Introduction to Arctica Ethernet Switch Systems
Overview
Penguin Computing Arctica 1U switch systems are an ideal spine and Top of Rack (ToR) solution,
allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port, and port
density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. The uplink ports allow a variety
of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement. Powered by the Spectrum ASIC, the systems
carry whopping switching and processing capacities in a compact 1U form factor.
Keeping with the Penguin Computing tradition of setting performance record switch systems, the
Spectrum based systems introduce the world’s lowest latency for 100GbE switching and routing
elements—while having the lowest power consumption in the market. They enable the use of 10, 25,
40, 50 and 100GbE in a large scale without changing power infrastructure facilities.
The Spectrum based switch systems are a part of Penguin Computing’s complete end-to-end solution,
which provides 10GbE through 100GbE interconnectivity within the data center. These systems
introduce hardware capabilities for multiple tunneling protocols that enable increased reachability
and scalability for today’s data centers. Implementing MPLS, NVGRE and VXLAN tunneling
encapsulations in the network layer of the data center allows more flexibility for terminating a tunnel
by the network, in addition to termination on the server endpoint.
While Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that powers the switch systems, they get yet
another angle of capabilities, running with a powerful x86-based processor, which allows them to not
only be the highest performing switch fabric elements, but also grants them the ability to incorporate
a Linux running server into the same device. This opens up multiple application aspects of utilizing the
high CPU processing power and the best switching fabric, to create a powerful machine with unique
appliance capabilities that can improve numerous network implementation paradigms.
The Spectrum™ based 1U switch systems support the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for
zero touch installations of network operating systems. All Ethernet systems can be purchased
preloaded with Cumulus Linux.

Mount the system into the rack
Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention
to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options.
While planning how to place the system, consider the two installation options shown in the figure
below, and review the following points:
• Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is import- ant
to keep the airflow within the rack in the same direction.
• Note that the part of the system to which you choose to attach the rails (the front panel
direction, as demonstrated in Option 1 or the FRUs direction, as demonstrated in Option
• 2) will determine the system’s adjustable side. The system’s part to which the brackets are
attached will be adjacent to the cabinet.
• The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the rack brackets inverted to the FRU side (Option 2)
will allow you to slide the FRUs, in and out.

Figure 15: Rails Separation
To separate the rails, follow these steps:
1. Extend the rail assembly by pulling the extension outwards (D).
2. Extract rail A from rail C by pushing it outside from the rear part of the assembly. To allow
complete separation of rail A from rail C, press the quick-release latch.
Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention
to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options.
While planning how to place the system, review the following points:
• Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is import- ant
to keep the airflow within the rack in the same direction.
• In case there are cables that cannot bend within the rack, or in case more space is needed for
cable bending radius, it is possible to recess the connector side or the FRU side by 3” or 4”
(7.62 or 10.16cm) by optional placement of the system’s rails.
• The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the sliding rail inverted to the system will allow you to
slide the FRU side of the system, in and out.
Follow these steps:
Step 1. Install 10 cage nuts into the desired 1U slots of the rack: 4 cage nuts in the non-extractable
side and 6 cage nuts in the extractable side.
Rev. 1.0 Penguin Computing

Step 2. Mount both of the outer rails (C+D) into the rack (as shown in the figure below), and then use
8 standard pan-head screws (E) to fix them to the rack. Do not tighten the screws yet.
Figure 17: Mounting the Outer Rails into the Rack
Step 3. If cable accommodation is required, route the power cable and/or Eth cable through either of
the outer rails.
Step 4. Attach the switch to the left and right inner rails (A+B), by gently pushing the switch chassis
pins through the slider key holes, until locking occurs.

Removing the System from the Rack
Follow these steps to remove a unit from the rack:
Step 1. Turn off the system and disconnect it from peripherals and from the electrical outlet.
Step 2. Unscrew the two M6 screws securing the front of the inner rails’ ears to the outer rails and to
the rack.
Step 3. Pull the unit out until braking is felt. For safety purposes, the locking mechanism will not allow
a complete removal of the unit at this stage.

Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention
to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options.
While planning how to place the system, consider the two installation options shown in the figure
below, and review the following points:
• Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is import- ant
to keep the airflow within the rack in the same direction.
• Note that the part of the system to which you choose to attach the rails (the front panel
direction, as demonstrated in Option 1 or the FRUs direction, as demonstrated in Option 2,
will determine the system’s adjustable side. The system’s part to which the blades are
attached, will be adjacent to the cabinet.
• In case there are cables that cannot bend within the rack, or in case more space is needed for
cable bending radius, it is possible to recess the connector side or the FRU side by 3.5" (8.9
cm), by optional placement of the system’s rails.
• The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the rack blades inverted to the FRU side (Option 2) will
allow you to slide the FRUs, in and out.

Follow these steps:
Step 1. Attach the left and right rack mount rails (A) to the switch, and then secure the chassis in the
rails by screwing 2 flat head Phillips screws (D) in the designated points on each side (a total of 4
screws). See the figure below. To tighten the screws, use a torque of 1.5±0.2 Nm.
Figure 25: Attaching the Rails to the Chassis
Step 2. Install 8 cage nuts (C) in the desired 1U slots of the rack: 4 cage nuts in the non-extractable
side and 4 cage nuts in the extractable side. Note that while each rack U (unit) consists of three holes,
the cage nut should be installed vertically with its ears engaging the top and bot- tom holes only. See
the figure below.

QSFP28 Port LEDs
Figure 60: Arctica
1600cs Port LEDs
In the Arctica 4808xs systems, the status of each pair of adjacent QSFP28 ports is indicated by four
LEDs, as shown in the picture above:
•
While the bottom LEDs signify the port status in regular condition, the upper LEDs operate
only when the port is split.
•
When one port is split to two, a connection of 100GbE can be utilized in its adjacent port.
•
When one port is split to four, it adjacent port is cancelled.
•
If the ports run at a 100GbE/40GbE speed each, the two lower LEDs (2 and 4) will light green.
•
If the ports run at a 50GbE speed each, the left LEDs (1 and 2) will light green for the upper
port, and the right LEDs (3 and 4) will light green for the lower port.
•
If the ports run at a 25GbE/10GbE speed each, all LEDs may light green, according to the
selected lane.

Inventory Information
System inventory parameters (such as Serial Number, Part Number, GUID and MAC address) can be
extracted from the inventory pull-out tab on the lower right side of the front panel. In some systems,
there is no pull-out tab, and the information is provided on labels in several locations.

Software Management
There are three thermal threshold definitions for the switch device which impact the overall switch
system operation state:
•
Warning – 105°C: On managed systems only: When the device crosses the 100°C threshold, a
Warning Threshold message will be issued by the management SW, indicating to system
administration that the switch has crossed the Warning threshold. Note that this temperature
threshold does not require nor lead to any action by hardware (such as switch shutdown).
•
Critical – 120°C: When the device crosses this temperature, the firmware will automatically
shut down the device.
•
Emergency – 130°C: In case the firmware fails to shut down the device upon crossing the
Critical threshold, the device will auto-shutdown upon crossing the Emergency (130°C)
threshold.
