1 The OmniSwitch 8800 The 18-slot OmniSwitch 8800 (OS8800) switch offers high performance 10/100 Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, as well as embedded server load balancing for enterprise requirements. It provides non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, carrier-class availability, multi-layer security, and intelligent switching and routing services—all at wire speed.
Application Example The OmniSwitch 8800 Application Example The following application example shows one of the many ways OmniSwitch 8800 switches can be used in an Enterprise network setting. • Core Switch. In this example, an OS8800 is used as the core switch. Because the example network has a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone, the Network Interface (NI) cards in the chassis will use 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (10GNI) modules.

Note. Although presence signalling is designed to maintain data flow on the switch during the hot swap procedure, uninterrupted data flow cannot be guaranteed. As a result, you should not hot swap CMM or NI modules during critical network activity. page 5-28 OmniSwitch 8800 Hardware Users Guide December 2004...
Chassis Management Modules (CMMs), you must always ground yourself properly before removing or adding a module. For this purpose, Alcatel provides a grounding wrist strap and a grounding lug located near the bottom-right of the chassis. To properly ground yourself, follow the steps below.
First, loosen the module’s two captive screws that secure the module to the chassis. If necessary, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the screws. Be sure that both captive screws are completely disengaged from the threaded holes in the chassis before continuing. page 5-30 OmniSwitch 8800 Hardware Users Guide December 2004...

Because electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage switch components, you must ground yourself prop- erly before continuing with the hardware installation. For this purpose, Alcatel provides a grounding wrist strap and a grounding lug located near the top-right of the chassis. For the grounding wrist strap to be effective in eliminating ESD, the power supplies must be installed in the chassis and plugged into grounded AC outlets.
Deseche las baterías usadas según las instrucciones del fabricante. Las instrucciones del fabricante son como sigue: Devuelva el módulo con la batería del litio a Alcatel. La batería del litio será substituida en la fábrica de Alcatel.
Debido a que la descarga electrostática (ESD) puede dañar componentes del interruptor, usted debe conec- tarse a tierra correctamente antes de continuar con la instalación del equipo. Para este propósito, Alcatel proporciona una pulsera antiestática y un terminal que pone a tierra situados cerca de la parte superior derecha del chasis.
