June 2007 Installing the Hardware 3

Items Required

In addition to the materials and components provided in the

OmniSwitch 6850 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 6850 Series switches have the following environ-

mental and airflow requirements:

•The installation site must maintain a temperature

between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 113° Fahrenheit)

and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-

condensing) at any time.

•Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air

ventilation 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 6 for minimum

clearance requirements.

Electrical Requirements

OmniSwitch 6850 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.

NEBS GR-1089 Compliance Requirements

The following notes and warnings apply to all NEBS

compliant platforms.

Grounding requirements: To ground the equipment prop-

erly, connect a Panduit Corporation UL listed Lug, P/N:

LCD8-10AL to the two threaded holes located on the rear of

each chassis and power supply module. All connections should

be made using 8AWG copper conductors.

Use Panduit Corporation, P/N: CT-940CH for crimping. (Each

Module must have its own grounding conductor.)

(GR-1089 requires treatment of ground connections and

painted surfaces as needed during installation.)

Installing the Hardware

4 Installing the Hardware June 2007

All surfaces that are used for intentionally grounding the EUT

shall be brought to a bright finish and an anti oxidant solution

must be applied to the surfaces being joined.

Non-conductive coatings (such as lacquer and enamel) must be

removed from threads and other contact surfaces to assure

electrical conductivity.

(Thread forming screws with paint piercing washers may be

used for this purpose during installation)

Warning. The intra-building interfaces of this platform,

including Gigabit Ethernet, are suitable for connection to

intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only with

shielded and grounded cables at both ends. The intra-building

ports of the equipment must not be metallically connected to

interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring.

Note. All bare conductors must be coated with an appro-

priate antioxidant compound before crimp connections are

made. All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars

are to be brought to a bright finish and then coated with an

antioxidant before connecting them.

Weight Considerations

A single OS6850 weighs approximately 14 lbs

(6.24 Kgs). A stack of eight OS6850 switches weighs

approximately 112 lbs (50 Kgs).

June 2007 Installing the Hardware 5

Items Included

Your OmniSwitch 6850 Series switch order includes the

following items:

•OmniSwitch 6850 Series 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 XFPs (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.

6 Installing the Hardware June 2007

4Carefully remove any foam pads and protective plastic

from the switch chassis.

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 6850 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 6850 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:
