Switch Fabric and V6.2 Controllers
Hardware Installation Guidelines
•
This section describes the hardware setup and installation of only the following modules:
•
Xedge Cell controllers (ETH, ACP, ACS, ECC),
•
Xedge Adaptation Controllers (CE, VSM),
•
Xedge Switch Fabric Modules (XM, XS, XH)
•
When handling Xedge Slot Controllers and Switch Fabric modules, always use an antistatic
wrist strap to prevent static discharge damage to the electronic circuits.
•
To avoid damaging the EMI springs when installing a module in a chassis, carefully insert the
module into its slot and fasten its front panel captive screws to the chassis before installing the
next module. Similarly, modules should be removed one at a time, that is, unfasten the captive
screws of one module and carefully remove that module from its slot before removing the next
module. If the EMI springs are damaged, contact your authorized field service representative.
•
Refer to Chapter 2, Xedge Chassis Systems to make power, management and cable connections
and for additional information on your specific Xedge Chassis.
•
Once all modules are installed and connected, refer to the Xedge 6000 Version 6.2
Configuration Guide (032R400-V620) for detailed configuration procedures.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Set the jumper and/or switches for each Slot Controller and Switch Fabric module as required
in your network. Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for details on each module.
2. For all controllers, set the boot mode rotary switch as described below.
available options. (Refer to
•
For the Slot-0 Controller, set the rotary switch to 0.
•
For the Slot-0 standby controllers, set the rotary switch to 4.
•
For all other slots, set the rotary switch to 8.
3. For the CE and ETH controllers, set jumpers or switches on the circuit board as required for
your environment. Refer to the specific instructions provided in this chapter.
4. Determine which slot to use for each module, according to the following guidelines:
•
Switch Fabric modules use only the switch fabric main or standby slot, whichever is
applicable to your Xedge system.
•
Slot Controller modules that will serve as the slot-0 controller must use the Slot-0 Main
and Slot-0 Standby positions.
•
In a switch with a variety of Xedge cell, adaptation and packet controllers, a packet
controller must serve as the slot-0 controller(s).
•
Non Slot-0 controllers can use any of the remaining slots.
5. Remove the blank panel that covers the slot by loosening its two retaining screws.
6. Insert the edges of the module into the tracks of the slot and slide the module inward until it
stops. All Slot Controller modules can be installed using "hot-swap" methods.
•
If the module has front panel captive screws, tighten the two screws to seat the rear
connectors with the midplane connector.
•
If the module has front panel latches, push the latches a little further so that the rear
connectors mate with midplane connectors. Close the latches when the closures clear the
front edge of the chassis latch bar.
7. Refer to Chapter 5, Line Interface Modules to setup and install compatible LIMs as required
for capable slot controllers.
8. Configure the modules as required using the Xedge 6000 Version 6.2.X Configuration Guide.
