6 Installing the Hardware October 2010
To rack ount the switch, follow the steps below.
1 Mark the holes on the rack where the chassis is to be
installed.
2 Using two people, lift and position the chassis until the
rack- ount flanges are flush with the rack post. Refer to
page 4 for infor ation on properly lifting the chassis.
3 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes
arked in step 1.
4 Once the holes are aligned, use a third person to insert
a screw through the bottom hole on each flange. Tighten
both screws until they are secure.
5 Once the screws at the botto of each flange are
secure, install the re aining screws. Be sure that all
screws are securely tightened.
Optional Rack-Mounting Hardware

ount installations. If you have non-standard rack ount
require ents, contact your Alcatel-Lucent representative for
infor ation on optional hardware availability.
Standalone (Non-Rack Mounted)
Installations
The chassis can also be placed un ounted on a stable, flat
surface as a standalone unit. Be sure that the surface can
acco odate the full, populated weight of all switches
being installed. Approxi ate chassis weights are provided
on page 4.
For a standalone unit, use two or ore people to ove and
position the unpopulated chassis upright on the surface
where it is to be installed. Be sure that adequate clearance
has been provided for chassis airflow and that you have
placed the chassis within reach of all required AC outlets.

Installing Chassis Components
lectrostatic Discharge ( SD) Notice. Be sure to follow
proper procedures to eli inate electrostatic discharge
(ESD) fro your person and the surrounding area before
installing chassis co ponents.
Blank Cover Plates
Blank cover plates are factory-installed in the chassis and are
used to cover e pty CMM, CFM and NI slots, as well as
e pty power supply and fan bays. These cover plates play an
i portant role in chassis airflow and te perature anage ent.
They also provide protection for odule processor boards and
other sensitive internal switch co ponents by closing off a
chassis that is not fully populated.
Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis
co ponents, blank cover plates should re ain in place at all
ti es.
Installing CMM, CFM and NI Modules
Before installing odules in the O niSwitch 10K, locate their
slot positions in the chassis. Slot nu bers are clearly arked
on the O niSwitch 10K front panel.
CMM odules ay be installed in slots A and B. If two CMM
odules are installed in a chassis, the CMM occupying slot A
is the pri ary CMM by default. CFM odules ay be
installed in slots C and D. NI odules ay be installed in slots
1 through 8.
To install an CMM, CFM or NI odule, follow the steps
below:
1 Insert the odule into the slot along the chassis card
guides. The co ponent side of the board should face right.
The odule should slide in easily.

8 Installing the Hardware October 2010
Note. Do not force the odule into the slot. If any
resistance is encountered, ake sure the odule is aligned
properly in the card guides.
2 When the odule is nearly seated in the slot, be sure
that the two extractor levers—one on top of the odule
and one on the botto —are open (approxi ately 90
degrees). This allows the notch on each extractor lever to
grasp the rail on the chassis.
3 Once the notches have grasped the rail, press both
extractor levers inward si ultaneously until the odule is
fir ly seated.
4 Once the odule is fir ly seated, secure the odule to
the chassis by tightening the two captive screws.
Installing Transceivers
For detailed infor ation on installing transceivers, refer to the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Transceivers Guide.
Installing Fan Trays
1 Insert the tray into the chassis slot and slide it straight
back until it eets the chassis backplane connectors.
2 When the fan tray is fir ly seated, tighten the two
captive screws at the left and right sides of the fan tray’s
front panel.

October 2010 Installing the Hardware 9
Installing Power Supplies
1 Orient the power supply so that the power cord socket
is situated at the right of the power supply. Also, for the
power supply to seat properly, ake sure that the handle is
in the open (horizontal) position as shown.
2 Slide the power supply back until its connector eets
the chassis backplane.
3 When the power supply is fully seated, rotate the
handle 90 degrees to the closed (vertical) position.
4 Tighten the captive screw, located at the top-left of the
power supply’s front panel.
5 Plug the power cord (provided) into the power supply’s
socket.
6 Place the cord retainer bracket over the power supply.

10 Installing the Hardware October 2010
7 Secure the bracket to the botto rail of the chassis
using the captive screw. The bracket’s prongs should hold
the power cord securely in place.
8 Repeat steps 1 though 7 for any additional power
supplies being installed.
Important. Do not plug any power cords into a power
source at this ti e as this will boot the chassis.
Connecting the power cord(s) to a power source and the
switch’s boot sequence are covered on page 12.

October 2010 Connections and Cabling 11
Once your switch is properly installed, you should connect all
network and anage ent cables required for your network
applications. Connections ay include:
• RJ-45 straight-through cable to the console port
• Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Manage ent Port
(EMP) on the CMM
• Cables to NIs or transceivers
Serial Connection to the Console Port
The console port, located on the CMM odule, provides a
serial connection to the switch and is required when logging
into the switch for the first ti e. By default, this RJ-45
connector provides a DCE console connection.

12 Booting the Switch October 2010
Now that you have installed the switch co ponents and
connected network and anage ent cables, you can boot the
switch. To boot the switch, plug all power supply cords into
easily-accessible, properly grounded power outlets. (Do not
use extension cords.) The switch will power on and boot
auto atically.
Note. If you have ore than one power supply installed,
be sure to plug in each power supply in rapid succession,
(i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that
there will be adequate power for all odules throughout
the boot process.
Component LEDs
During the boot process, co ponent LEDs will flash and
change color, indicating different stages of the boot. Following
a successful boot, the LEDs on all switch co ponents,
including power supplies, should display as follows:
Note. If a secondary CMM is installed in the chassis
(typically in slot B), its CMM CONTROL LED should be
blinking green.
If the LEDs do not display as indicated, ake sure the boot
process is co pleted. If the LEDs do not display as indicated
following a co plete boot sequence, contact Alcatel-Lucent
Custo er Support. For infor ation on fan tray LED states,
refer to the OmniSwitch 10K Hardware Users Guide.
