LANs. Installation, maintenance, and removal of a switch, chassis, or its components must be done by qualified service personnel only. Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and experience that is necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other people.
Step 2: Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements After examining your physical site and ensuring all environment requirements are met, evaluate and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks equipment to determine if you need to install new cables (or cabling).

Temperature Extreme Networks equipment generates a significant amount of heat. It is essential that you provide a temperature-controlled environment for both performance and safety. Install the equipment only in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area that is free of airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
To ensure proper airflow through an Extreme Networks switch, refer to the following recommendations when you are installing your switch: Extreme Networks switches require 3 inches (7.62 cm) around both the front and rear of the chassis for proper airflow. Extreme Networks recommends 5 inches (12.7 cm) clearance.

Operating humidity should be kept between 50 to 70% relative humidity non-condensing during typical operation and 10% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) for short intervals to maximize equipment life. Figure 3: Ensure that you use an ESD-preventive wrist strap when handling switch components ESD ground connection...
This will insure good grounding between the chassis, rack, and earth ground. NOTE Because building codes vary worldwide, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you consult an electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding for your specific installation. Space Requirements for the Rack Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily.
WARNING! The chassis does not have a switch for turning the unit on and off. Power to the chassis is disconnected by removing the wall plug from the electrical outlet. Ensure that all plugs and electrical outlets are easily accessible.
Assign a unique block of sequential numbers to the group of cables that run between each pair of wiring closets. Assign a unique identification number to each distribution rack. Identify all wiring closets by labeling the front panel of your Extreme Networks equipment and other hardware. Keep accurate and current cable identification records.
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable can build up ESD charges when being pulled into a new installation. Before connecting any category 5 UTP cable to the switch, discharge ESD from the cable by plugging the RJ45 into a LAN Static Discharge device or use an equivalent method.
Use care in dressing the optical fiber cables: provide satisfactory strain relief to support the cable and maintain an adequate bend radius at all cable turns, particularly where the cable connects to the I/O module.

NOTE Because harmonics can appear on the neutral line of a typical three-phase power circuit, Extreme Networks recommends using a harmonics meter in new installations. Making Network Interface Cable Connections Use the appropriate type of cable to connect the ports of your switch to another switch or router.
If a power source fails, it will affect only the switch power supply to which it is connected. If all switch power supplies are connected to a single power source, the entire switch is vulnerable to a power source failure.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that sits between a power supply (such as a wall outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges, and bad harmonics from adversely affecting the performance of the device.
UPS Transition Time Transition time is the time that is necessary for the UPS to transfer from utility power to full-load battery power. For Extreme Networks products, a transition time of less than 20 milliseconds is required for optimum performance.
Stop bit—1 Parity—None Flow control—XON/XOFF The terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software that you connect to an Extreme Networks switch must be configured with these settings. This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with the terminal. Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier, or you can make your own. To ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of the unit, use only shielded serial cables.

Logging In for the First Time After your switch has completed all power on self-tests (POSTs), it is operational. When the switch is operational, you can log in and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named default). To manually configure the IP settings: 1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the MSM.
Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch auto-negotiate operation. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex mode in accordance with technical standards.

Total optical system budget for the SX mini-GBIC is 11.5 dB. Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices/connectors and operating margin. While 8.5 dB remains available for cable-induced attenuation, the 1000BASE-SX standard specifies supported distances of 275 meters over 62.5 micron multimode fiber and 550 meters over 50 micron...
Extreme Networks, into the mini-GBIC port. If you install a mini-GBIC not certified by Extreme Networks into a switch and insert a cable to bring up the link, the port status LED remains “off” and an error specifying the use of a non-Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC is sent to the syslog.
Remove the LC fiber-optic connector from the mini-GBIC prior to removing the mini-GBIC from the switch. If you see an amber blinking mini-GBIC port status LED, the mini-GBIC installed in your switch or module is not approved, supported, or certified by Extreme Networks. To correct this problem, install an Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC.

MSM Activity MSM LEDs The MSM holds both the control plane and the switch fabric for the switch. One MSM is required for switch operation; adding an additional MSM increases reliability and throughput. Each MSM has two CPUs for protocol processing and network management. For full redundancy, you can install up to two MSMs in the BlackDiamond 10K series switch.
Page 78
The MSM consists of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the insertion vehicle in a BlackDiamond 10K series switch. The module carrier also includes ejector/injector levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
MSM experiences a soft reset and then becomes the primary MSM. For example, if you have a BlackDiamond 10K series switch with a primary MSM in slot A and a backup MSM module in slot B, and you remove the primary MSM from slot A, the backup in slot B becomes the primary.
To reset the critical software error LED (amber ERR LED), use the clear log static command and reboot the switch. If you continue to have critical software errors, or the ERR LED is amber after the clear log static command and a switch reboot, contact Extreme Networks Customer Support.
