The EME uses the management bus to send commands to all chassis modules and to collect information from interface modules. The Switch 4007 is required to have a minimum of one EME (Enterprise Management Engine) management module. You can install a second EME for redundant management operation.
Switch Fabric Modules The Switch 4007 supports 9-port and 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric modules. Both switch fabric modules fit into slot 7 of the Switch 4007 chassis. 3Com enables you to simplify your installation by selecting from four pre-configured starter kits.
Ethernet networks) on the front panel of the EME to configure and report on switch and module operation. The Switch 4007 EME is an SNMP-based network management module that allows you to configure and manage the Switch 4007 chassis and modules.
It operates as a Layer 2 switch and occupies a single interface module slot in the Switch 4007 chassis. Figure 9 identifies the components on the front panel of the module. The front panel ports on the module are numbered 1 through 20.
Gigabit Ethernet Modules The Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) Interface Modules are two-port interface modules for the 3Com Switch 4007. The GEN interface modules serve as a 2–Gigabit data channel between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module and other 802.3z–compliant Gigabit Ethernet devices. GEN Interface Modules use SC connectors.
Model Number: 3CB9LG4 The 4-port Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) Interface Module (GBIC) is an interface for gigabit rate data between the Switch 4007 chassis backplane and other 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet devices. The module provides four Gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic connections on the front panel, using plug-in Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceivers.
To ensure optimal performance, compatibility, and regulatory compliance, use only conditioned launch cables that 3Com supports. For a list of supported conditioned launch cables, see this 3Com Web site: http://www.3Com.com/gigabit_ethernet/gbics To learn more about this transceiver, refer to the GBIC Transceiver Installation Guide on the Online Manuals CD-ROM.

Site Requirements for the Switch 4007 Preinstallation Guidelines Installing the Chassis Figure 16 summarizes the installation procedure. For a Switch 4007 starter kit, you can simplify the installation proceedure because the chassis is pre-configured with one power supply, one management module, one switch fabric module, and two interface modules.
Ventilation Requirements Power Requirements Safety Information Location Requirements Install a Switch 4007 in an area that meets the following requirements: Ambient (room) temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F). The default internal operating temperature threshold for the Switch 4007 is approximately 60 °C (140 °F).
To ensure that you tighten screws to Torque Specification, use a torque screwdriver. The following list shows the amount of rack space that is needed to install a Switch 4007 chassis in a Telco rack or a Metric rack. Height — 30.98 cm / 12.2 in.

To ensure that installed fans are able to provide adequate ventilation, maintain at least 7 cm (2.76 in.) between the sides of the Switch 4007 chassis and the nearest wall (or other vertical surface). Also provide at least 91.4 cm (36 in.) behind the chassis to be able to remove and replace power supplies in the Switch 4007 chassis.
Safety Information This section lists warning notices to read before you install the Switch 4007 and its components. WARNING: The Switch 4007 must be installed only by trained service personnel. WARNING: To maintain proper cooling in the chassis and maintain safety compliance, make certain that blank faceplates cover any empty slots.
Although the data communication LEDs that are used in this product meet the regulatory requirements for casual exposure to the eye, as with any source of bright light, 3Com recommends that you do not look into the light source. LED Safety Information: IEC 825, Class 1 LED Device.
Figure 18 shows two types of racks that you may use to install the Switch 4007 chassis. Figure 18 Rack Types Move the Switch 4007 chassis close to where you plan to install it. Place the chassis in front of the rack, table, or shelf that you plan to use.
Use the preinstalled flange pins in the Telco rack slot to position the chassis in the rack. Support the back of the chassis until the two bottom screws are fully inserted. While you support the back of the chassis, insert one bottom screw on each side of the chassis and then tighten the screw.

Power supply slot 2 Removing and Replacing a Fan Tray This section describes how to remove and then replace a fan tray for the Switch 4007 chassis: Power supply CAUTION: The Switch 4007 sends a fan fault (in slot 1) message when one fan fails in the fan tray.
Removing the Fan Tray from a Chassis The Switch 4007 chassis contains one fan tray. The fan tray contains four fans. Fans in the power supplies help to ventilate the Switch, but they are not designed to act as a substitute for the dedicated fan tray.
AINTAINING THE WITCH Replacing the Fan Tray in a Chassis You can install a fan tray in your Switch 4007 chassis while the power is still on. This is called hot swapping. To install a new fan tray: Grasp the handle on the fan tray and then face the front of the chassis.
This guide is intended for trained technical personnel only. Do not attempt to remove, install, or replace a Switch 4007 EME or a memory card if you have not had the proper training from 3Com. For training information, call 1-800-NET-3COM.
AINTAINING THE WITCH WARNING: Hazardous energy exists within the Switch 4007 system. Use extreme caution when you install, remove, or replace the EME or a memory card. When the system is on, never insert metal objects such as a screwdriver or a finger with jewelry into open module slots.
If you have two EMEs in the chassis, upgrade the inactive (slave) EME first. You do not need to power off the Switch 4007 chassis to install, remove, or replace the EME module. You can replace the module while the chassis is operating.
Ensure that the module remains fully seated in the backplane connector while you close the ejector handles. 4007 To secure the module to the chassis, use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the spring-loaded screws to Torque Specification 3 to 5 inch-pounds.
CAUTION: To maintain proper ventilation, keep the sides of the Switch 4007 at least 7 cm (2.76 in.) or greater from a wall or other obstruction. In addition, provide at least 91.4 cm (36 inches) in back of the switch to remove and replace the power supplies.

Power Management The Enterprise Management Engine (EME) works protects network integrity using power management. The EME determines how much power a Switch 4007 module requires before it permits the module to power on. The EME manages power use in the chassis by: Preventing newly installed modules from receiving power when there is not enough power available.
Take into account any modules that you plan to install, as well as those that are already installed. Power Supply Modes The Switch 4007 runs in either of two power supply modes: Fault-Tolerant Mode Non-Fault Tolerant Mode For optimal power redundancy in either power mode, run the Switch 4007 with two power supplies.
EME prompt. power mode When you attempt to set the Switch 4007 to power fault-tolerant mode, EMEs determine if there is sufficient unallocated power budget available to place power that is equivalent to one power supply in reserve.
