Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system. |
Note The information in this chapter applies to all Catalyst 5000 family switches unless otherwise noted. |
This chapter describes how to prepare your site for the installation of the switch and contains the following sections:
For detailed information about cabling requirements, refer to the "Cabling Requirements" section in Chapter 3, "Installing the Supervisor Engine," in the Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.
For module-specific network connections, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Family Module Installation Guide.
Note A site planning checklist is provided at the end of this chapter to help ensure that you complete all site planning activities before you install the switch. |
Planning a proper location for the switch and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. You should install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch and control of the environment. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
The switch operates as a standalone system mounted in a rack in a secure wiring closet. It requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment. To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur. The switch environmental monitor can then shut down the system to protect the system components.
To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 0 to 40ºC (32 to 104ºF). It is essential to keep the area around the chassis as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from nearby construction activity) as is possible. For a description of the environmental monitor and status levels, see Chapter 1, "Product Overview," in the Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor Engine Installation Guide.
Multiple switches can be rack-mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However, when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vent of the chassis.
Cooling air is drawn in through the right side of the chassis. Keep the right side clear of obstructions, including dust and foreign conductive material, and away from the exhaust ports of other equipment.
"Specifications," lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements for the switches. To maintain normal operation and ensure high system availability, maintain an ambient temperature and clean power at your site. The environmental ranges listed in Appendix A are those within which the switch will continue to operate; however, a measurement that approaches the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they exceed the maximum operating range.
Note All Catalyst 5002 models have two nonremovable AC-input or DC-input power supplies. |
This section provides site power requirements for the Catalyst 5000 family switches. You should verify site power before installing the switch. Power requirements vary for each Catalyst 5000 family switchensure that you verify the site power for the type of switch you are installing. This section consists of the following sections:
Follow these requirements when preparing your site for the switch installation:
Caution The total maximum load on each AC-input or DC-input power circuit must be within the rating of the wiring and breaker. An overload of input power can result if this requirement is not met. |
Note In Germany only, the electrical rating is 240 VAC and 16A. |
Each Catalyst 5500 AC-input power supply operating at 120 VAC requires a dedicated 20A service and 20A plug and receptacle.
Note It is not acceptable to power the Catalyst 5500 switch from a 15A line cord because of the safety ratings under which the Catalyst 5500 switch has been certified. |
Use the information in this section to estimate the power requirements and heat dissipation of a Catalyst 5000 family switch based on a given configuration of the switch. The power requirements might be useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support the switch. Heat dissipation is an important consideration for sizing the air conditioning requirements for an installation.
The power and heat associated with a Catalyst 5000 family switch varies based upon the following considerations:
Table 3-1 lists the power requirements and heat dissipation information for the Catalyst 5000 family switches. Unless otherwise noted, the information in Table 3-1 assumes worst-case conditions. Typical numbers are approximately 30 percent below the numbers listed here. For modules that are not listed in Table 3-1, use the numbers for the WS-X5010 module as a worst-case estimate. See Table 3-2 for a sample calculation of a switch configuration.

Note The System Ground Connection must be connected to a suitable ground. The power supply ground connection must also be connected to a suitable ground. |
This section describes how to connect a system (earth) ground to the Catalyst 5000 family switches. Two grounding holes are provided on the chassis frame. See Figure 3-1 for the grounding hole location.
Note The earth ground should be used on both AC- and DC-powered systems. |
To connect the switch to an earth ground, you need the following tools and materials:
Note Materials are not provided; contact any commercial cable vendor for the required parts. |
You must complete this procedure before connecting system power or turning on the Catalyst 5000 family switch.
To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad, perform these steps:
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use a crimping tool to secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug.
Step 4 Locate the grounding pad on the switch (see Figure 3-1).
Step 5 Remove the label that covers the grounding pad.
Step 6 Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad.
Step 7 Insert two screws through the holes in the grounding lug and the grounding pad. Ensure that the grounding lug will not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.
Step 8 Install the locking washers and nuts; tighten them to secure the grounding lug to the grounding pad.
Step 9 Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground for the switch.
This section provides the guidelines for connecting Catalyst 5000 family AC power supplies to the site power source.
For a list of the nominal and acceptable voltage ranges for source AC power, see "Specifications."
