Preparation • Minimize handling of assemblies and components. • Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging. • Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area. • Use tools that do not create ESD.
Chapter 3 Rack Mounting the Switch The switch must be mounted in a four-post rack. Perform the following tasks to mount the switch. • Attach the left and right shelf to the rack, adjusting the length of the shelves as needed. You must allocate 4RU rack space starting from the top of the shelf for switch placement (Shelf Installation).
Note: You must ensure that the shelves are installed at the same level in the rack. Figure 3: Adjusting Shelves to Fit onto the Rack (Right Shelf Shown) Figure 4: Switch Shelves Installed Mounting Ears Installation The following figure shows the rack mounting ears, which secure the switch top to the rack. Attach the two rack mounting ears to each side of the switch.

The following figure displays port locations on DCS-7388-SUP-D supervisor. Figure 13: Supervisor Ports 1 USB Port 3 Ethernet Management Port 5 Torque Clutch Tool (shared by Supervisor and Linecards) 2 Console Port (Serial)
Note: In some devices, adjacent QSFP ports may require you to rotate the module for insertion. Figure 14: Optical Module Insertion (representative) Note: For more information about supported optical transceivers, refer to https:// www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/Transceiver-Guide-V04.pdf. Note: Excessive bending can damage interface cables, especially optical cables.
Chapter 6 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.
Page 28
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 Supervisor Module Status Indicators The supervisor displays switch component status and contains Ethernet management and console ports. The supervisor location is on the Front Panels of the switch. The supervisor provides one serial console port, one Ethernet management port, and one USB port. Four LEDs on the top edge report system status, fan status, power status, and switch module status.

Appendix F Maintenance and Field Replacement There is a linecard and supervisor removal tool to facilitate the removal and installation of linecards and supervisor modules. Use the tool as a sleeve on the release handle. It is mounted on the supervisor module Front Panels.
Note: The module will stop sbout 8 mm (1/3") from the back of the switch. 3. Close the release handle (swing arm) to its locked position (up) until both the green buttons pop out. Note: The upward swing arm movement will push and seat the switch card module. The green buttons pop out to indicate that the switch card module is locked.
Maintenance and Field Replacement F.2.2 Installing a Power Supply You must make space for installing the power supply by removing an existing one (Removing a Power Supply). 1. Remove the replacement power supply from its packaging. 2. Slide the new power supply into the empty slot. 3.
2. Pinch the fan module release lever and slide the fan module out of the switch as shown in the figure below. Figure 26: Removing fan module Note: Fans are hot swappable and do not require the removal of the switchcard. The illustration shows the switchcard removed for clarity.
Maintenance and Field Replacement 3. Push in the latch indicator button. Note: The handle will rotate freely without loosening the supervisor module if the latch indicator button is not pushed in. 4. Attach the removal tool to the supervisor module ejector handle. 5.
Note: A representative linecard is shown for illustration. Figure 27: Linecard Module Maintenance 1 Linecard Metal 3 Latch Indicator Button 5 Linecard Metal 2 Ejector (Release) Handle 4 Engaging and Aligning, Geared Screw F.5.1 Removing Linecard Perform the following steps to remove a linecard. 1.
Note: The latch indicator button pops out and the tool rotates freely when the linecard is fully seated. Note: Hand tightening is sufficient for installation. 7. Verify that the linecard is operating normally (Linecard Module Indicators).
