Note: Use only the PSU models supported by the switch. Some switches described in this guide could use power supplies that may no longer be available. Contact your local Arista representative for more information. Table 4: Switch Specifications (Power Draw)
Airflow Orientation: 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. • Blue Handle: Air Inlet module. The following figure shows the airflow through the switch with air inlet modules: •...
Page 11
Air Inlet modules: orient the rear panel toward the cool aisle. Most Arista switches are available in configurations to support airflow in either '-R' (Rear-to-Front, port-side air exhaust) or '-F' (Front-to-Rear, port-side air intake). For proper function, ensure that the installation direction matches the airflow configuration of the switch.
Preparation Tools and Parts Required for Installation Each switch provides an accessory kit that contains parts that are required to install the switch. In addition to the accessory kit, the following tools and equipment are required to install the switch: Two-Post Rack •...
Chapter 3 Rack Mounting the Switch Rack Mounting the Switch (1RU) The following topics are covered in this section: • Two-Post Rack Mount (1RU) Note: Use the rack-mount parts included with your switch for mounting. For heavier switches, only a four-post mount is supported. •...
Note: Deep and heavy devices could droop and cause damage to the equipment rack if front or rear mounted. Arista recommends only center mounting for switches covered in this guide when two-post mounting is required, and the switch accessory kit includes two-post mounting ears. Four- post mounting ears are different from the two-post mounting ears and should not be used for two- post mounting.
3.1.2 Inserting the Switch into the Rack (Two-Post) This procedure attaches the switch to the rack. 1. Lift the chassis into the rack. Position the flanges against the rack posts. 2. Select mounting screws that fit your equipment rack. 3. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack posts. Figure 3-3: Inserting the Switch into the Rack After completing the two-post rack mount, proceed to Cabling the...
Rack Mounting the Switch 3.2.1 Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis (Four-Post) The following figure displays the front bracket alignment for mounting the switch into a four-post rack. Figure 3-4: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis (KIT-7101 shown) Figure 3-5: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis (with Deep Chassis Adapters) This procedure attaches mounting brackets to the switch chassis as depicted by the preceding figure(s).
4. Attach the deep chassis adapters as needed. To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction). The rest of the rack mounting steps are the same for both KIT-7001 and KIT-7101.
Rack Mounting the Switch If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack. 3. Attach the slide end of the rail to the front post by extending the rail end past the post, then contracting the rail while guiding the rack plugs into the post.
Two-Post Rack Mount (2RU) The 2RU switches covered in this guide do not support two-post rack mounting. The accessory kit contains only the four-post RMK components. Contact your local Arista Networks account representative for further information if you require two-post rack mounting.
Rack Mounting the Switch Four-Post Rack Mount (2RU) The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the switch onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts. The installation kit provides two bracket-rail assemblies. The following four-post mounting parts are extracted from each assembly: •...
Rack Mounting the Switch 3. Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the rail locks with an audible click. Figure 3-13: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis 1 Aligned rail 2 Seated rail To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).
3. Repeat Step 1 through Step 2 for the left posts. Ensure the rails are on the same horizontal level. Figure 3-14: Attaching the Rails 1 Front of right rail 3 Right rack post (rear) 2 Right rack post (front) 4 Rear of right rail 3.5.5 Attaching the Switch to the Rack...

Rack Mounting the Switch 3. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack post using the quick-release thumb screws supplied with the brackets. Hand-tighten the thumb screws or use a Phillips #2 screwdriver. Note: Do not exceed a maximum torque of 20 in·lb nor use powered impact drivers to secure the thumb screws.
DC Power Supplies • Connecting Serial and Management Cables Note: Arista fixed switches take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to boot completely. Grounding the Switch After mounting the switch into the rack, connect the switch to the data center ground.
Cabling the Switch Grounding Adapter Assembly (1RU) The following steps assemble and attach a grounding assembly to the chassis before mounting it into the rack. The following switches support external chassis grounding. Identify the location for attaching the adapter or the lug. As shown in the following example, the attachment point is on the bottom of the chassis for the switches that support the KIT-GND-EXT-1RU grounding kit.
You must use an approved power cord compliant with local and national electrical codes or order one from Arista for use with the switch. Some power cords are shipped with each switch as part of the accessory kit. Important: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Cabling the Switch • Redundant Power Supply Configuration: Connect power to both power supplies. • Power down the Switch: Remove all power cords and wires from the power supplies. Important: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor. Cet équipement doit être mis à...
