data.
Table 2: Text Conventions
Convention Description
Angle brackets ( < > ) Angle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you choose the
text to enter based on the description inside the
brackets. Do not type the brackets when you enter
the command.
If the command syntax is cfm maintenance-
domain maintenance-level <0-7> , you can
enter cfm maintenance-domain
maintenance-level 4.
Bold text Bold text indicates the GUI object name you must act
upon.
Examples:
•Click OK.
• On the Tools menu, choose Options.
Braces ( { } ) Braces ( { } ) indicate required elements in syntax
descriptions. Do not type the braces when you enter
the command.
For example, if the command syntax is ip address
{A.B.C.D}, you must enter the IP address in
dotted, decimal notation.
Brackets ( [ ] ) Brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional elements in syntax
descriptions. Do not type the brackets when you
enter the command.
For example, if the command syntax is show clock
[detail], you can enter either show clock or

Convention Description
Ellipses ( … ) An ellipsis ( … ) indicates that you repeat the last
element of the command as needed.
For example, if the command syntax is
ethernet/2/1 [ <parameter>
<value> ]..., you enter ethernet/2/1 and as
many parameter-value pairs as you need.
Italic T
ext Italics emphasize a point or denote new terms at the
place where they are defined in the text. Italics are
also used when referring to publication titles that are
not active links.
Plain Courier Text Plain Courier text indicates command names,

Universal Serial Bus Ports on the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900
Series
The ERS 5900 Series switches include a USB Type A port on the front panel adjacent to the
console port, as well as a micro-USB Type B port.
The USB Type A port enables switch administrators to perform tasks that were previously completed
through TFTP with a commonly available USB Mass Storage Device (also known as a flash drive or
thumb drive). These tasks include:
• software download
• syslog backup
• ASCII configuration file generation and download
File and system operations are limited by the size of the USB device in use. Only USB drives that
comply with the Mass Storage sub-section of the USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 2.1 specification are
supported. Support is not extended to third-party devices that do not comply with these standards.
Consult the documentation provided with the USB drive to ensure compliance with these standards.
Important:
The micro-USB port on the front panel of the ERS 5900 Series models is not enabled.

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. These electrostatic voltages can result from friction, including, but not
exclusive to, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building up of
static charge in clothing. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled
and can result in complete or intermittent failures. While networking equipment is commonly
designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events, voltage sometimes can be
discharged to some connector pins but not others, or to some pins before others, which has the
potential to damage the networking equipment.
To protect the switch against ESD damage, take the following preventive measures before
connecting any data cables to the device:
• Always use antistatic wrist straps. Make sure the strap is adjusted to provide good skin contact.
• Ensure that work surfaces and equipment racks are properly grounded for protection against
electrostatic discharge. The common point must be connected to the building ground wire. In a
properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.
• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap only protects the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Avoid touching any connector pins.
• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.
With new cable installations, you should use an ESD cable to reduce the potential for damage from
static that can build up in cables. See the following figure.

Technical Specifications
The following table provides the technical specifications for the individual switches in the Ethernet
Routing Switch 5900 Series. Ensure that the area where you install the switch and where it operates
meets these requirements.
Warning:
To avoid bodily injury from hazardous electrical shock and current, never remove the top of the
device. No user-serviceable components are inside.
