The fans and PSUs determine the airflow direction through the switch. The color of the visible handles or labels indicate the airflow direction. Note: The figures shown use representative Arista switches to illustrate airflow directions. Refer to rear panel to determine the airflow for your switch.
Figure 2: Air Exit Module Orient the switch such that the airflow through the switch is from the cooler to the hotter aisle. If the airflow direction is not compatible with the installation site, reorient the fan modules to circulate air in the opposite direction.
Preparation Two-Post Rack • Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts. • Screwdriver Four-Post Rack (Tool-less) No additional equipment required. Four-Post Rack (Conventional) • Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts. • Screwdriver The accessory kit does not include screws for attaching the switch to the equipment rack. When installing the switch into an equipment rack with unthreaded post holes, nuts are also required to secure the switch to the rack posts.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Cabling the Switch. Note: Illustrations use a representative Arista switch. Your device may be different in appearance. Two-Post or Four-Post Rack Mount The switch can be installed in a two-post or four-post rack. The installation process is identical because the switch attaches to only two posts of a rack.
2. Attach the brackets with two M4x5 flat head Philips screws as shown in the following figure. Figure 4: Attaching Mounting Brackets 3.1.2 Inserting the Switch into the Rack This procedure attaches the switch to the rack. 1. Lift the chassis into the rack. Position the flanges against the rack posts. 2.

Rack Mounting the Switch Figure 6: Rubber Pads for Flat Surface Placement Sheet with four rubber pads To prepare the switch for placement on a flat surface, peel the four rubber pads from the master sheet and attach one in each indentation near each corner on the bottom of the switch. The following figure displays the rubber pads placement on the bottom of the switch.
Chapter 4 Cabling the Switch The Cabling the Switch section reviews the following topics: • Grounding the Switch • Connecting Power Cables • Connecting Serial and Management Cables Grounding the Switch Describes the importance of grounding the device to the data center ground. After mounting the switch into the rack, connect the switch to the data center ground.
PSU 2 cover Air inlet indicator (Blue label) The switches operate with two internal power supplies. At least one of the supplies must connect to a power source. Two circuits provide redundancy protection. Important: Grounding wires and grounding lugs (M4 x 0.7) are not supplied. Wire size should meet local and national installation requirements.
Cabling the Switch This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor. This unit requires overcurrent protection. Installation de cet équipement doit être conformes aux codes électriques locaux et nationaux. Si nécessaire, consulter les organismes de réglementation appropriés et des autorités de contrôle pour assurer la conformité.
A disconnect device must be provided as part of the installation . Ensure power is removed from DC circuits before performing any installation actions. Locate the disconnect device, circuit breakers or fuses on DC power lines servicing the circuits. Turn off the power line circuits or remove the fuses.

• 9600 baud • No flow control • 1 stop bit • No parity bits • 8 data bits • Ethernet Management Port: Connect to 10/100/1000 management network with RJ-45 Ethernet cable. • USB Port: The USB port may be used for software or configuration updates. Important: Excessive bending can damage interface cables, especially optical cables.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Switch Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) accessible only through the console port because it has no password.

When the management port IP address is configured, use this command to access the switch from a host, using the address configured in step 9: ssh admin@192.0.2.8 Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for complete switch configuration information.
Appendix A Status Indicators The Status Indicators section reviews the following topics: • Front Indicators • Rear Status Indicators Front Indicators System and port status LED indicators are located on the front of the switches. A.1.1 Switch Indicators Front panel LEDs are located on the right side of the chassis and display system, fan, and power supply status.
One or more fans are not inserted or have failed. Power Supply Status Power supply is not inserted or is not powered. Green Power supply operating normally. Power supply has failed. A.1.2 Port Indicators Port LEDs, located in the vicinity of their corresponding ports, provide link and operational status. The following figure displays the Port LED location on a representative switch.
