Be sure to order Direct Attach cables and SFP or SFP+ Transceivers as
required. See Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on Ethernet
Routing Switch 5900 Series for more information.
Two power supplies are recommended for redundancy, load sharing and full
hot-swap replacement of a power supply for uninterruptible operation.
Note: Power cords must be ordered separately. For information about order
codes, see Installing Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series.
Note: Cable trays can be provided as an option.

Unpack equipment
• Unpack the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900.
• Observe ESD precautions when unpacking.
• The switch ships with a filler panel in the second power supply position.
This filler panel must stay in place if you do not intend to install a second
power supply.

a. Prepare the rack
• Provide the equivalent of one rack of vertical space for each
5928 or 5952 model in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch
(48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
• Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached
to a permanent structure.
• Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the
1
power service in the area. The ground path must be permanent
and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the rack to the
grounding electrode. It is recommended to use a filter or surge
suppressor.
b. When you install the switch into a network, ensure to use
the following cables:
• Category 5E or higher specification cabling must be used for 1
Gbps/1000 Mbps operation.
• RJ-45 and DB-9 console port cables and adaptors are as follows:

2. Slide the switch into the rack. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.
Install using the optional 4-post rack mount bracket
1. Attach a front bracket to each guide bracket with four 8.5 mm
length flat head machine screws.
2. Attach the guide brackets to the switch chassis.
a. Use four M4 x 5.5 mm undercut flat-head hex machine screws to
attach the rear of each guide bracket to the switch chassis.
b. Verify if rear screws sit flush in the guide brackets.
c. Test fit the rear mounting brackets in the guide brackets and
verify that the rear brackets can slide in the channels. Remove
the rear brackets.
3. Install the switch into the equipment rack temporarily using only
the front rack mounts and screws.
4. Slide a rear mounting bracket into each guide bracket channel until
flush with the rear rack posts.
a. Slide a rear mounting bracket into each guide bracket channel
until flush with the rear rack posts.
b. Secure the rear mounting brackets to the switch chassis with the
pan-head screws.

5900 Series.

Install two Fan Trays in the ERS 5900 switch
There are two ways to install an ERS 5900 switch in an equipment rack.
Refer to one of the following sections:
• Mount the switch using the supplied bracket.
• Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit.
Note: For more information, see Installing the ERS 5900.
Fan Trays
For correct switch operation, install both Fan Trays so that the airflow
direction matches the primary Power Supply.
Fan trays can only be inserted in one direction.
• Use the location pin on the Fan Tray to ensure correct orientation in
the chassis. The Fan Tray is upright if the location pin is at the top.

• Once the Fan Tray is installed, tighten the thumbscrews.
Stacking
The Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series provides fail-safe stackability.
You can connect up to eight 5900 Series devices in a stack to provide
uninterrupted connectivity for up to 384 ports. You can manage the
stack as a single unit.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 series back panel provides a Base
Unit switch, Cascade Down connector, and Cascade Up connector for
stacking purposes as shown below:
Base Select Switch
Cascade Down Port Cascade Up Port
Base Unit Switch – used to designate the base unit in a stack. When set
to the DOWN position, this unit acts as the Base Unit for the stack.
Cascade Down and Cascade Up connectors – used to connect a switch
to the next unit in the stack through a cascade cable. Connect one end
of the Cascade Down cable to the Cascade Up connector of the next
switch in the stack (shown in the simple three-switch stack connection
block diagram below):
Simplified Stacking diagram
1 = Base unit
2 = Last unit
3 = 0.5m Cascade/Stack cable
4 = 1.0m Cascade/Stack cable
4 3
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Ethernet Routing
Switch 5900 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking.
For stacking three or more units (maximum eight units per stack),
order 0.5 m, 1 m, 3 m or 5 m cables as applicable.
1. Ensure that all switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Unit Select switches on the back of the units to the
appropriate position, depending on whether they are a base unit or
non-base unit:
• Base Unit (Unit 1) - Slide the Base Unit switch to the DOWN position.
• Non-Base Unit (Units 2-8) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the UP
position. Because stack parameters are associated with the base
unit, the physical stack order depends on the base unit position and
whether you configure the stack cascade up (stack up) or cascade
down (stack down). This designation depends on the stack cabling
arrangement.
NOTE: It is recommended you use a Cascade Down (stack down)
configuration.
3. For a Cascade Down configuration, connect stack cables as
shown below:
Cascade Down configuration
1 = Base unit
2 = Last unit
3 = 0.5m Cascade/Stack cable
4 = 1.0m Cascade/Stack cable
(Return cable)
Note: Return cable length may
vary depending on unit spacing.
Please ensure proper length
return cable is ordered to
provide adequate strain relief.
