Safety Notice for United Kingdom
The network adapter interfaces housed within the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switches are approved
separately, each one having its own independent approval number. These interface adapters, supplied by
IBM, do not use or contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is one that exceeds 42.4 V peak ac
or 60 Vdc. They interface with the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch using Safety Extra Low Voltages (SELV)
only. In order to maintain the separate (independent) approval of the IBM adapters, it is essential that
other optional cards, not supplied by IBM, do not use mains voltages or any other excessive voltages.
Seek advice from a competent engineer before installing other adapters not supplied by IBM.

xii IBM 8265: Installation Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction
This chapter describes the steps required to install your IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch.
These steps are explained in detail in later chapters of this book.
Before You Begin
The 8265 ATM Switch is designed for easy access, maintenance, installation, and upgrade by service
personnel. When installing the switch, be sure to comply with the environmental and power guidelines
given in the IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch Planning and Site Preparation Guide , SA33-0460. In particular:
Ambient (room) Temperature: 10 to 40° Celsius (50 to 104° Fahrenheit)
Relative humidity: 8–85%, non-condensing
Power source (AC or DC) within 6 feet (approximately 2.7 meters)
Safety regulations stipulate that the table, shelf or rack on which the 8265 rests should be able to
support at least three times the weight of a fully loaded 8265. A fully loaded 8265 weighs
approximately 120 lbs., or 54 kg, so the table, shelf, or rack must be able to support 360 lbs. or 163
kg.
That the surface on which the 8265 is to be installed is level.

Removing the Switch From the Shipping Box
This section explains how to unpack your switch. Refer to the section earlier in this chapter for a list of
shipped items.
Note: All shipping boxes are reusable. After removing all contents, replace the packing materials and
store the shipping box for future use.
Unpacking the 8265 Switch
To remove a switch from the shipping box:
1. Place the switch shipping box on the floor or on a table.
CAUTION:
UL safety requirements stipulate that a table used to support the switch and shipping box prior
to table top switch installation should be capable of supporting approximately three times the
weight of the switch as shipped.
Switch weight as shipped averages about 49 lbs. (22 kg), so a table used to support the hub
must support 147 lbs. (66 kg).
2. Cut the tape that covers the seam on the top of the box and remove the foam packing material. To
remove the foam packing material, pull it straight up.
3. Squeeze and remove the locking inserts at the bottom of the box.
To remove the locking
inserts, press the inner
latch mechanism together
to release them and then
pull them out.

sleeve
Figure 1. Unpacking the Switch Shipping Box
4. Remove the corrugated sleeve by pulling it straight up.
5. Pull off the tape from the top of the bag that covers the switch.
6. Remove the bag by pulling it straight up.
7. Remove the power supply grille from the switch shipping box.
4IBM 8265: Installation Guide

8. Place the switch next to the rack or on the table on which it will be installed. Be sure to stand the
switch on its bottom (do not lay the switch down on its top or back).
9. Place all packing materials in the switch shipping box and store the box for future use.
Note: Do not remove blank faceplates from the switch until after the switch has been installed in its
desired location. If modules do not slide easily into the switch, it may be because the switch has
been lifted after some or all blank faceplates have been removed.

Additional Components
The following components are required to operate the 8265 (these components are ordered separately
from the 8265 chassis):
Power supplies (at least two are required), either:
– 415 W AC (Feature Code 8027), or
– 295 W DC –48 V (Feature Code 8026 or 8028)
You cannot mix AC and DC power supplies.
Control Point and Switch (CPSW) module(s), either:
– Feature Code 6501 (standard model), or
– Feature Code 6502 (enhanced model, also referred to as CPSW2), with integrated power control.
One Control Point and Switch module is required for normal operation. A second module made be
installed for redundancy purposes, provided both modules are of the same type.
Controller module(s) (Feature Code 8000)
Only required when the standard CPSW module (Feature Code 6501) is used. May be installed in
conjuction with CPSW2 module (Feature Code 6502) if you prefer power control to be handled by a
Controller module instead of the CPSW2 module.
One Controller module is required for normal operation. A second module made be installed for
redundancy purposes.
A PCMCIA card containing the Control Point and Switch microcode. This card must be inserted in the
Control Point and Switch module before the module is inserted in the 8265. The following cards are
available:
– Base microcode with UNI and IISP functions (Feature Code 6545)
– Enhanced microcode with UNI, IISP, and PNNI functions (Feature Code 6546)
Media modules (at least one is required).
Check that these components are available before commencing the installation of the 8265.
The following components are optional (and are ordered separately from the 8265 chassis):
Rack Mount Kit, Part Number 25H1834.
Cable Management Tray, Part Number 13J8751.
16 MB Memory upgrade (Feature Code 6516) for the standard Control Point and Switch modules
(Feature Code 6501).
Note: This memory upgrade is required when running the enhanced version of microcode.
Documentation CD-ROM (automatically included when PCMCIA card ordered), Feature Code 6508.
Unpacking Components
Unpack components only when you are ready to install them. Instructions and guidelines for unpacking
components are given in each section later in the book.
