Items Included

Your OmniSwitch 6400 Series switch order includes the

following items:

•OmniSwitch 6400 Series chassis

•Power supply and power supply tray

•Rack mount flanges with attachment screws (rack

mount flanges may be pre-installed on some orders)

Unpacking the Chassis

To protect your OmniSwitch chassis and hardware compo-

nents from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical damage,

read all unpacking recommendations and instructions care-

fully before beginning.

Recommendations

•Unpack your OmniSwitch chassis as close as possible

to the location where it will be installed.

•Depending on your order, Small Form-Factor Plugga-

bles (SFPs) and backup power supply components may

be packaged separately. In order to greatly reduce

exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and physical

damage, do not unpack these items until they are ready

to be installed.

Instructions

1Carefully cut the tape along the seam at the top of the

box containing the chassis.

2Lift the box’s top flaps. Remove any smaller boxes or

pouches that are enclosed and set them aside.

Options.”

Installation Options

Depending on the model, there are three basic ways in which

the OmniSwitch 6400 Series switches can be installed:

•Rack-mount installation

•Tabletop installation

Note: For detailed, step-by-step instructions on install-

ing and mounting OmniSwitch 6400 hardware and

power supplies along with environmental and safety

considerations, please refer to the OmniSwitch 6400

Hardware Users Guide.

August 2008 Connections and Cabling 5

Once your switch is properly set up and all the required hard-

ware components are installed, you should connect all network

and management cables required for your network applica-

tions. Connections may include:

•RJ-45 cable connection to the console port

•Single mode or multimode fiber cables to combo port

SFPs as required by your network

•Ethernet cables to 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports as

required by your network

Connecting the Serial Cable

The console port, located on the chassis front panel, provides a

serial connection to the switch and is required when logging

into the switch for the first time. By default, this RJ-45

connector provides a DTE console connection.

1Locate the console port on the front of

the switch.

2Connect the supplied console cable to

the console port.

3Connect the supplied console cable to the supplied DB-

9 to RJ-45 adapter.

4Connect the adapter to the PC or terminal with the

default settings below.

Serial Connection Default Settings

The default settings for the serial connection are as follows:

6 Booting OmniSwitch 6400 Series Switches August 2008

Booting A Standalone Switch

The OmniSwitch 6400 Series switch does not use an on/off

switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/discon-

nect device. The power connector socket is located on the

switch’s back panel or external power supply. For more infor-

mation, refer to the OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users

Guide.

To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the

power connector socket or external power supply at the

switch’s rear panel. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-

accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or an

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few

moments for the switch to boot completely, then verify the

status of all LEDs on the switch’s front panel. A successful

boot displays the following LED states:

If any of the LED states differ from the states shown in the

table, refer to the OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users

Guide for more information. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer

Support if the unexpected LED state persists.
