a. Prepare the rack
•Provide the equivalent of one rack of vertical space for each 5928 or
5952 model in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter)
equipment rack.
• Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached to a
permanent structure.
• Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the power
service in the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not
exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.
AVAYA recommends using a filter or
surge suppressor.
b. When you install the switch into a network, ensure to use the
following cables:
• Category 5E or higher specification cabling must be used for 1 Gbps/1000
Mbps operation.
• RJ-45 and DB-9 console port cables and adaptors are as follows:
Confirm that you have the tools and package contents as follows:
Tools Required:
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Console cable to match the console connector on the switch (DB-9 or RJ-45)
• ESD cable (optional)

** Avaya recommends two power supplies for redundancy, load
sharing and full hot-swap replacement of a power supply for uninterruptible operation
• Unpack the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5900.
• Observe ESD precautions when unpacking.
• The switch ships with a filler panel in the second power supply position. This filler
panel must stay in place if you do not intend to install a second power supply.
2Unpack equipment
1. Attach a bracket to each side of
the switch.
Install using the optional 4-post rack mount bracket
1. Attach a front bracket to each guide bracket with four 8.5 mm length flat
head machine screws.
2. Attach the guide brackets to the switch chassis.
a. Use four M4 x 5.5 mm undercut flat-head hex machine screws to attach
the rear of each guide bracket to the switch chassis.
b. Verify if rear screws sit flush in the guide brackets.
c. Test fit the rear mounting brackets in the guide brackets and verify that
the rear brackets can slide in the channels. Remove the rear brackets.
3. Install the switch into the equipment rack temporarily using only the front
rack mounts and screws.
4. Slide a rear mounting bracket into each guide bracket channel until flush
with the rear rack posts.
a. Slide a rear mounting bracket into each guide bracket channel until flush

2. Slide the switch into the
rack. Insert and tighten
the rack-mount screws.
For correct switch operation, install both Fan Trays so that the airflow direction
matches the primary Power Supply.
Fan trays can only be inserted in one direction.
• Use the location pin on the Fan Tray to ensure correct orientation in the
chassis. The Fan Tray is upright if the location pin is at the top.
• Once the Fan Tray is installed, tighten the thumbscrews.
Stacking
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series provides fail-safe stackability.
You can connect up to eight 5900 Series devices in a stack to provide
uninterrupted connectivity for up to 384 ports. You can manage the stack as a
single unit.
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 series back panel provides a Base Unit
switch, Cascade Down connector, and Cascade Up connector for stacking
purposes as shown below:
Base Select Switch
Cascade Down Port Cascade Up Port
Base Unit Switch – used to designate the base unit in a stack. When set to the
DOWN position, this unit acts as the Base Unit for the stack.
Cascade Down and Cascade Up connectors – used to connect a switch to the
next unit in the stack through a cascade cable. Connect one end of the Cascade
Down cable to the Cascade Up connector of the next switch in the stack (shown
in the simple three-switch stack connection block diagram below):
Simplified Stacking diagram
1 = Base unit
2 = Last unit
3 = 0.5m Cascade/Stack cable
4 = 1.0m Cascade/Stack cable
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch 5900 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking
three or more units (maximum eight units per stack), order 0.5 m, 1 m, 3 m or 5
m cables as applicable.
1. Ensure that all switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Unit Select switches on the back of the units to the appropriate
position, depending on whether they are a base unit or non-base unit:
• Base Unit (Unit 1) - Slide the Base Unit switch to the DOWN position.
• Non-Base Unit (Units 2-8) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the UP position.
Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit, the physical
stack order depends on the base unit position and whether you configure
the stack cascade up (stack up) or cascade down (stack down). This
designation depends on the stack cabling arrangement.
NOTE: Avaya recommends you use a Cascade Down (stack down)
configuration.
3. For a Cascade Down configuration, connect stack cables as shown below:

There are two ways to install an Avaya ERS 5900 switch in an equipment rack.
Refer to one of the following sections:
• Mount the switch using the supplied bracket.
• Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit.
Note: For more information, see Installing the Avaya ERS 5900 (NN47211-300).

You can install an AC power supply into either power supply slot in
the switch.
The airflow direction of the power supply in PS1 determines the primary airflow
direction for the switch. If PS1 is not present, PS2 determines the airflow
direction. If any power supply location is unpopulated, a PSU Filler Panel must
be installed.
1. Insert the first power supply into the rear PS1 power supply slot. If a
blanking plate covers the required power supply slot, remove the plate
before inserting the power supply. A small angle on the top corner of the
power supply ensures that the power supply can only be installed in one
orientation in the switch.
2. Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot and securely clipped in
place.
3. Optional: Install the second power supply into the rear PS2 power supply
slot. The airflow direction must match the primary Power Supply. The switch
ships with a filler panel in PS2 position. Leave the filler panel in place if you
do not install a second power supply.
6Powering Up
Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and operating normally. Verify
that the SFP or SFP+ transceivers and network cabling support your network
configuration. Note: The ERS 5900 supports Hot-Swapping of SFP and SFP+
transceivers and direct attach cables.
1. If you are installing SFP direct attach cables, remove packaging, insert the
transceiver connector into a switch port and insert the opposite end into the SFP
port of the corresponding network device.
OR
If you are installing SFP or SFP+ optical transceivers, remove packaging and
insert the pluggable transceiver connector into a switch port.
2. Remove the network interface cover from the transceiver connector
(if applicable) and insert an appropriate network interface cable into
the transceiver.
3. Connect the opposite end of the network interface cable to your network.
4. In both cases, ensure that the device clicks and locks into place.

Install SFP and SFP+ transceivers
The console port is the RJ-45 port shown with a blue border outline on the
front of your ERS 5900 Series switch (note orientation). Use the console cable
(AL2011022-E6) to connect the switch console port to your management
terminal. The maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The
following table describes the RJ-45 console port pin-out information. You can
use the pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use with your
maintenance terminal.

Note: The ERS 5900 uses the default IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 if the switch
does not get its IP address from another source.
Note: the default IP address is not applicable to the out-of-band
management port.
Terminal emulation settings
Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the 5900 Series switch
and the power receptacle type in your country. Ensure you have properly
grounded the switch before powering up the unit.
The switch will power on immediately when it is connected to a suitable AC
power source. The switch does not have a power switch.
Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure the PWR
LED is lit. If not, check if the power cord is correctly connected.
Check LED status of the fans and power supplies. Status LEDs are on the left
front side of the switch. For more information on all status LEDs, see Installing
Avaya ERS 5900 Series (NN47211-300).
