Installation preparation 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. Voltage: Use only power cords that have a grounding path. -
Page 4: Before You Begin
Installation preparation Before you begin Ensure the area where you install and use the switch meets environmental requirements. You can install a single ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch on any flat surface that can safely support the weight of the switch and attached cables.

Verify that the switch is securely fastened to the rack. - Page 16 50 Hz Single phase The Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 series does not have a power switch. When you connect the AC power cord to a suitable AC power outlet, the switch powers up immediately. Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch, and then connect the cord to a power outlet.

AC power specifications The following table describes the AC power specifications for the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series.
- Page 18 The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provides fail-safe stackability. You can connect up to eight 3500 Series devices in a stack to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up to 192 to 208 ports. You can manage the stack as a single unit.

- Page 20 20 for more information on the Cascade Up port. Important: To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking three or more units (maximum eight units per stack), order the 46 cm, 1.5 m, or 3 m cables as applicable.

- Page 24 Automatic Unit Replacement (AUR) for both configuration and software is enabled for the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series switches in Release 5.1. This means that the agent code image on a replacement unit, is automatically upgraded or downgraded to match the software running on the stack.
- Page 25 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. Avaya recommends that you use Cascade Down configuration.
- Page 26 Important: Because many network management software packages assume a cascade down (stack down) configuration, Avaya recommends that you use a cascade down configuration. Cascade up In a cascade up (stack up) configuration, the base unit is physically the bottom unit in the stack.
- Page 27 Stack configurations Cascade Up connector physically at the bottom of the stack. The 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.
- Page 28 Stack configurations Important: Because many network management software packages use a cascade down (stack down) configuration, Avaya recommends that you use a cascade down configuration. See Cascade down on page 25. The following guidelines apply for stack configuration: • When you apply power to the stack, the base unit initializes, typically within 60 seconds, and the entire stack powers up as a single logical unit.
