Selecting a Location
The location you select for installing the system hardware must
meet the following requirements:
■19-inch EIA-standard grounded rack or table, with rails,
capable of supporting at least 80 kg (182 lb) in a cantilevered
application (rails should not deflect or distort). A fully-loaded
P550R/P580 switch weighs 60 kg (130 lbs). A fully loaded
P880/P882 switch weighs 80 kg (182 lbs).
■At least 2 inches (5.2 cm) on either side of the system, and
from the rear of the system, to allow adequate airflow
through the system (Figure 1-1).

Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 MultiService Switch Installation Guide, v5.3
Unpacking and Installing
1-3
Figure 1-1. Selecting a Location
■AC power source(s) within 2 m (6 ft.) (separate sources, on
separate circuits, if you require maximum fault tolerance)
■Ambient temperature between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
■Relative humidity less than 95%, non-condensing
Installing the Switch
The process for installing the switch is as follows:
1. Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
2. Installing the Chassis
3. Installing the Cable Management Bracket
4. Installing the Modules
5. Installing the Cables
6. Ensuring that You Have Enough Power Available
7. Connecting the Power Supplies
8. Powering On the System
* Note: The Avaya P550R switch requires 16MB RAM for proper
functioning.

Preventing
Electrostatic
Discharge
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the module
components:
1. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist
strap (not supplied) when installing and removing modules
from the switch chassis. Ground the other end of the ESD
strap by attaching it to the chassis.
2. Ground the chassis. The unit is grounded through the power
cord when it is connected between the unit and the primary
power source.
3. Lay out the static-dissipative work surface (ESD mat) on a flat
surface.
* Note: Avaya does not supply the required ESD mat.
4. Connect the ground cord assembly to the ESD mat and to the
ground plug on the switch fan tray.
Installing the Chassis
The system can be installed by:
■Rack Mounting the System
■Installing the System on a Table Top
Rack Mounting
the System
To install the switch in a rack:
WARNING
To avoid physical injury, three people are required to safely install
the switch in a rack: two to lift the system into place, and a third to
screw the system to the rack using a Phillips-head screwdriver. A
fully-loaded P550R/P580 switch weighs 60 kg (130 lbs). A fully
loaded P880/P882 switch weighs 80 kg (182 lbs).
WARNING
Do not use the handles on the power supplies or fan assembly to lift
the system.
1. Install the two rack mount flanges from the rack installation
kit to the sides of the switch (Figure 1-2).

* Note: The screws and nuts needed to attach the rack mounting
flange to the rack are not supplied. It is recommended
you use at least four #10 pan head screws to attach the
bracket to the rack.
Compare the holes in the rack mount flange against the
holes in your rack to ensure they properly line up.
Figure 1-2. Rack Mounting the Switch
* Note: The top edge of the rack mounting flange should
“split” the 1/2-inch spacing on the rack for
proper alignment and use of the rack space.
2. Check that all of the pre-installed components are firmly
installed in the chassis. These include:
—Modules
—Power supply and fan assemblies
3. Lift the system into position with one person on each end of
the switch.
4. Check the rack and shelf to ensure they are square before
installing the chassis.
5. Align the mounting holes on the rack mounting flange
mounting ears (identified by a screw icon) to the mounting
holes on the rack and secure the chassis to the mounting shelf
and rack rails (see Figure 1-3).

Installing the
System on a
Table Top
To install the switch chassis onto a table top:
WARNING
To avoid injury, Avaya recommends that two people are required to
lift the switch onto a table top. A fully-loaded P550R/P580 switch
weighs 60 kg (130 lbs). A fully loaded P880/P882 switch weighs 80
kg (182 lbs).
Do not use the handles on the power supplies or fan assembly to lift
the switch chassis.
1. Place the system on a surface that supports at least 80 kg
(182 lb).

2. Install the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of the switch,
placing the feet about 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) from each corner of the
unit in the square recesses provided (Figure 1-4). Clean the
surface of any oils or residue before applying the feet.
Figure 1-4. Table Top Installation
3. Check that all of the pre-installed components are firmly
installed in the chassis. These include:
—Modules
—Power supply and fan assemblies
Installing the Cable Management Bracket
The Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 switch is shipped with a cable
management bracket. The bracket is installed on the right side of the
chassis.
To install the Cable management bracket:
1. Remove the plastic piece from the right side of the chassis.
2. Line the bracket up with the ball studs and screw holes and
push until it locks into place (Figure 1-5).

3. Tighten the rack-mount pan head screws.
4. Thread the cables through the bracket to secure.
Installing the Modules
To install modules into the switch chassis:
1. Carefully remove each module from its shipping carton.
Leave the module wrapped in its antistatic bag.
* Note: Refer to Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
earlier in this chapter before removing the
module from the antistatic bag.
2. Carefully remove the module from the antistatic bag.

7. Tighten the captive screws (see Figure 2-7).
CAUTION Ensure that all adjacent modules are seated and the captive screws
are secured. Failure to do this may result in difficulty installing other
modules into the chassis.
Auto
Negotiation
Issues
You may experience difficulties with auto-negotiation between
some versions of the 10/100Base-TX module and adapter cards
using physical interfaces manufactured by National Semiconductor.
The symptom is loss of connectivity. You can address this problem
by either disabling auto-negotiation and manually configuring the
speed and duplex of the mirror port and network card, or using a
patch cable longer than 5 meters.

Installing the Cables
The following cable types are used with the P550R/P580/P880/P882
switches:
■Fiber cables with SC-type connectors
■Straight-through Category 5 cables with male RJ-45
connectors (end station/NIC (network interface card) card
connections). All I/O ports are crossed over internally so you
can use straight-through cables to attach to end stations
■Crossover cables with male RJ-45 connectors (switch-to-
switch connections)
