Rack Cooling
The top-of-rack switch is a high-performance, high-density unit that generates a substantial amount of heat. When mounted in a rack with other equipment, it is important that the switch has the same airflow direction to avoid “hot loops” in the data center ailses. Hot loops increase cooling requirements since warm air is drawn into rack devices instead of cool air.
Most rack-mounted blade servers draw cool air from the front and expel hot air at the rear. The top-of-rack switch includes power supply units and a fan tray module that have a front-to-back (F2B) airflow direction that maintains cool ailses in the data center.

How to Install the Switch in a Rack
How to Install the Switch in a Rack
When rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
◆
Rack Types: You can use any standard EIA 19-inch equipment rack with either two or four posts. The bracket hole pattern should be spaced 1U (1.75 in. or
4.45 cm) apart.
◆
Rack Stability: Whenever possible, secure the rack to the building ceiling or floor, particularly if you are located in a region where earthquakes are common.
◆
Rack Planning: When installing equipment in a rack, first plan how units can be best arranged. Try to always mount the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the rack.
◆
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. See
Cooling Requirements” on page 28 .
◆
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
◆
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
◆
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Rack-Mounting Items
Before you start to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following items available:
◆
Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are not included. Be sure to use the rack mounting screws that are supplied with the rack.
◆
A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used).

Switch Cooling Requirements
5.
If installing a single switch only, go to “Power and Grounding” on page 31 .
6.
If installing multiple switches, repeat steps 1 to 4 to mount the switches following your rack plan.
Switch Cooling Requirements
Wherever the switch is located, be sure to pay close attention to switch cooling requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide unrestricted air flow at the front, back, and sides of the switch. If the air flow is insufficient, it may cause the switch to overheat and possibly fail.
The switch includes a removable fan tray module located in the rear of the switch.
The module options may have either a front-to-back (F2B) airflow direction or a back-to-front (B2F) airflow direction. The switch’s plug-in power supply modules also include a fan, which can be either F2B or B2F airflow direction. For proper switch cooling, all installed modules must have a matching airflow direction.
The following figure shows the airflow through the switch.

Chapter 3
| Switch Chassis
Switch Cooling Requirements
Rack Cooling
When mounting the switch in an enclosed rack or cabinet, be sure to check the following guidelines to prevent overheating:
◆
Make sure that enough cool air can flow into the enclosure for the equipment it contains.
◆
Check that the rack or cabinet allows the hot air to exit the enclosure (normally from the top) without circulating back into equipment.
◆
If the enclosure has sides or doors with ventilation holes, make sure they are not blocked by cables or other obstructions.
◆
Route cables within the rack or cabinet to maximize the air flow.
◆
When possible, do not completely fill the rack or cabinet with equipment, allow some unused space within the enclosure for better air flow.
Fan Tray Module
The fan tray module is an important part of the switch air cooling system. A fan tray module must be installed in the switch at all times. If a fan should fail, the whole fan tray module must be replaced as soon as possible.
You must install the fan tray module in the switch that matches the airflow direction of the installed power supply units. The available fan tray modules are listed below:
◆
AS5600S-FANTRAY (front-to-back airflow)
◆
AS5600SR-FANTRAY (back-to-front airflow)
Caution:
The switch includes plug-in power supply and fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. All installed modules must have a matching airflow direction. That is, all modules must have a front-to-back (F2B) airflow direction, or all modules must have a back-to-front (B2F) airflow direction. The airflow direction of PSUs and fan trays is indicated by labels on the modules.
The removable fan tray, located in the rear of the switch, includes four fixed fans and supports fan speed control. The fan speed is dynamically controlled as a function of temperature: the higher the internal temperature, the faster the speed of the fans. The fan tray module does not include LED indicators.

◆
“How to Connect to AC Power” on page 34
Power Supply Modules
The switch supports hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs). You can install up to two PSUs with matching airflow direction in the switch. The PSUs operate in a load-sharing mode and provide 1+1 redundancy.
Note:
1+1 redundancy is a system where a switch power supply is backed up by another switch power supply in a load-sharing mode. If one power supply fails, the other power supply takes over the full load of the switch.
The switch provides two AC power supply module options, which are listed below:
◆
AS5600S-ACPWR (front-to-back airflow)
◆
AS5600SR-ACPWR (back-to-front airflow)
Caution:
The switch includes plug-in power supply and fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. All installed modules must have a matching airflow direction.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records
Cable Labeling and Connection Records
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines:
◆
Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.
◆
Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all networkconnected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected.
◆
Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports.
◆
For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable labeling.
◆
Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.
◆
Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.
◆
Label each separate piece of equipment.
◆
Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all abbreviations at each equipment rack.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The
Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing
Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3-2008 standards.

DAC Connections
Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a method of connecting two SFP+/QSFP+ interfaces without using optics and fiber cable. A fixed length of twinax copper cable is terminated at each end with physically-compliant SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers that do not include all their normal electronic and optical components. The result is a low cost, low-latency, 10G/40G Ethernet solution for short distances, ideal for connections within the data center.
A 10G DAC connection is also known as twinax copper or 10GBASE-CR. DAC copper cables are available in pre-terminated lengths up to 7 m (22.9 ft).
For 40G DAC, or 40GBASE-CR4, copper cables are also available in pre-terminated lengths up to 7 m (22.9 ft).

Switch Management
The switch includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web browser, or SNMP-based network management software.
The switch’s Managementt port (RJ-45) provides a dedicated management channel that operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to reconfigure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote connection to the Management port when access through the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.

Action
◆
◆
Check connections between the PSU, the power cord and the wall outlet.
Contact your dealer for assistance.
Power cycle the PSU to try and clear the condition.
Replace the PSU.
Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition.
If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance.
Check fans in the fan tray.
Replace the fan tray as soon as possible.
◆
◆
Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device.
Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
Check the attached device and cable connections for possible defects. Replace the defective cable if necessary.
System Self-Diagnostic Test Failure
If the Diag LED indicates a failure of the system power-on-self-test (POST), you can use a console connection to view the POST results. The POST results may indicate a failed component or help troubleshoot the problem. For more information on connecting to the console port and using the CLI, refer to the Administrator’s Guide.
Note a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be rectified or worked around. If you encounter a POST failure, you should contact your dealer for assistance.

Power and Cooling Problems
If a power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or PSU. However, if the switch powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the PSU may be defective.
Installation
Chapter A
| Troubleshooting
Power and Cooling Problems
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
In-Band Access
You can access the management agent in the switch through a connection to any port using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management software tools.
However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the switch port has not been disabled.
If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.
