About This Guide
This OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide describes OmniSwitch 6900 switch components and basic
switch hardware procedures.
Supported Platforms
The information in this guide applies only to OmniSwitch 6900 switches.
Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this users guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to
configure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge of OmniSwitch 6900 hardware will benefit from the material in this guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as you are ready to familiarize yourself with your switch hardware components.
You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the brief hardware overviews
in the OmniSwitch 6900 Getting Started Guide.
You should already be familiar with the very basics of the switch hardware, such as module LEDs and
component installation procedures. This manual will help you understand your switch hardware in
greater depth.

page -viii OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide September 2011
What is in this Manual?
This users guide includes the following hardware-related information:
•Descriptions of “Availability” features.
•Technical specifications for the chassis, power supplies, modules and fan tray.
•Power supply requirements.
•The dynamics of chassis airflow, including detailed illustrations of proper and improper airflow
configurations.
•Hot swapping power supplies, fan trays and modules.
•Installation and removal procedures for power supplies, fan trays and modules.
•Detailed illustrations and LED descriptions for chassis, network and power supply operability.
•Hardware-related Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
What is Not in this Manual?
The descriptive and procedural information in this manual focuses on switch hardware. It includes
information on some CLI commands that pertain directly to hardware configuration, but it is not intended
as a software users guide. There are several OmniSwitch users guides that focus on switch software
configuration. Consult those guides for detailed information and examples for configuring your switch
software to operate in a live network environment. See “Documentation Roadmap” on page -ix and
“Related Documentation” on page -xi for further information on software configuration guides available
for your switch.
How is the Information Organized?
Each chapter in this guide focuses on a specific hardware component or a set of hardware components. All
descriptive, technical specification, and procedural information for a hardware component can be found in
the chapter dedicated to that component.

OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide September 2011 page -ix
Documentation Roadmap
The OmniSwitch user documentation suite was designed to supply you with information at several critical
junctures of the configuration process.The following section outlines a roadmap of the manuals that will
help you at each stage of the configuration process. Under each stage, we point you to the manual or
manuals that will be most helpful to you.
Stage 1: Using the Switch for the First Time
Pertinent Documentation: OmniSwitch 6900 Getting Started Guide Release Notes
A hard-copy OmniSwitch 6900 Getting Started Guide is included with your switch; this guide provides all
the information you need to get your switch up and running the first time. It provides information on
unpacking the switch, rack mounting the switch, installing NI modules, unlocking access control, setting
the switch’s IP address, and setting up a password. It also includes succinct overview information on
fundamental aspects of the switch, such as hardware LEDs, the software directory structure, CLI
conventions, and web-based management.
At this time you should also familiarize yourself with the Release Notes that accompanied your switch.
This document includes important information on feature limitations that are not included in other user
guides.
Stage 2: Gaining Familiarity with Basic Switch Functions
Pertinent Documentation: OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Switch Management Guide
Once you have your switch up and running, you will want to begin investigating basic aspects of its
hardware and software. Information about switch hardware is provided in the OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware
Guide. This guide provide specifications, illustrations, and descriptions of all hardware components. It
also includes steps for common procedures, such as removing and installing switch components.
This guide is the primary users guide for the basic software features on a single switch. This guide
contains information on the switch directory structure, basic file and directory utilities, switch access
security, SNMP, and web-based management. It is recommended that you read this guide before
connecting your switch to the network.
Stage 3: Integrating the Switch Into a Network
Pertinent Documentation: OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network onfiguration Guide
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Advanced Routing onfiguration Guide
When you are ready to connect your switch to the network, you will need to learn how the OmniSwitch
implements fundamental software features, such as 802.1Q, VLANs, Spanning Tree, and network routing
protocols. This guide contains overview information, procedures, and examples on how standard
networking technologies are configured on the OmniSwitch.
The guide includes configuration information for networks using advanced routing technologies (OSPF
and BGP) and multicast routing protocols (DVMRP and PIM-SM).

page -x OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide September 2011
Anytime
The OmniSwitch LI Reference Guide contains comprehensive information on all CLI commands
supported by the switch. This guide includes syntax, default, usage, example, related CLI command, and

OmniSwitch 6900 Availability Features OmniSwitch 6900
page 1-2 OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide September 2011
OmniSwitch 6900 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:
•Power upply Redundancy
•mart Continuous witching
•Hot wapping
•Hardware Monitoring
Power Supply Redundancy
For information on power supply redundancy, refer to Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”
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. The following hardware components can be hot swapped:
•Power supplies
•Transceivers
•Fan tray
•Plug-in modules
Note. Hot-swapping plug-in modules applies to like modules only. If one module type (e.g., OS-XNI-U4)
is being replaced with an unlike module (e.g., OS-XNI-U12) a chassis reboot is required. Refer to
Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power Supplies” for detailed information on hot-swapping plug-in modules.
For information on adding and removing power supplies and plug-in modules, refer to Chapter 2, “Chassis
and Power Supplies.”

OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide September 2011 page 1-3
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 OmniSwitch LI
Reference Guide.
