Site Planning, Preparation, and Specifications

Page 9 of 21

S6860-24CD8D Switch Hardware Guide

Site Guidelines and Requirements
The equipment must be installed indoors for normal operation and prolonged service life. The following sections provide specific information to help you plan for a proper operating environment.

Floor Loading
· Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the chassis is capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all the other components.
Airflow
· To ensure adequate airflow through the chassis, maintain a minimum clearance of 20 cm (7.87 in.) around air vents. Route the cables and power cords through the cable management brackets to avoid blocking air intake vents. Dust the equipment every three months to prevent blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.
Space
· You are advised to have a pathway of 0.8 meters (2.62 ft.) wide in the equipment room. This space ensures that you can remove the components and perform routing maintenance easily.
· The front and rear of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis.
Temperature
To ensure normal operation and prolonged service life of the equipment, maintain an appropriate temperature in the equipment room. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.
· A high temperature can accelerate the aging process of insulation materials, greatly reducing the availability of the equipment and severely affecting its service life.
For the device’s operating temperature requirements, please refer to the product datasheet.
Note:
The operating temperature is measured at the point that is 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) above the floor and 0.4 m (1.31 ft.) before the equipment with no protective plates in front or at the back of the equipment.
Humidity
To ensure normal operation and prolonged service life of the equipment, maintain an appropriate humidity in the equipment room. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.
· In an environment with a high relative humidity, the insulating material is prone to poor insulation or even electricity leakage. · In an environment with a low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, resulting in screw loosening. Furthermore,
internal circuits are prone to static electricity.
For the device’s operating humidity requirements, please refer to the product datasheet.
Note:
The operating humidity is measured at the point that is 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) above the floor and 0.4 m (1.31 ft.) before the equipment with no protective plates in front or at the back of the equipment.
Cleanliness
The indoor dust takes on a positive or negative static electric charge when falling on the switch, causing poor contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adhesion may occur more easily when the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life of the switch, but also causing communication faults. The following table lists the requirements for the dust and particles in the equipment room:
Table 13. Dust and Particle Requirement

Minimum Dust and Particle Diameter 0.5 m 5 m

Unit particles/m³ particles/m³

Maximum Quantity 3.5 × 10 3.0 × 10³

Page 10 of 21

S6860-24CD8D Switch Hardware Guide

Apart from dust, there are also requirements on the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air of the equipment room. These harmful substances will accelerate metal corrosion and component aging. Therefore, the equipment room should be properly protected against harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The following table lists limits on harmful gases.
Table 14. Gas Requirement

Gas
Sulfur Dioxide (SO) Hydrogen Sulfide (HS) Chlorine (Cl) Nitrogen Oxides (NO)

Average mg/m³ 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.5

cm³/m³ 0.11 0.071 0.034 0.26

Maximum (mg/m³) mg/m³ 1.0 0.5 0.3 1.0

cm³/m³ 0.37 0.36 0.1 0.52

Note:The average value is measured over one week. The maximum value is the upper limit of the harmful gas measured in one week for up to 30 minutes every day.

System Grounding
A reliable grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable operation, which is indispensable for preventing lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the site situation.
· Safety Grounding
Ensure that the rack and power distribution system are securely grounded. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur when the insulation resistance between the power module and the chassis becomes small.
Note:The building should provide a protective ground connection to ensure that the equipment is connected to a protective earth.
· Lightning Grounding
The surge protection system is an independent system consisting of a lightning rod, a downlead conductor, and a connector connected to the grounding system. The grounding system is usually used for power reference grounding and safety grounding of the rack. · EMC Grounding
Grounding for the EMC design includes shielded grounding, filter grounding, noise, interference suppression, and level reference. The grounding resistance should be smaller than 1-ohm. Connect the grounding terminal to the ground before operating the equipment. There is one grounding studs in the lower left corner of the rear panel. It’s pasted with a conspicuous label.

Page 11 of 21

S6860-24CD8D Switch Hardware Guide

Preventing Electromagnetic Interference
Electromagnetic interference mainly comes from outside the equipment or application system and affects the equipment through capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic waves, and other conduction modes.
· Interference prevention measures should be taken for the power supply system. · Keep the equipment far away from the grounding facility and surge protector facility of the power device. · Keep the equipment far away from high-frequency current devices such as high-power radio transmitting stations and radar
launchers. · Take electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary.
Surge Protection
Although the equipment can guard against lightning strikes, strong lightning strikes may still damage the equipment. Take the following surge protection measures:
· Ensure that the grounding wire of the rack is in good close contact with the ground. · Ensure that the neutral point of the AC power socket is in close contact with the ground. · You are advised to install a power arrester in front of the power input end to enhance surge protection for the power supply.

Install a Transceiver
Before you install a transceiver in a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary preCautions for safe handling of lasers.
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
The transceivers for FS devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs). You can remove and replace the transceivers without powering off the device or disrupting the device’s functions.
To install a QSFP56, QSFP-DD transceiver:
Wrap and fasten one end of an ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to the ESD point on the switch. Verify that a rubber safety cap covers the QSFP56, QSFP-DD transceiver. Position the transceiver in front of the port on the device so that the QSFP56, QSFP-DD connector faces the port. Slide the transceiver into the port until the locking pins lock in place. If there is resistance, remove the transceiver and flip it so that the connector faces the other direction. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable, and insert the cable into the transceiver.
Laser Warning: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
Caution:Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.
If there is a cable management system, arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent the cable from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it does not support its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
Caution:Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Caution:Avoid bending the fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.

Connect the S5860-20SQ to External Devices
Connect a Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end. You can monitor and manage a network device, such as a router or a switch, by using a dedicated management channel. Each device has a management port to which you can connect an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector. Use the management port to connect the device to the management device. To connect a device to a network for out-of-band management:
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port on the device. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.

Connect a Device to a Management Console Using an RJ-45 Connector
You can configure and manage your network devices through a dedicated management channel, using the console port available on each device. Connect the PC to the device’s console port using a console cable, as shown in the image below.

Post-Installation Checks
Note: · Before checking the installation, ensure that all power is turned off and disconnected to prevent personal injury and damage to the switch components.
· The external power supply matches the power distribution system. · The front and rear doors of the rack can close properly after installation has been completed. · The rack has been completely fastened, which will not move or tilt. · The chassis has been mounted on the rack and all cables have been fastened to the rack. · Select the proper fan module and tighten captive screws. · Select the proper power module. · The power module is completely seated in the slot. · At least two personnel are required to power on the chassis. Do not service the chassis before it is powered off. · Carefully check your work area for possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing safety grounds, and moist
floors. · Do not subject the equipment to dampness and avoid liquid inside the equipment. · Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room. In the case of an electrical accident, you will be able to quickly turn off the power. · Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Instead, always check. · The power cord is plugged into the power module and retained there. · The power cord is long enough to avoid over-extension. · The power socket is connected to the earth ground as required with a rated current of at least 10 A. · Each power module receives power from a power socket. · If a slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel to allow for adequate airflow and to keep dust out of the chassis.

Connect and Configure S6860-24CD8D
The initial configuration of the switch requires the user to connect the terminal or computer to the switch’s console port. Once the user accesses the switch and establishes the CLI (Command Line Interface) through a serial console connection, an IP address is assigned to the management port, and an IP route to the gateway is created. Keep in mind the following points:
· The console port provides local serial access to the switch. · The Ethernet management port is used for out-of-band network management tasks. Before using the management port for the first
time, you must assign an IP address to the port. Before configuring the device for the first time, you need to access it via the console port. The console port is located at the front of the switch. You can connect a terminal or a computer to the console port using a serial or RS-232 cable. Port Settings Use the following port settings to connect the terminal or computer to the switch console port:

Baud rate: 115200 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1
· The default width for terminal sessions through the console port is 80 characters. This means that the terminal client’s width should be at least 80 characters for proper use of the console port. Most terminal clients have a default width of 80 characters.
Once initial access to the switch is obtained, the user needs to configure the management IP address and default gateway in either L2/L3 mode or OVS mode. This section explains the configuration in L2/L3 mode. The management IP address is used for maintaining and managing the device. You can configure a static IP address for the management interface eth0, or you can dynamically assign the address via DHCP. If a static IP address is not assigned, the system will default to attempting to obtain the management port IP address dynamically from the DHCP server.
Note:When switching from OVS mode to L2/L3 mode, the static IP address of the management port configured before will still be used if there is no user configuration for it in the new mode.
Step 1: Set static IP addresses for the management interface eth0.
set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-address {IPv4 | IPv6} <ip_address>
Note: · If the static IP address is not assigned, the system will try to dynamically obtain the management port IP address from the DHCP server, which is also the factory setting.
Step 2: Set the gateway address for the management interface eth0.
set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-gateway {IPv4 | IPv6} <ip_address>
Step 1: Set static IP addresses for the management interface eth0.
admin@Xorplus# set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-address IPv4 192.168.10.5/24
Step 2: Set the gateway address for the management interface eth0.
admin@Xorplus# set system management-ethernet eth0 ip-gateway IPv4 192.168.10.1
Step 3: Commit the configuration.
admin@XorPlus# commit
Step 4: Verify the configuration. · Run run show system management-ethernet command to view the configuration information, status, and traffic statistics information of the management interface.
admin@XorPlus# run show system management-ethernet eth0 Hwaddr: 00:18:23:30:e5:72 State: UP Gateway : 192.168.10.1
