Electrostatic discharge

This section provides information and procedures for the prevention of electrostatic discharge during the installation process.

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. These electrostatic voltages can result from friction, including, but not exclusive to, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building up of static charge in clothing. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

While networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events, voltage sometimes can be discharged to some connector pins but not others, or to some pins before others, which has the potential to damage the networking equipment.

To protect the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch against ESD damage, take the following preventive measures before connecting any data cables to the device:

• Always use anti-static wrist straps. Make sure the strap is adjusted to provide good skin contact.

• Ensure that work surfaces and equipment racks are properly grounded for protection against electrostatic discharge. The common point must be connected to the building ground wire. In a properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.

• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Avoid touching any connector pins.

• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.

Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations

With new cable installations, Nortel recommends that the use of an ESD discharge cable to reduce the potential for damage from static that can build up in cables. An example of such a cable is illustrated below.

Environmental requirements 17

ESD cable example

To install the ESD discharge cable:

Step Action

Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable earth ground.

Briefly connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of the ESD discharge cable, then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to the switch.

Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. Once cables are connected to networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.

Setting IP parameters using the UI button

IP parameters can also be set by using the front panel User Interface (UI) button. This allows for switch configuration without the need for a Console connection.

Depending on the state of the switch, applying IP parameters in this manner will result in either the parameters being applied to the switch itself or to a switch stack. When the unit is in a stack, the UI button on any unit of the stack can be used to set the IP parameters. Ensure however that performing this procedure does not result in duplicate IP addresses on the network. If the default IP configuration is set, any change to the configured

IP address or subnet mask through the other user interfaces will cause the

In-Use IP configuration of the switch or stack to change. Therefore, the newly configured IP address must be used to manage the switch or stack.

If the unit is being reset using the UI button, wait for 60 seconds after the last configuration change. The system takes up to 60 seconds to save the configuration changes to NVRAM.

The stack can be reset immediately after changing the configuration by using the UI button without losing any of the changed configuration.

Note 1: The UI button may be used at any time to change the In-Use

IP address and subnet mask of the switch. It overrides the current

In-Use IP address and subnet mask, if any, regardless of the BootP mode settings for the switch or stack.

Note 2: If there is a change in the switch state, that is, if it joins or leaves a stack after the default IP configuration is set, the In-Use IP configuration will change, and must be set again using the UI button.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series Stack Configuration

The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series provides the capability for fail-safe stackability. Up to eight 5500 Series devices can be connected in a stack to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up to 384 ports. This stack is managed as a single unit.

Stack connector

The stack connector is a component of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch

5500 Series back panel and consists of the Unit Select switch, Cascade

Down connector, and Cascade Up connector. The stack connector is illustrated in the following diagram.

Stack connector

Unit Select switch

The Unit Select switch is used to designate a switch in the stack as the base

unit. Sliding the switch to the right designates that switch as the base unit.

Only one switch in a stack may have the Unit Select switch in the base unit position. All other switches in the stack must have the Unit Select switch in the left position.

A switch’s base unit designation is also displayed on the front panel LED display.

Cascade Down connector

The Cascade Down connector is used to connect this switch to the next unit in the stack through a cascade cable. A connection from this connector must be attached to the Cascade Up connector of the next switch in the stack. A return cable from another unit’s Cascade Down connector to this unit’s Cascade Up connector completes the stack connection.

Note: To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Nortel

Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. These cables are not provided with the switch. For stacking three or more units (maximum 8 units per stack), order the 3 foot cascade max-return cable (order number AL2018009).

Cascade Up connector

The Cascade Up connector provides an attachment point for accepting a cascade cable connection from another unit in the stack. A return cable from this unit’s Cascade Down connector to the adjacent unit’s Cascade

Up connector completes the stack connection.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series Stack Configuration 55

Initial installation

During the initial installation of the stack, the software automatically determines the physical order of all units in the stack according to the position of the base unit within the stack. Thereafter, the individual units maintain their original unit numbering, even if the position of one or more units in the stack is changed.

For example, when the stack is initially powered, the base unit becomes unit

1 and the unit that the base unit connects to (via the Cascade Down cable) becomes unit 2 (and the next unit is unit 3 and so on), until the maximum stack configuration (up to 8 units) is reached. If the base unit is changed to another unit in the stack, the new base unit keeps its original unit number in the stack.

Stack MAC address

When a switch participates in a stack configuration, a stack MAC address is automatically assigned during stack initialization. The stack MAC address is the base unit MAC address plus 1. If another unit in the stack is assigned as the base unit, the new stack MAC address is the MAC address of the new base unit plus 1. The original stack IP address still applies to the new base unit.

Temporary base unit

If an assigned base unit fails, the next unit in the stack order automatically becomes the new temporary base unit. This change is indicated by the

Base LED on the temporary base unit LED display panel moving to a steady amber state.

This automatic failover is a temporary safeguard only. If the stack configuration loses power, the temporary base unit will not power up as the base unit when power is restored. Also, if the original unit rejoins the stack, it will not resume base unit status. For this reason, always assign the temporary base unit as the base unit until the failed unit is repaired or replaced.

Note: If the temporary base unit is not assigned as the new base unit, and the temporary base unit fails, the next unit in the stack order becomes the temporary base unit. This process will continue after successive failures until only two units are left in the stack.

Removing a stack unit

If a unit is removed from the stack (therefore operating in standalone mode), the following switch configuration settings revert to those configured before the unit became a member of the stack:

• IP address

• Console, Web, Telnet, and SNMP passwords

• SNMP community strings

Replacing a stack unit

Note: Use only the console interface, command line interface, or

Web-based management system to replace or insert units in the stack.

To replace a failed stack unit or insert a new unit into a stack, follow this procedure:

Step Action

Upload a copy of the stack configuration file to a TFTP server.

Since unit failure is not a predictable situation, it is suggested that the stack configuration file is backed up regularly to a TFTP server.

Obtain the new switch.

Ensure that the new switch is set to factory default values. This new unit will be configured in standalone mode before inserting it into the stack.

Download the configuration file to the new unit.

Download the stack configuration file produced in step 1. The new unit will extract the relevant configuration information.

Set the unit number.

After the configuration file has been downloaded to the new unit, specify the stack unit that this new unit will replace. The switch will reboot with the stack configuration information.

Physically insert the new unit.

Turn off the new unit and physically replace the failed unit in the stack. Complete the cabling to attach the new unit to the stack and turn on the new unit.

—End—

If the base unit is being replaced, remember that the stack will have elected a temporary base unit. The new unit will not automatically assume the base unit status. Configure the new unit as the base unit using either the Unit

Select switch or UI button and reset the stack to make the new unit the base unit.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series Stack Configuration 57

Stack configurations

Due to stack parameters being associated with the base unit, the physical stack order depends on the base unit position and whether the stack is configured cascade up (stack up) or cascade down (stack down). This designation depends on the stack cabling arrangement.

The system automatically numbers the physical units based on the designated base unit (Unit 1). In a cascade down configuration, the base unit is physically located as the top unit in the stack. The cable connected to the Cascade Down connector of the base unit terminates in the Cascade Up connector on the next unit in the stack which is physically located below the base unit. This next unit is designated Unit 2. The stack is wired downward through the units and the system continues to number in this manner throughout the stack. In this configuration, the base unit discovers the stack in a cascade down (stack down) direction. The following illustration demonstrates a cascade down (stack down) configuration.

In a cascade up (stack up) configuration, the base unit is physically located as the top unit in the stack. The cable connected to the Cascade

Down connector of the base unit terminates in the Cascade Up connector physically located at the bottom of the stack. This next unit is designated Unit

2. The stack is wired upward through the units and the system continues to number in this manner throughout the stack. In this configuration, the base unit discovers the stack in a cascade up (stack up) direction. The following illustration demonstrates a cascade up (stack up) configuration.

Regardless of stack configuration, the following applies:

• When power is applied to the stack the base unit initializes, typically within sixty seconds, and the entire stack powers up as a single logical unit.

• A RS-232 communications cable can be attached to the console port of any switch in the stack to establish a console connection.

• A software upgrade can be performed on the stack from any switch using the console interface, a Telnet session, the Web-based management interface, or any SNMP-based management software.

• The stack can be managed using a Telnet session, Web-based management interface, or any SNMP-based management software through any stack switch port.

• When stacking two or more switches. use the three foot cascade max-return cable (part number AL2018009) to complete the link from the last unit in the stack to the base unit.

The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series allows a stack of up to 8 units into a dual-path cascade stack. If any single unit fails or if a cable is accidently disconnected, other units in the stack remain operational without interruption.

In addition to increasing bandwidth, the software uses the cables to provide two paths between units. If one path breaks the data travels over the remaining path with half the normal inter-switch bandwidth.

The following diagram shows an example of how a stack configuration reacts to a failed connection in the stack configuration. In the illustrated example, the following is occurring:

• Unit 3 becomes non-operational due to a unit failure, cable disconnection, or a loss of power.

• Units 2 and 4, directly upstream and downstream from Unit 3, sense the loss of link signals from unit 3. The software causes all the data to traverse the remaining path.

• The Cascade Down LED for Unit 2 and the Cascade Up LED for Unit 4 turn amber to indicate an error has been detected.

• The remaining stack units continue to be connected.

CAUTION

When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are not designed to support multiple units.

ATTENTION

Achtung:

Wenn diese Einheit in einem Rack montiert wird, muß ein gewisser Abstand zur nächsten Einheit gelassen werden. Jede Einheit muß mit geeignetem

Befestigungsmaterial gesichert werden. Das Befestigungsmaterial ist nicht für die gleichzeitige Befestigung mehrerer Einheiten geeignet.

ATTENTION

si vous installez le module dans une baie, ne l’empilez pas directement sur un autre. Chaque module doit être fixé à sa propre baie à l’aide des supports de montage appropriés. Ces supports ne sont pas conçus pour résister à plusieurs modules.

ATTENTION

Precautión:

Cuando monte este dispositivo en un bastidor, no apile las unidades directamente una encima de otra. Cada unidad debe fijarse en el bastidor con las abrazaderas de montaje adecuadas. Las abrazaderas de montaje no están diseñadas para sostener varias unidades.

ATTENTION

se il dispositivo viene installato in un rack, non impilare le unità direttamente una sull’altra. Ogni unità deve essere fissata al rack con le staffe di montaggio appropriate. Le staffe di montaggio non sono state progettate per supportare più unità.

CAUTION

If you are not installing a module in the slot, be sure to keep the metal cover plate in place over the slot. Removing the cover plate impedes airflow and proper cooling of the unit.

ATTENTION

Achtung:

Wenn Sie kein Modul im Schacht verwenden, muß die Metallabdeckung über dem Schacht montiert sein. Eine Entfernung der Abdeckung führt zu einer

Verschlechterung der Luftzirkulation und damit zu einer nicht ausreichenden

Kühlung der Einheit.

ATTENTION

si vous n’installez pas le module dans une baie, veillez à laisser la plaque métallique sur la baie. Si vous la retirez, l’aération du module ne peut pas s’effectuer correctement.

ATTENTION

Precaution:

Si no instala ningún módulo en la ranura, asegúrese de mantener la placa de la cubierta de metal en la misma. Si la retira, impedirá que el aire circule y la unidad se refrigere adecuadamente.

ATTENTION

Attenzione: se nello slot non vengono installati moduli, assicurarsi di mantenere la piastra di copertura metallica in sede sopra lo slot. La rimozione della piastra impedisce la ventilazione e il corretto raffreddamento dell’unità.

ATTENTION

Advertencia:

Para apagar el dispositivo debe desenchufar el cable. Conecte siempre el cable de alimentación a una toma segura y de fácil acceso por si se produjera alguna situación de emergencia.

ATTENTION

Avviso: l’unico modo per disattivare questo dispositivo consiste nello scollegare il cavo di alimentazione. Collegare sempre il cavo di alimentazione ad una presa che sia facilmente e rapidamente accessibile in caso di emergenza.

DANGER

ATTENTION

Vorsicht:

Verwenden Sie nur Netzkabel mit Schutzerdung. Ohne ordnungsgemäße

Schutzerdung besteht für Personen, die den Switch berühren, die Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages. Eine nichtvorhandene Schutzerdung kann zu sehr starken

Abstrahlungen führen.

DANGER

n’utilisez que des cordons d’alimentation équipés de trajet de mise

à la terre. Sans mise à la terre adaptée, vous risquez de recevoir une décharge électrique en touchant le commutateur. Par ailleurs, l’absence de trajet de mise à la terre peut générer des émissions excessives.

ATTENTION

Peligro:

Utilice únicamente cables de alimentación con toma de tierra. De lo contrario, al tocar el interruptor puede recibir una descarga eléctrica. Si no hay un circuito de toma de tierra en el enchufe, puede producirse un exceso de emisiones.

ATTENTION

Pericolo: utilizzare esclusivamente cavi di alimentazione dotati di un percorso per la messa a terra. Senza un’adeguata messa a terra, chiunque tocchi lo switch corre il rischio di ricevere una scossa elettrica. L’assenza di un percorso per la messa a terra verso lo switch può comportare un eccesso di emissioni.
