OmniSwitch 6800 Series

The OmniSwitch 6800 Series is an advanced fixed

configuration family of Ethernet switches. These switches

provide wire rate Layer 2 forwarding and Layer 3 routing with

advanced services.

They are fixed configuration, triple-speed (10/100/1000)

switches that provide increased network performance,

improved application response times, secure the LAN, and

enhance user productivity by maximizing mobility, network

capacity, and services over existing category 5/5E/6 cabling.

Refer to the User Manual CD for additional hardware and

software OmniSwitch documentation.

June 2007 Installing the Hardware 3

Items Required

In addition to the materials and components provided in the

OmniSwitch 6800 Series shipment, you must provide the

following items in order to complete this installation:

•Grounding wrist strap

•Phillips screwdriver

•Serial cable

•Rack mount screws, if applicable

Site Preparation

Environmental Requirements

OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following environ-

mental and airflow requirements:

•The installation site must maintain a temperature

between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 122° Fahrenheit)

and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-

condensing) at any time.

•Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventila-

tion and access at the front, back, and sides of the

switch. No clearance is necessary at the top or bottom

of the chassis. Refer to page 5 for minimum clearance

requirements.

Electrical Requirements

OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have the following general

electrical requirements:

•Each switch requires one grounded AC power source.

•Grounded AC power source must be 110V for North

American installations (220V international).

•Each supplied AC power cord is approximately 2

meters (6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.

Weight Considerations

A single OS6800 weighs approximately 14 lbs.

(6.30 Kg). A stack of eight OS6800 switches weighs

approximately 111 lbs (50.4 Kgs).

Installing the Hardware

4 Installing the Hardware June 2007

Items Included

Your OmniSwitch 6800 Series switch order includes the

following items:

•OmniSwitch chassis

•Rack mount flanges with attachment screws (rack

mount flanges may be pre-installed on some orders)

•Power cord (country-specific)

•Documentation CD containing a complete set of user

guides for the switch and switch software. Refer to

“Related Documentation” on page 2 for a complete list of

included documentation.

Depending on the items ordered for your specific network

requirements, the following optional items may also be

included:

•Stacking cables (per order)

•SFPs (per order)

•10 Gigabit XFP connectors (per order)

•Backup power supply components and cables

(per order)

Unpacking and Initial Setup

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), stacking cables, 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.

3Lift the chassis out of the packaging.

4Carefully remove any foam pads and protective plastic

from the switch chassis.

June 2007 Installing the Hardware 5

Note. Alcatel-Lucent provides factory-installed blank

cover plates for empty backup power supply or 10 Giga-

bit expansion module bays. Do not remove these cover

plates unless a backup power supply or expansion module

is to be installed immediately at the corresponding bay.

5If you are installing multiple switches in a stacked

configuration, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining

switches that will make up the stack.

6Once all OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches have been

removed from their packaging, continue to “Setting Up

the Switch.”

Setting Up the Switch

Note. Due to their airflow and access requirements,

OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches cannot be wall-

mounted.

Airflow Considerations

Be sure that your switch is placed in a well-ventilated, static-

free environment. Always allow adequate clearance at the

front, rear, and sides of the switch.

The following diagram shows recommended minimum clear-

ances for adequate chassis airflow and access to components at

the rear of the chassis:

6 Installing the Hardware June 2007

Never obstruct the air vents located at the left and right sides

of the chassis.

Note. Clearance is not required at the top and bottom of

the chassis. For detailed chassis airflow diagrams, refer to

the OmniSwitch 6800 Series Hardware Users Guide.

Installation Options

There are two ways in which the OmniSwitch 6800 Series

switches can be installed:

•Tabletop installation

•Rack-mount installation

For information on setting up a switch as a tabletop unit, refer

to “Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or Bench.” For infor-

mation on rack-mounting the switch, refer to

“Rack-Mounting the Switch” on page 7.

Installing the Switch on a Tabletop or

Bench

OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can be installed freestand-

ing as tabletop units. Place your switch in a stable, flat, static-

free surface.

Note. OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches must be placed

“right side up.” Never attempt to operate a switch posi-

tioned on its side.

Tabletop Mounting Steps

To install the switch as a tabletop unit, follow the steps below:

1Position the chassis on the table or bench where it is to

be installed.

2Be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for

chassis airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of

the switch. For recommended clearances, refer to page 5.

Also, be sure that you have placed the chassis within reach

of all required AC power sources.

If you are placing multiple switches in a stacked configu-

ration, carefully stack the remaining switches, one on top

of the other. Up to eight switches may be stacked to form

a single virtual chassis. Be sure to maintain adequate

clearance at the front, rear, left, and right side of all

switches (see page 5). Also, be sure that you have placed

all switches in the stack within reach of required AC

power sources.

Note. If you are installing a single (i.e., standalone)

switch, continue to “Connections and Cabling” on page 10

for additional setup procedures.
