Safety messages
Safety messages are an important part of the technical documentation. The messages alert
you to hazards to personnel and equipment and provide guidance for the safe operation of
yourequipment.Failuretocomplywiththesafetymessagescouldresultinequipmentdamage
and personal injury.
Following are the most common types of safety messages.
Warning:
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and follow all warning
notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation.
Voltage:
This equipment relies on the building's installation for overcurrent protection. Ensure that a
fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A International) is
used on the phase conductors.
Caution:
This device is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this device can cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.

Caution:
When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the
rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting
brackets are not designed to support multiple units.
Voltage:
Use only power cords that have a grounding path. Without a proper ground, a person who
touches the switch is in danger of receiving an electrical shock. Lack of a grounding path to
the switch can result in excessive emissions.
Warning:
Disconnectingthepowercordis theonlyway toturnoffpowertothisdevice.Alwaysconnect
the power cord in a location that can be reached quickly and safely in case of an
emergency.
Warning:
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look
into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected
to a light source.

Before you begin
Ensure the area where you install and use the switch meets environmental requirements.
You can install a single ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch on any flat surface that
can safely support the weight of the switch and attached cables. An ERS 3510GT switch
weighs 3.85 lb (1.75 kg). An ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch weighs 5.9 lb (2.70 kg). Cable weight
varies for each installation.
You can install two ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ units together to form one standard
width rack-wide system using a 19 inch side-by-side Rack Mount Kit (ordered separately).
You can install the ERS 3524GT, ERS 3524GT-PWR+, ERS 3526T, or ERS 3526T-PWR+
switches in an equipment rack using the brackets provided.
Environmental requirements
The following list describes the requirements for the switch environment.
• ambient temperature between 32°F and 122°F (0°C and 50°C)
• relative humidity between 0% and 95% noncondensing
• no nearby heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight
• no nearby sources of severe electromagnetic noise
• no excessive dust
• adequate power source within six feet; one circuit required for each power supply
• at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) (or one vertical rack width) on all sides of the switch unit for
ventilation
• adequate space at the front and rear of the switch for access to cables
If you are installing a single Ethernet Routing Switch 3524GT, 3524GT-PWR+, 3526T, or
3526T-PWR+ on a table or shelf, ensure the surface can support at least 7 to 10 pounds (3 to
4.5 kilograms) .

Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 series stacking
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provides fail-safe stackability. You can
connect up to eight 3500 Series devices in a stack to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up
to 192 to 208 ports. You can manage the stack as a single unit.
By default, all units default to standalone mode, which enables the rear ports to act as front
panel ports. To install or add a unit to a stack, you must change the default mode from
standalone to stacking mode and reboot the unit. From ACLI, the commands are as follows:
>enable
#config t
#rear-ports mode stacking
#save config
#reboot

Stack connectors
The stack connectors of the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series rear panel consist of
the Base Unit Select switch, Cascade Down port, and Cascade Up port. The following diagram
illustrates the stack connectors for the ERS 3524GT/3524GT-PWR+ units.

Base Unit select switch
Use the Base Unit Select switch to designate a switch in the stack as the base unit. Slide the
Base Unit Select switch to the right to designate a switch as the base unit. You can designate
only one switch in a stack as the base unit; that is, with the switch in the base unit position.
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 series stacking
February 2013 19

For all other switches in the stack, the Base Unit Select switch must be in the left position. The
base unit designation for a switch appears on the front panel LED display.
Cascade Down port
Use the Cascade Down port to connect a switch to the next unit in the stack through a cascade
cable. Connect the other end of the Cascade Down cable to the Cascade Up port of the next
switch in the stack. A return cable from the Cascade Down port of another unit to the Cascade
Up port of the first unit completes the stack connection. Refer to Cascade Up port on
page 20 for more information on the Cascade Up port.
Important:
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500
Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking three or more units
(maximum eight units per stack), order the 46 cm, 1.5 m, or 3 m cables as applicable. See
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series Release Notes (NN47203–400) for stack cable
Order Codes.
Cascade Up port
The Cascade Up port provides an attachment point that accepts a cascade cable connection
from another unit in the stack. A return cable from the Cascade Down port of the last switch to
the Cascade Up port of the first switch completes the stack connection, providing maximum
resiliency.
The following figure illustrates a simple, three-switch stack cable configuration.
