Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide 1- 3
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 capable of
supporting at least 154 kg (340 lb). A fully-loaded switch
weighs 77 kg (170 lbs).
■At least 2 inches (5.2 cm) on either side of the chassis, and
from the front and rear of the chassis, to allow adequate
airflow through the chassis (Figure1).
Figure 1. Air Flow Requirements
■AC power source(s) within 2 m (9 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

Required Tools and Hardware
The following items are required for installing the Cajun P880:
■ESD grounding strap and an antistatic mat
■Screws and nuts (#10-32 recommended depending on the
type of rack used)
■Phillips head screwdrivers (type 1 tip)
■Tape measure and a level (to check for squareness of rack and
mounting shelf)
Installing the System
The process for installing the system requires the following tasks:
1. Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
2. Installing the Mounting Shelf
3. Installing the Chassis
4. Installing the Power Supply
5. Connecting the Power Supplies
6. Installing the Modules
7. Installing the Cables
8. Installing the Cable Management Bracket
9. Powering On the System
10.Replacing Fan Assemblies
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Protect the modules against damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD) by using a grounded ESD wrist strap while installing and
removing modules. While installing the P880 Cajun Switch:
1. Ground the unit. The unit is grounded through the power cord
when it is connected between the unit and the primary power
source.

Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide 1- 5
2. Lay out the static-dissipative work surface.
3. Connect the ground cord assembly to the ESD mat and to the
ground plug on the front fan tray. This takes a standard banana
jack or a #10-32 screw.
4. Wear the ESD wrist strap and attach it to the ground cord
assembly.
Installing the Mounting Shelf
* Note: The screws and nuts needed to attach the shelf to the
rack are not supplied. It is recommended you use, at
least, a quantity of three #10 pan head screws for
installation.
There are three brackets supplied for the shelf installation: shelf
pieces and one brace for the rear of the rack. To install the shelf:
1. Install the mounting shelf. Attach the two side shelf pieces to the
rack. Make sure that each hole on the mounting bracket lines up
with a hole on the rail. This ensures proper vertical placement in
the rack. Do not completely tighten the screws.
2. Attach the brace piece to the shelf pieces by inserting the
attached stud into the holes on the shelf pieces and tightening
the nuts (Figure 2).
3. Check the rack and shelf to ensure they are square before
installing the chassis. Tighten all screws before installing the
chassis.
Figure 2. Installing the Mounting Shelf

Installing the Chassis
The system can be installed by rack mounting the system.
Rack Mounting the
System * Note: It is recommended that you remove the power supplies
prior to rack mounting the Cajun P880. You can use an
empty power supply slot as a hand-hold when lifting the
chassis.
Chassis weights are:
■The Cajun P880 chassis with one supervisor, no media
modules or power supplies weighs 39kg (85 lbs.).
■The Cajun P880 chassis containing one supervisor, three
power supplies and no media modules weighs 57 kg (125
lbs.).
■The Cajun P880 chassis, containing one supervisor, three
power supplies and 16 media modules weighs 80 kg (175 lbs).
WARNING
Safe rack mount installation requires two people. It is
recommended that gloves be worn when lifting the chassis.
To rack mount the system:
1. Remove the power supplies from the chassis (see "Removing a
Power Supply" for more information).
2. Check that all pre-installed modules are securely installed:
—Check that the supervisor module is firmly installed.
—Check that the Switch Element and switch contoller cards
are firmly installed.
—Check that the fans are securely in place (tighten the
captive screws).

Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide 1- 7
3. With one person at each side of the chassis, use the empty power
supply slots as hand-grips, and lift the chassis onto the shelf.
Slide it back until it is securely seated on the shelf (Figure 3).
4. Align the mounting holes on the chassis mounting ears
(identified by screw icon) with the mounting holes on the rack
and secure the chassis to the mounting shelf and rack rails
(screw holes marked with icon) using a quantity of ten, #10 pan
head (minimum recommended size) screws (not supplied).
Figure 3. Securing the chassis to the Rack
5. Use the tape measure and level to ensure that the chassis is
straight and level.
6. Install the power supplies (see "Installing the Power Supply" for
more information).
7. Install any optional modules (see "Installing the Modules" for
more information).

8. Install the cable management bracket (see "Installing the Cable
Management Bracket" for more information).
9. Attach the plastic trim pieces on the front of the chassis
(Figure 4) (line up the trim piece with the ball studs on the
chassis, the finger pulls turned outward, and clip into place).

Installing/Removing Power Supplies
CAUTION
You can replace power supplies without shutting down
power to the Cajun P880. However, you must turn off the
power to the power supply you are replacing.
Each power supply powers approximately nine I/O modules. You
need a minimum of two power supplies if you have more than 10
modules in the chassis. It takes two power supplies to power a full
chassis. Using three power supplies ensures that the system has
redundant power capabilities.
Use Table1 for the precise power values:
Installing the Power Supply
The Cajun P880 can contain up to three power supplies. This
procedure describes how to add or replace the power supplies in the
unit.
1. Carefully remove the supply and power cord from the shipping
box, leaving the supply in its anti-static wrapping.
Table 1. Power Values for System Devices
Device Power Added/Used
Power Supply + 600 W (1 power supply)
+ 1300 W (2 or more supplies)
Backplane Elements - 50 W
20-Port 10/100 Module - 70 W
P880 Supervisor Module - 50 W
2-Port Gigabit Module (L2/L3) - 35 W
4-Port Gigabit Module - 55 W
10-Port 100Base-FX Module (L2) - 50 W
10-Port 100Base-FX Module (L3) - 60 W
12-Port 10/100Base-TX Module
(L3) - 70 W
Fan Assemblies -75 W

2. After taking appropriate antistatic precautions, carefully remove
the supply from the antistatic wrap. (Refer to "Preventing
Electrostatic Discharge" for more information on proper
antistatic precautions).
3. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the power supply
is OFF. (O)
4. Remove the filler panel from the power supply bay. You can
insert new power supplies into any available bay. (Figure 6).
5. Insert the supply into the chassis and slide it in until it is firmly
seated (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Installing/Removing Power Supplies
WARNING
Support the bottom of the power supply with your free
hand.
6. Make sure that the power supply is seated firmly, with the
captive screw tightened.
7. Attach power cord and plug in.
