1 OmniSwitch 6900 The OmniSwitch 6900 (OS6900) is a family of aggregation switches that can also be installed as top-of- rack boxes in data centers. Refer to the information below for model number and component type. Model Number Description OS6900-V72...
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message. page 1-2 OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide July 2024...

The user enters “show” commands that output information to the console. The Show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide July 2024 page 1-3...
Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for each power supply installed in the chassis. • OmniSwitch 6900 switches offer both AC and DC power supply support. For switches using AC power connections, each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet).
It is recommended that installers momentarily ground all copper Ethernet cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connect- ing them to the port. page 2-2 OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide July 2024...
To protect your switch components from damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions carefully before beginning. Unpack your OmniSwitch 6900 chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed. Items Included Your OmniSwitch 6900 includes the following items: OmniSwitch chassis with power supplies, per order •...

For information on modifying these settings, refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Switch Management Guide. Ethernet Management Port (EMP) Cable Requirements The OmniSwitch 6900 provides an Ethernet Management Port (EMP) on the front or rear panel of the chassis (depending on OS6900 model) for out-of-band management. There are specific cable type require- ments (i.e., straight-through or crossover) based on the device to which the EMP is connecting.
