Electrostatic discharge Electrostatic discharge This section provides information and procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge during installation. Preventing electrostatic discharge damage Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic voltages can result from friction including, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building static charge in clothing.
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Figure 12: Job aid To install the ESD discharge cable, perform this procedure. 1. Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable earth ground. 2. Connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of the ESD discharge cable for at least 5 seconds, and then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to the switch.

Installing the VSP 8000 Series in an equipment rack • The VSP 8404 DC model (EC8400001-E6) ships with a DC power supply wiring assembly for the DC power supply. • The VSP 8404 AC PS No PC GSA model (EC8400A01–E6GS) does not include a power cord.
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Note: It is highly recommended to mount the chassis on a tray designed for the specific rack and use the Extreme Networks supplied rack mount brackets to hold the chassis in place. The chassis is heavy and could cause damage to a rack if only the brackets are used, especially in a vibration prone area.

Installing the VSP 8000 Series in an equipment rack Important notice about rack safety One prerequisite to installing the switch in an equipment rack is to bolt the equipment rack to the floor. This section emphasizes the safety issue if you do not bolt the rack to the floor. Warning: If you pull the chassis all the way out on the slide rails, there is a danger of the rack tipping over if the rack is not bolted to the floor.
Page 68
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Removing the switch from an equipment rack Follow these steps if you have to remove the switch from an equipment rack. Important: This procedure requires two people. Procedure 1. Disconnect the power cord from the switch.
Page 69
Installing the VSP 8000 Series in an equipment rack 3. While the person standing in back of the chassis slides both of the white release locks (one on each side of the chassis) towards the front, the person standing in front of the chassis pulls the chassis out of the rack.
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Using the supplied brackets This procedure describes how to install the switch using the supplied brackets on a two-post or four-post equipment rack. The brackets secure the chassis and prevent it from sliding around during vibration or when inserting or extracting transceivers.
Cable requirements for the VSP 8000 Series 4. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws. 5. Verify that the switch is securely fastened to the rack. 6. Connect power and network connections to the switch. Cable requirements for the VSP 8000 Series The following table describes the cables required for a VSP 8000 Series switch.
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Required Cable Description connector on one end and an RJ-45 on the other is appropriate. The maximum length for the console port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). SFP+ and QSFP+ Transceiver Varies with the installed transceiver. See the documentation shipped Ports with the transceiver for specifications.
Console port pin assignments Important: Discard transceivers in accordance with the proper laws and regulations. Console port pin assignments The following section describes the console port pin assignments for the RJ-45 connectors in the VSP 8000 Series. The Console port and Management port both use RJ-45 connectors. Table 9: Console port pin assignments Connector Pin Number...

Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series • If you install a second power supply, neither one acts as a primary power supply. The two power supplies load share equally. Before you begin • If you are replacing an installed power supply, see Removing a power supply on page 81.
AC power supply powers up immediately. To verify that the power supply is operating, check the LED on the bottom right side of the power supply. Solid green indicates that power is on. If it is off, check the connections. Warning: Disconnecting the AC power cord is the only way to turn off AC power to the VSP 8000 Series.

DC power supply Danger: Using power cords with a proper grounding path Use only power cords that have a grounding path. Without a proper ground, a person who touches the switch is in danger of receiving an electrical shock. Lack of a grounding path to the switch can result in excessive emissions.
Page 78
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Procedure 1. Remove the two screws that secure the filler panel to the chassis. (Save the filler panel for possible future use.) 2. Slide the power supply into the slot. 3. Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot. The spring latch should engage and return to its original position.
Page 79
DC power supply 4. Once you install a power supply, use the following steps to connect the DC power supply wiring assembly: a. Extreme Networks supplies a DC power supply wiring assembly to connect the DC power supply to the DC input power source. b.

Green (steady) There is output and the power supply is operating normally. Green (blinking) The power supply is present, but its output is standby voltage (12VSB).
Removing a power supply The following table describes the regulatory DC power specifications for the VSP 8000 Series switch. Note that regulatory power specifications are based on the maximum rated capacity of the power supplies and are not based on typical power consumption, which is typically lower.

Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series Airflow direction The airflow direction for VSP 8200 and the VSP 8400 is front-to-back. Installing a fan module The VSP 8000 Series comes with four 12–V fan modules for switch cooling. Figure 25: Fan module There are four sensors inside the chassis that monitor the temperature.
Page 83
Installing a fan module Important: All four fans must be installed at all times to ensure proper ventilation. If a fan fails, replace it as soon as you can but leave it in place until you do. Leaving a fan bay unpopulated impairs the ability of the remaining fans to cool the chassis.

Installing the Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series SFP, SFP+,QSFP+, and QSFP28 port LED state indicators This section describes the transceiver port LED state indicators by color and fluctuation cues. SFP, SFP+ port LED state indicators These ports use the LED on the left side of the port (Link/Act) to indicate whether or not the link is established and if a transceiver is present and active.
LED state definitions Label Color and Status Description Green (slow blinking) The port is administratively disabled or the transceiver has been removed. Clear channel mode Green (Solid) Channelized mode of operation Note: Opt applies only to the 8408QQ ESM. The 8402CQ ESM cannot channelized.

Chapter 6: Translations of safety messages Caution: When you mount this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another. You must secure each unit to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets cannot support multiple units. Important: Achtung: Wenn diese Einheit in einem Rack montiert wird, muß...
Page 91
Caution: If you are not installing a module in the slot, be sure to keep the metal cover plate in place over the slot. Removing the cover plate impedes airflow and proper cooling of the unit. Important: Achtung: Wenn Sie kein Modul im Schacht verwenden, muß die Metallabdeckung über dem Schacht montiert sein.
Page 92
Translations of safety messages Warning: Disconnecting the AC power cord is the only way to turn off AC power to this device. Allow at least 30 seconds for the this device to fully power down before restoring power. Otherwise, this device might produce a core file during the reset leading to an extra delay during boot time.
Page 93
Important: Vorsicht: Verwenden Sie nur Netzkabel mit Schutzerdung. Ohne ordnungsgemäße Schutzerdung besteht für Personen, die den Switch berühren, die Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages. Eine nichtvorhandene Schutzerdung kann zu sehr starken Abstrahlungen führen. Danger: N'utilisez que des cordons d'alimentation équipés de trajet de mise à la terre. Sans mise à la terre adaptée, vous risquez de recevoir une décharge électrique en touchant le commutateur.
