  • Page 7: Safety Information

    The single mode interface modules use Class 1 laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules. The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the  need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser  transceivers comply with the following safety standards: • 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA). • IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission). • CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all  three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous. When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the  fiber (under normal conditions) is ‐12.6 dBm or 55 x 10 Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum  radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye  hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter. Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety When using a fiber optic media expansion module, never look at the transmit laser ...

Figure 2-7 Fastening the Switch to the Rack 1 Rails of 19-inch rack If you are installing this switch in a stacked configuration, repeat this procedure for each  switch until all switches have been installed in the stack, then proceed to “Connecting High‐ Speed Stacking Cables” on page 2‐13. Otherwise, proceed to “Connect AC and RPS Power” on  page 2‐17. Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables The stack of switches can be connected in a ring or daisy chain topology. In a ring topology all the  switches are connected. The only difference in the cable connections in a daisy chain topology is  that one cable is not installed. Up to 8 switches can be stacked together and connected by high‐speed stacking cables. You can  add switches and reach up to a maximum of 384 Ethernet ports per stack. The high‐speed stacking  cables allow the entire stack to operate with a single IP address.  There are four types of cables: • C2CAB‐SHORT — Cable to connect two adjacent switches in the stack (30.6 cm).

If the stack is in a configuration where the adjacent switches are too far apart for C2CAB-SHORT cables, C2CAB-LONG cables can be used for the connections.
  • Page 39: Configuring Switches In A Stack

    Configuring Switches in a Stack The information in the following sections is important to understand C3K switch operation in a  stack installation. About SecureStack C3K Switch Operation in a Stack Once your C3K switches are installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single  switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network  expands. You can also mix different C Series products in a single stack to provide a combination of  port types and functions to match your network requirements. In all cases, a stack of switches  performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in “Connecting High‐Speed  Stacking Cables” on page 2‐13, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the  Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack.  • The hierarchy of the switches that will assume the function of backup manager is also  determined in case the current manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected  from the stack.  • The console port on the manager switch remains active for out‐of‐band (local) switch  management, but the console port on each member switch is deactivated. This enables you to  set the IP address and system password using a single console port. Now each switch can be  configured locally using only the manager’s console port, or inband using a remote device and  the CLI set of commands described in this section. For procedures used for various types of  connections to the Console port, refer to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management”  on page 2‐19.
  • Page 40: Recommended Procedures For New And Existing Stacks

    The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.
  • Page 41: Adding A New Switch To An Existing Stack

    • Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.
