OmniSwitch 2x60 Availability Features OmniSwitch 2x60
page 1-4 OmniSwitch 2x60 Hardware Users Guide July 2021
OmniSwitch 2x60 Availability Features
The switch provides a broad variety of availability features. Availability features are hardware and
software-based safeguards that help prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem
failure. In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components
without powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help ensure that the switch is consistently available for day-to-day network operations.
Hardware-related availability features include:
•Hot-Swapping
•Hardware Monitoring
Hot-Swapping
Hot-swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing certain hardware components without
powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the chassis. This feature greatly facilitates
hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely
event of hardware failure.
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
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.
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the front and rear panels. LEDs are used
to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed
LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the CLI Reference Guide.

OmniSwitch 2x60 Hardware Users Guide July 2021 page 2-1
2 Getting Started
Installing the Hardware
Items Required
•Grounding wrist strap
•Phillips screwdriver
•Flat-blade screwdriver
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
The switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:
•The installation site must maintain a supported temperature and humidity range as given in the
specifications table for the chassis. See “OmniSwitch 2x60 Chassis Details” on page 3-2.
•Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation at the front, back, and sides of the switch.
Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on page 2-4 for minimum clearance requirements. No clearance is
necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.
Electrical Requirements
Note. Switches must be installed by a professional installer. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that proper grounding is available and that the installation meets applicable local and national electrical
codes.
The switches have the following general electrical requirements:
•Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for each power supply installed in the chassis.
•For switches using AC power connections, each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet).
Do not use extension cords.
Electrical Surge Warning
In order to help protect equipment against electrical surges please take note of the following
recommendations and guidelines:
1Earth grounding of all devices is fundamental to ensure long term reliability.
•All electrical equipment must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

Installing the Hardware Getting Started
page 2-2 OmniSwitch 2x60 Hardware Users Guide July 2021
•Every power supply that is connected to building power should be earth grounded.
•Earth grounding for the power cable, should be verified to be 0.01 ohm or less.
•Each switch should be grounded to same earth ground as the power supply.
•Each powered device, such as an AP or camera, should be connected to earth ground.
•Each surge suppression device should be connected to earth ground.
2Shielded cables (STP) offer some minimal level of additional protection over unshielded Ethernet
cables (UTP) but the use of a surge protector is still recommended.
•It is suggested to use STP Cat5e or better for 1Gbps Ethernet switches for any outdoor application or
applications where Ethernet cables come in close proximity to alternating current conductors.
•Always install cables according to manufacturer requirements.
3For any connections where integrity of the cabling within a building ground is questionable (i.e outdoor
connections), copper Ethernet ports must be connected with an appropriate surge protection device, inline,
between the PSE and PD per the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and grounding.
4Caution should be taken for any cable connected to any outdoor device, not only on the device ground-
ing, but to ensure that any outdoor device cables that could carry surge currents, do not pass those surge
currents to upstream Ethernet switches.
5Caution - Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large amounts of static electricity
due to the dielectric properties of their construction materials in addition, this build up of electricity could
lead to a Cable Discharge Event (CDE). A CDE can occur due to the differential in charges on the cable
and the equipment it’s being connected to. 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.
Note. Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in voiding the warranty of the affected
product.
Unpacking and Installing the Switch
To protect your switch components from damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions
carefully before beginning.
Unpack your chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed.
