71A-POE-B – I/O port side air intake
71G11K2L2-48:
•71A-PS-A – I/O port side air exhaust
•71A-PS-B – I/O port side air intake
Each power supply option contains a single non-reversible fan. The two power supply options for
each 7100-Series model are differentiated by the direction of the power supply fan air flow. Power
supply air flow must agree with the air flow direction of the installed fan modules.
The 7100G-Series AC power supplies automatically adjust to the input voltage and frequency,
which allows for an input voltage of 100 to 240 Vac, and a frequency between 50 and 60 Hz. See the
operating specifications in Appendix A, Specifications. No additional adjustments are necessary.
For installations in North America, a 15 Amp power cord is required. See “Powering Up the
7100G-Series Switch” on page 2-14 for more details.
AC Power Supplies
You can install up to two power supplies in the 7100G-Series chassis. All the power supply needs
of the 7100G-Series switch can be met by installing a single power supply. If you choose to use two
power supplies, system power redundancy is guaranteed if one supply is lost. Power supplies are
hot swappable in redundant power supply mode.
For more information, see “Installing the Power Supplies” on page 2-12. For information on the
power supply LED, see “Power Supply LED” on page 3-5.
Fans
The 7100G-Series switch comes with a single installed fan module to cool the system. The
direction of the fan module air flow is reversible. By default air flows from the power supply side
to the switch I/O port side of the unit. If your 7100G-Series switch configuration requires switch I/
O port side to power supply side air flow, see “Reversing the Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-5
for details about how to reverse the fan module air flow.
The 7100G-Series fan module is field replaceable. For information on how to replace 7100G-Series
fan module, see “Replacing the 7100G-Series Fan Module” on page 3-8.
Micro-USB Port
The micro-USB port is provided for local file transfer.
Management
You can manage the 7100G-Series switch either in-band or out-of-band. In-band remote
management is possible using the Enterasys Networks’ NetSight
command line interface (CLI) via Telnet. Out-of-band management is provided through the RJ45
COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a PC, a VT terminal, or a VT terminal
emulator. For more information, see “Connecting to the Network” on page 2-15.
For data center redundancy, you can configure two co-located 7100G-Series chassis to operate as a
single logical chassis (a virtual switch bonded chassis) managed by one IP address. Connect the
chassis to each other by using the two 40Gb ports on each 7100G-Series chassis.
Note: For virtual switch bonding configuration details, see the Enterasys 7100-Series Configuration
Guide.

1.Open the box and remove the packing material protecting the 7100G-Series switch.
Save the shipping box and materials in the event the unit must be reshipped.
2.Remove and set aside the RJ45-to-DB9 converter, anti-static wrist strap, adhesive feet (for flat
surface placement), and power cord retention clips.
The 7100G-Series switch does not include screws for attaching the 7100G-Series switch to rack
posts.
3.Verify the contents of the carton as listed in the Table 2- 1.
4.Inspect the 7100G-Series switch for any signs of physical damage.
2-2 Installation
If there are any signs of damage, DO NOT install the 7100G-Series switch; instead, contact
Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page xvii for details.
Mounting the 7100G-Series Switch
Note: The 7100G-Series switch comes with integrated mounting ears that are adequate for most
installations. For slide-in mounting, high vibration, or high shock installations, an optional rack
mount kit (71A-RACK-U) is available.
To install the 7100G-Series switch in a rack using the 71A-RACK-U optional rack mount kit, follow
the pre-installation discussion here including: “Power Supply Air Flow and Switch Fan Module
Air Flow” on page 2-4 and “Reversing the Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-5, before proceeding
to “Optional Rack Mount Rail Kit Installation” on page C-1.
You can install a 7100G-Series switch on a flat surface or in a rack. For more information about flat
surface installation, see “Flat Surface Installation” on page 2-12.
There are four possible rack mounting configurations as shown in Figure 2-1, based upon
whether:
•The switch I/O ports side or the power supply side of the device face front
•The device is mounted flush with the rack posts or mid-mounted
Power Supply Air Flow and Switch Fan Module Air Flow
The power supply module has its own fan for cooling the power supply, and the switch fan
module has four fans for cooling the switch circuitry. The air flow direction of both the power
supply and fan modules must agree in order to properly cool the installed 7100G-Series system. In
rack mount configurations it is best practice to mount all devices with a common cool air side and
a common exhaust (hot air) side.
On the 7100-Series switch, air flow direction can be from either:
•The power supply side to the switch I/O port side
•The switch I/O port side to the power supply side
Note: The power suppl(ies) must be ordered separately from the switch unit, and air flow direction
must be specified when ordering them. Power supply air flow direction is fixed and can not be
manually changed. If the ordered power supply has an air flow direction that does not work for your
rack configuration, you must re-order the power supply that has the correct air flow direction (see
Table 2-3).
The 7100-Series switch is shipped from the factory set up for air flow direction from the power
supply side to the switch I/O port side of the device. If your installation requires that air flow
direction be from the I/O port side to the power supply side, you will need to reverse the air flow
of the switch fan module fans (see “Reversing the Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-5). Also, the
rack mount flanges (ears) need to be reversed (see “Rack Mount Ear Positioning” on page 2-7).
Air flow direction of the switch fan modules can be determined by visually inspecting them for
whether a white label or a fan blade is visible through the fan screen. Before securing the
7100G-Series switch to the rack or installing the power supply into the 7100G-Series switch,
perform a visual verification that both power supply module and switch fan module air flow
agree with the intended configuration as defined in Tab le 2 -2 and Tabl e 2 -3.
Unpack each power supply you ordered for the 7100G-Series switch (See “Unpacking the Power
Supplies” on page 2-12).
Table 2-2 Switch Fan Module Air Flow Direction
Air Flow DirectionVisual Indication
From power supply side to switch I/O port sideFan blade is visible on fan unit
From switch I/O port side to power supply sideWhite label is visible on fan unit
For the non-PoE power supplies, the power supply air flow direction can also be verified based
upon the power supply manufacturer’s part number located on the power supply bottom label
and the airflow direction indicator on the serial number label located on the lower right edge of
the regulatory label. The PoE power supplies are labeled with the model number and an air flow
arrow indicating unit air flow direction on the power supply bottom label.

If you are configuring two or more 7100G-Series chassis for virtual switch bonding, you must
create at least one physical connections between each 7100G-Series chassis using the 40Gb ports. If
you are bonding three or more physical chassis, it is highly recommended that you create a closed
ring configuration by interconnecting the first chassis with the last chassis in the stack. See the
7100-Series Configuration Guide for Virtual Switch Bonding configuration details.

The 7100G-Series switch is cooled by a fan module accessible from the power supply side of the
unit. If the FAN LED and the output of the CLI show system command indicate that the fan
module has failed, you must replace the failed fan module.
Note: The 7100G-Series fan module is hot-swappable. Do not uninstall a failed fan module until its
replacement is available. All 7100G-Series switch components and cover plates must be installed to
ensure proper air flow.
The replacement fan kit, 71A-71GFAN, which you must order separately, contains one
replacement fan.
To replace the failed fan module:
1.Unscrew the two captive screws of the failed fan module as shown in Figure 3-4 on page 3-8.
2.Following the discussion in “Power Supply Air Flow and Switch Fan Module Air Flow” on
page 2-4, ensure that the new fan module air flow direction agrees with the installed 7100GSeries switch configuration.
3.If a non-default air flow is required, see “Reversing the Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-5 for
directions on how to reverse the fan unit direction.
4.Once you have ensured that the fan module air flow is appropriate to your system
configuration, slide the currently installed fan module forward until it is unplugged from the
device as shown in Figure 3-4.

5.Align the new fan module with the fan module opening.
6.Insert the module into the fan module opening, applying enough pressure that the fan module
is flush with the device.
7.Secure the two fan module captive screws.
Removing a Power Supply
To remove a power supply from the 7100G-Series switch:
1.Use appropriate antistatic protection when handling power supplies.
2.If a power cord retention clip is securing the power cord, push down on the retention clip
clamp tab to open the clamp and disengage the power cord from the clamp.
3.Unplug the associated power cord from the AC inlet.
4.Do not remove the power supply in power supply bay PS1 until a replacement power supply
is available.
5.Remove the power supply by simultaneously pressing the power supply lock tab in the
direction specified for your unit in Figure 3-5, grasping the handle, and pulling the power
supply straight out of the 7100G-Series switch.
6.If you are removing the power supply from power supply bay PS2, and you are not
immediately installing another power supply, reinstall the coverplate that comes with the
7100G-Series switch over the empty PS2 power supply bay.
Removing a Power Supply
Caution: If you plan to operate the chassis with only one power supply, the power supply must be
installed in the left power slot labeled PS1 and the coverplate must be in place in the right power
slot to contain EMI radiation and ensure proper air circulation.
Precaución: Si desea trabajar sólo con una fuente de poder, no olvide colocar la tapa en el
compartimiento de la fuente de poder que haya eliminado, para reducir la interferencia

You can shut down a 7100G-Series switch using the OFFLINE/RESET button, shown in Figure 3-6,
which is slightly recessed behind the 7100G-Series switch faceplate. There are two procedures to
shut down a 7100G-Series switch:
•Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
•Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button (This procedure is not
recommended)
Figure 3-6 OFFLINE/RESET Button
1OFFLINE/RESET button
Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
Before shutting off power to a 7100G-Series switch, press or tap on its OFFLINE/RESET button for
less than one second.
The 7100G-Series system CPU LED changes from solid green to blinking between green and
amber, indicating that the 7100G-Series switch is shutting down. At the end of the shutdown
routine, the CPU LED changes to a 67%/33% sequence of amber/off, respectively, indicating the
system is in a halt state. At this time it is safe to restart the 7100G-Series switch.
When you initiate a controlled shutdown with the OFFLINE/RESET button, you have 60 seconds
from the time the CPU LED starts flashing amber/off until the device automatically restarts.
3-10 Troubleshooting
Using the OFFLINE/RESET Button
Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
Caution: This method of shutting down a 7100G-Series switch is not recommended except as a
last resort, because all processes currently running on the 7100G-Series switch will be interrupted
resulting in loss of frames.
Precaución: No se recomienda utilizar este método para apagar los módulos 7100G-Series.
Recurra a él sólo como último recurso, puesto que interrumpe todos los procesos del módulo en

Pluggable Transceiver Specifications
For SFP+ and QSFP+ transceiver specifications, refer to the datasheet at the following URL:
When troubleshooting the 7100G-Series switch it may become necessary to clear the persistent
storage in NVRAM or the system password. There are two methods available:
•Enter boot loader mode during the bootup process
•Manually setting a dip switch internal to the device
This appendix details the two methods available for clearing persistent storage or system
password on the 7100G-Series switch.
Clearing Persistent Storage or Password using the Boot Loader
Method
Persistent storage can be cleared or the system password reset to factory default using the boot
loader by connecting a terminal application to the serial (console) port. Serial console access to the
boot loader has been successfully tested with the following applications:
–HyperTerminal
–TeraTerm
Any other terminal applications may work but are not explicitly supported.
To either clear the 7100G-Series switch persistent storage or only the system password, proceed as
follows:
1.With the console port connected, power up the device. The following message displays:
Boot ROM Initialization, Version 01.00.02

About the Mode Switches
Caution: Read the appropriate sections to be fully aware of the consequences when changing
switch settings.
Only qualified personnel should change switch settings.
Precaución: Si desea modificar la configuración del interruptor, lea las secciones correspondientes
para saber cuál será el resultado de hacerlo.
Estas modificaciones a la configuración sólo debe realizarlas personal calificado.
Figure B-1 on page B-4 shows the locations of the mode switches and the switch settings for
normal operation. These switches are set at the factory and rarely need to be changed. Switches
are numbered 1 through 8 from left to right.
Switch definitions and positions are as follows:
•Switches 1– 6: For Enterasys Networks use only.
•Switch 7: Clear Persistent Data. Changing the position of this switch from the up position to
the down position clears persistent data on the next power-up of the 7100G-Series switch. All
user-entered parameters, such as the IP address, system name, and so on, are reset to the
factory default settings. Once the system resets, you can either use the factory default settings
or reenter your own parameters.
•Switch 8: Clear Admin Password. Changing the position of this switch from the up position to
the down position clears the admin password, and restores the factory default password on
the next power-up of the system. Once the 7100G-Series switch resets, you can either use the
factory default setting or reenter your own password.
Note: Do not change the position of Switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the admin password to
its factory default setting.

Setting the Mode Switches
Before setting the mode switches, you must power down the 7100G-Series switch.
1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and attach it to the ground receptacle on the switch I/O ports side
of the 7100G-Series switch.
2.Remove the fan module from the 7100G-Series switch detailed in steps 1 - 5 of “Replacing the
7100G-Series Fan Module” on page 3-8.
3.Toggle the appropriate switch to the opposite position relative to its current state.
4.Reinstall the fan module detailed in steps 6 - 8 of “Replacing the 7100G-Series Fan Module” on
page 3-8.
Note: Switches 7 and 8 are treated as one time toggle switches. The system looks for a change in
position since the last system reset. If the position of switch 7 has changed since the last reset,
persistent storage will clear on this reboot. If the position of switch 8 has changed since the last
reset, the system password will reset to the default password on this reboot.

Required Order of Installation
1.Remove the rack mount ears from the chassis
2.Attach the adapter plates to the chassis
3.Install the rail assemblies in either a four post rack (see “4-Post Rack Mount Installation” on
page C-5) or a two post rack (see “2-Post Rack Mount Installation” on page C-7)
4.Install the chassis in the rack.
Removing the Rack Mount Ears from the 7100G-Series Chassis
Remove the rack mount ears from both sides of the 7100G-Series chassis before continuing with
the mounting kit installation. See Figure C-1.
Figure C-1 Removing the 7100G-Series Chassis Rack Mount Ears
1Rack mount ear2Rack mount ear screws
The removed rack mount ears and screws are not used in any mounting kit installation
procedures.
Installing the Adapter Plates
Two adapter plates come with the mounting kit. Adapter plates are used to secure the chassis to:
•The rail and extension assemblies used in the 4-post rack configuration (see “Rack Mount Rail
with Attached Extension Assembly Installation” on page C-6)
•The rail and mid-bracket assemblies used in the 2-post rack configuration (see “Pre-
Installation Tasks” on page C-8)
•The adapter plates can be installed in either a flush or a recessed configuration of up to 1.5
inch.
The 7100G-Series chassis can be configured for air intake on either the chassis switch I /O port side
or the power supply side. Adapter plate installation must align the adapter plate ears with the air
intake side of the chassis.
If you have not verified the power supply and fan module air flow for the chassis you are
installing, see “Power Supply Air Flow and Switch Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-4 for
information on determining air flow direction for your chassis before installing the adapter plates.
See “Reversing the Fan Module Air Flow” on page 2-5 if the current fan module air flow direction
does not match the intended chassis air flow direction.
To install the adapter plates:
Note: The side air vents are intentionally covered by the adapter plates in certain mounting
configurations. The 7100G-Series switch cooling design is from front to back, not side to side.
1.Place the adapter plates on each side of the chassis with the ear end toward the air intake side
of the chassis, ear flange pointing away from the chassis. Figure C-2 shows the correct
orientation for a chassis with air flow from switch I/O port side to power supply side.
2.Align either the flush mount adapter plate screw holes (Callout 2) or the appropriate recess
mount adapter plate screw holes with the three chassis screw holes on each side of the chassis.
Callout 3 identifies the screw holes used to recess the chassis by .5, 1.0, or 1.5 inches
Note: When recess mounting, use care that the installation does not result in openings above and
below the chassis face at the inlet side that allow for hot air recirculation from the exhaust side of
the rack or cabinet. This is especially the case for a cabinet with enclosed sides where the cold and
hot aisles are meant to be isolated.
3.Insert and tighten three of the six 6-32 flat head screws that come with the mounting kit in
three places on each side of the chassis.

Overview

About PoE (Power over Ethernet)
This appendix provides an overview of Power over Ethernet technology and how it is
implemented in relation to the 7100G-Series devices.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide operational power through the same
Ethernet cabling to a PD (powered device) connected to a data network. Modern Ethernet
implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This requires a minimum of
two twisted pairs for a single physical link. Both ends of the cable are isolated with transformers
blocking any DC or common mode voltage on the signal pair. PoE exploits this fact by using two
twisted pairs as the two conductors to supply a direct current. One pair carries the power supply
current and the other pair provides a path for the return current. While several proprietary legacy
implementations of PoE have been deployed by LAN equipment vendors, in 2003 the IEEE
published the IEEE 802.3af-2003 specification, which is part of the 802.3 suite of standards.
The 7100G-Series devices that support PoE are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
standards. They support the standard resistor-based detection method, as well as AC disconnect
capability.
Each PD has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the device for power
management purposes. Table D -1 lists the classifications and the associated power ranges based
on the 802.3af standard. This table will be updated with 802.3at class information when the 802.3at
draft is ratified.
Table D-1 Powered Device Classifications

0Default0.44 to 12.95 Watts
1Optional0.44 to 3.84 Watts
2Optional3.84 to 6.49 Watts
3Optional6.49 to 12.95 Watts
4Not AllowedReser ved for Future Use
Proprietary PD Detection
7100G-Series devices support a subset of the currently deployed proprietary PoE methods. This
includes support for Cisco PDs, including a proprietary capacitor based detection scheme.
The PoE port status of each 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port is indicated by the two-color RX and TX
LED display for each port. To observe the PoE port status indications, you must switch the device
from the default RX/ TX status mode to the PoE Port status mode using the red PoE button. PoE
status will be displayed on port LEDs for approximately 30 seconds and then returns to link status
display mode as described in section “LEDs” on page 3-1.
Table D-2PoE LED Status
Rx LEDTx LEDDescription
GreenOffPort is delivering power.
AmberOffConnected device is requesting power.
OffAmberConnected de vice has exceeded power limit or faulted.
OffOffNo PoE on port.
Allocation of PoE Power to Devices
The 7100G-Series firmware determines the power available in the device for PoE based on power
supply status and power supply redundancy mode. The system calculates and reserves the correct
amount of power required by the device and then makes the balance of power available for PoE.
When any change is made to the power supply status or redundancy mode, the firmware
recalculates the power available for PoE.
The power available for PoE is distributed based on the configured allocation mode:
•Automatic mode (default), in which available power is distributed evenly. Any change in
available power, due to a change in power supply status or redundancy mode, will trigger an
automatic redistribution of power.
•Manual mode, in which the power budget is manually configured, using either CLI
commands or the MIBs. The wattage configured cannot exceed the total power available on
the switch for PoE.
The configured wattage assignment is used to calculate the total available PoE power. If the
total available PoE power changes, a redistribution of available power will occur, applying the
calculated percentage.
If the PoE power needed or requested exceeds the power available, the system will generate an
SNMP trap to notify the system manager.
For more information on configuring allocation mode, see the Enterasys 7100G-Series CLI Reference Guide.
Power Distribution Upon Power Supply Removal or Addition
When a power supply is removed, the device responds to the decrease in available power by
doing the following:
1.Detecting the power supply removal and recalculating available power.
2.Subtracting the power capacity for its base system from available power.
3.Distributing remaining power equally for PoE.
4.Dropping support to PoE devices as necessary to stay within the programmed maximum
power.
D-2 About PoE (Power over Ethernet)
When a power supply is added, the device responds to the increase in available power by doing
the following:
1.Detecting the power supply addition and recalculating available power.
2.Subtracting the power capacity for its base system from available power.
3.Distributing remaining power equally for PoE.
Management of PoE Power to PDs
You can configure how the device makes power available to attached powered devices (PDs):
•Real-time mode (default), in which the PoE controller calculates the power needed by a PD
based on the actual power consumption of the attached devices.
•Class mode, in which the PoE controller manages power based on the IEEE 802.3at definition
of the class limits advertised by the attached devices. In this mode, the maximum amount of
power required by a device in the advertised class is reserved for the port, regardless of the
actual amount of power being used by the device.
For more information on configuring power management mode, see the Enterasys 7100G-Series CLI Reference Guide.
Enterasys Networks provides high quality and reliable products. To ensure customer satisfaction
and the continued reliable operation of our products, installation and operation must comply with
the environmental guidelines as described in our product documentation. This document
references limits on operating temperature and humidity. Failure to operate the equipment in
these prescribed ranges can result in reduced performance and damaged equipment. Failure to
comply with these limits and guidelines may void the product warranty and it may also exclude
the equipment from support entitlements of any applicable maintenance contract agreements. The
following information describes these limits and recommendations in further detail.
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
Operating Temperatures
All equipment must operate within the prescribed temperature and humidity ranges specified in
Enterasys documentation. Operation of the equipment outside these limits may result in damaged
equipment and/or reduced performance and reliability. This may require reliable, monitored and
24x7 operation of climate control systems (heating and air conditioning).
E
Inlet Air Temperature Measurement
Operating temperature maximums and minimums are limits on the ambient air temperature
entering the switching equipment. This area is located within 1 inch of the main equipment inlet.
This is not necessarily the same air temperature throughout the room.
Cooling Air
Careful consideration is needed when mounting this equipment. Proper inlet and exit spaces must
be allowed to get fresh, cool air into the equipment and to allow hot exhaust air to exit away from
the equipment. Blocked venting can result in an overheating condition that can damage the
equipment. Pay close attention to cable ingress and egress routing to verify that cabling is not
blocking venting.
Power Conditioning
Enterasys products are rated to be used with internationally accepted AC input parameters. It is
important that these parameters are monitored and verified to operate as expected for the ratings
that apply to the equipment installed. Surges and excessive noise outside of these prescribed
ranges in the power circuits feeding this equipment may cause permanent damage to the
equipment installed and must be monitored and prevented.
Note: The 7100G-Series switch directs air flow from front to back, not side to side.
When placing Enterasys switches into enclosed racks, rack exhaust fans must be considered if the
rack does not contain adequate inlet and exit venting. These fans may be needed to help exhaust
hot air from the rack. They must be sized properly to exhaust the collective volumetric flow from
all equipment within the rack.
Figure E-1 illustrates the ideal configuration for a fully vented closed rack. All panels are vented,
and side-to-side cooled sub-systems are flowing in the same direction.
Cool air ingress through the bottom of the rack must be carefully allowed to enhance overall
system airflow and prevent stagnant air recirculation. This may need to be confirmed through
thermal testing at the installation site.
Figure E-1 Closed Rack Ideal Configuration
Figure Key
E-2 Environmental Guidelines
Blue arrows indicate cool air ingress
Red arrows indicate hot air egress
White arrows indicate airflow through the
system
Airflow Concerns for Open Racks
Note: The 7100G-Series switch directs air flow from front to back, not side to side.
Equipment with different air flow cooling patterns, such as front to back or side to side, can
present special concerns. Recirculation of heated air through equipment is unwanted because it
increases the inlet temperature which causes the equipment components to operate at elevated
temperatures. Likewise, equipment in neighboring racks must be planned to prevent hot air
exhaust from one system being pulled into the inlet of an adjacent system.
Figure E-2 illustrates the ideal configuration for an open rack. All sub-systems flow in the same
direction, as shown by the white arrows.
Figure E-2 Open Rack Ideal Configuration
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
Figure E-3 on page E-4 below shows a non-ideal configuration for an open rack, where sub-
systems with mixed flow directions (white arrows) are combined in one rack. Circular red arrows
show potential for hot air recirculation.
Non-ideal flows should be avoided or mitigated and confirmed through thermal testing.
Figure E-4 below shows a non-ideal open rack configuration containing sub-systems with mixed
flow directions (white arrows). This configuration shows mitigation of potential hot air
recirculation by leaving a gap in the rack population.
Figure E-4 Mitigated Non-ideal Open Rack Configuration
E-4 Environmental Guidelines
Dust Mitigation and Prevention
Figure E-5 below shows another mitigation strategy for open racks containing sub-systems with
mixed flow direction. Mitigation of potential hot air recirculation is achieved by separating unlike
systems with products having front to back airflow patterns.
Figure E-5 Another Mitigated Non-ideal Open Rack Configuration
Dust Mitigation and Prevention
Dust accumulation on inlet and exit venting is not uncommon after prolonged use. In dustier
environments this accumulation can be much quicker.
Enterasys strongly recommends routine maintenance to check for clean inlet and exit vents on this
equipment. Over time, dust accumulation can create vent blockages, thereby decreasing airflow
and increasing component temperatures, resulting in reduced reliability. Recommended
maintenance should start with monthly inspections and be adjusted based on dust accumulation
levels.
