Reset button

The Reset button is recessed within a hole on the front panel. Use a straightened paper clip or similar object to press the Reset button. The Reset button allows technicians to reset the switch, as follows:

v Press Reset: The switch resets and reloads the configuration files. v Press and hold Reset for five seconds: The switch resets and configures all

settings to factory defaults.

Fans

Four internal hot-swap fan modules cool the switch unit. If an individual fan module fails, the other fans continue to run, and the switch unit continues to operate normally. You can replace a hot-swap fan module while the switch is operating.

Fan operation and internal temperatures are monitored. If the air temperature exceeds a desired threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages.

Note: If a fan fails, the maximum operating temperature drops from 40⁰ Cto35⁰ C

(104⁰ Fto95⁰ F).

Attention: The Service(!)LEDflashes and the Fan LED flashes if there is a failure of one or more fan modules. The failed fan module LED (rear panel) flashes to indicate a failure.

Chapter 1. Introduction 5

AC power supply

The RackSwitch has two hot-swap redundant AC power supplies. The Rackswitch uses a 550 W power supply for front-to-rear air flow and a 750 W power supply for rear-to-front air flow. Each power supply has an individual IEC 320 C14 power connector on the rear panel. The power cord attaches to a universal grounded AC power source. You can replace a hot-swap power supply module without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

DANGER

Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. Do not open any cover or barrier that contains this label.

(L001)

Each power supply can be connected to a separate AC circuit to mitigate the risk of down time during a power failure. When used in a redundant configuration, the dual power supplies have a load-sharing capability that enables each power supply to operate at approximately 50% of full load. Using redundant power can minimize the power disruption during a power supply failure and extend the expected lifetime of each power supply by operating normally in a conservative power mode.

Switch ports

There is no power switch on the RackSwitch; the switch unit powers up when power is supplied through the power cords.

The Power Supply LED indicates the status of the power supplies. The LED flashes when only one power cord is connected, and is steady when both power cords are connected.

The RackSwitch switch ports and port options are described in the following sections.

QSFP+ ports

Thirty-two 40 GbE QSFP+ ports are located on the front panel. These ports accept supported optical QSFP+ transceivers or direct attach cables (DACs). The supported transceivers interoperate with any 40GBASE-SR4 compliant device, and support distances up to 100 meters on OM3 fiber. Transceivers must be purchased separately.

The QSFP+ ports support one 40 GbE connection, or four 10 GbE connections, using a breakout cable (on ports 2 to 25) or QSFP+ optical transceiver with MTP-to-4 LC (SFP+) fiber breakout cable. This option supports only IBM 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceivers. The 40GBASE-SR4 specification (802.3ba-2010) indicates a higher optical power level than standard 10GBASE-SR. SFP+ SR transceivers can handle the higher optical power levels.

6 IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8332: Installation Guide

The QSFP+ connectors on supported breakout DACs are labelled A, B, C, and D, which correspond to the first, second, third, and fourth ports in the port range.

For the available QSFP+ transceivers and DACs for the switch, see https://www-01.ibm.com/products/hardware/configurator/americas/bhui/launchNI.wss.
