The PLCC32 socket supports 3.3 V Boot Flash memory up to 512 KB. As with the 2019 series of switches and the 3534 1RU switch, the 3534 Model F08 is based on a central memory architecture. In this scheme, a set of buffers in the central memory is assigned to each port to be used for receipt of frames.
The CMI interface for the ASIC is connected inside the ASIC. Each chip time slices its output port to each possible destination chip in the switch. If it has a message to send to a particular destination during the corresponding time slot, the chip uses the time slot to send the message.
You use this connector to configure the internet protocol (IP) address and to recover the factory default settings of the switch should Flash memory contents be lost. The serial port connection should not be used to perform normal administration or maintenance functions.

Press the rubber feet firmly into place. 4. Return the switch to its normal upright position. Place it on a sturdy flat surface. 5. When you are ready to supply power to the switch, connect the power cable to the 3534 Model F08 power supply and to a power outlet.
1. Mount the moving slide and the lock mounting ears to the switch. 2. Mount the fixed portion of the slide in the rack. 3. Insert the switch and move a portion of the slide into the fixed portion on the rack.
Item Note: Because this rack mount kit is distributed with various switches, you might end up with extra parts that are not needed for the installation of your switch into your rack assembly. 2. Separate the inner and outer slides.

Position the left rack mount bracket at the left front corner of the switch chassis, so that the two holes in the bracket align with the two threaded holes in the switch chassis.
7. Install the switch in the rack. a. Position the switch in front of the rack. Insert it into the rack by sliding the inner slides on the switch into the outer slides on the rack. See Figure 10 on page 21.
Figure 10. Inserting slides into the rack rails b. Verify the alignment of the slides by sliding the switch in and out of the rack. Any difficulty moving the switch indicates lateral stress or misalignment. If this occurs, adjust the slide positions until the movement is smooth.

To turn on the 3534 Model F08, plug it into a power outlet. The power supply does not have an ac switch. To turn the switch off, unplug it from the power outlet. Note: Unplugging the switch triggers a system reset. When the switch is plugged in, all devices are returned to the initial state and the switch runs a POST.

Note: For dust and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, keep the cover on the serial port whenever it is not in use. You can use the serial port to connect to a terminal to set the switch IP address without connecting to the fabric. You can also use it to reinitialize the switch defaults, which restores the factory configuration and returns the switch passwords to a known state.
