Power Supply in EX-series Switches

EX-series switches use AC power that provides two voltage outputs: 12 V for system
and logic power and 48-51 V (or higher, to compensate for voltage drops along the
path from the power supplies to the RJ-45 connector) for PoE ports. The power supply
in EX-series switches (see Figure 10 on page 15 and Figure 11 on page 15) supports
the three PoE configurations: 8, 24, and 48 PoE ports. The power supply is a
hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU). EX 4200 switches have
an internal redundant power supply, making the power supply in EX 4200 switches
fully redundant. The power supply in EX 3200 switches is not redundant.

Cooling System in an EX 3200 Switch

The cooling system in an EX 3200 switch consists of a field-replaceable unit fan tray
with one blower (see Figure 12 on page 17). The fan tray is located at the rear of the
chassis and provides side-to-rear chassis cooling (see Figure 13 on page 17).
16 ■ Cooling System in an EX 3200 Switch

Figure 12: Fan Tray Used in an EX 3200 Switch
Figure 13: Airflow Through the EX 3200 Switch Chassis
Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis. The
system raises an alarm if the fan fails or if the temperature inside the chassis rises
above permitted levels.
CAUTION: If you do not maintain the temperature inside the chassis at permitted
levels, the system shuts down automatically.

Cooling System in an EX 4200 Switch

The cooling system in an EX 4200 switch consists of a field-replaceable unit fan tray
with three blowers (see Figure 14 on page 18). The fan tray is located at the rear of
the chassis and provides side-to-rear chassis cooling (see Figure 15 on page 19).
Figure 14: Fan Tray Used in an EX 4200 Switch

The fan tray used in an EX 4200 switch comes with load-sharing redundancy that
can tolerate a single fan failure at room temperature (below 40° C/104° F) to still
provide sufficient cooling.
Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis. If a
fan fails or if the temperature inside the chassis rises above permitted levels, the
speed of the functional fans increases to the maximum speed and the system raises
an alarm.
CAUTION: If you do not maintain the temperature inside the chassis at permitted
levels, the system shuts down automatically.

Chapter 2: Preparing the site to Install EX-Series Switch
General Site Guidelines

Proper site planning, site maintenance, and layout of the equipment, rack (if used),
or wiring closet are essential for efficient operation of the switch.
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your EX-series switch
and avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:
■ Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such
as metal flakes.
■ Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions
properly and that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake
vents of the switch.
■ Follow the prescribed ESD procedures to avoid damaging the equipment. Static
discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
■ Install the switch in a secure area, so that only qualified personnel can access
the switch.
Related Topics ■ Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage [topic ref to external file]
■ Environmental Requirements and Specifications [topic ref to external file]
■ Installing and Connecting an EX-series Switch [topic ref to external file]
Environmental Requirements and Specifications

The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean,
well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:

■ The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents
and filters, reducing the efficiency of the switch cooling system.
■ Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the switch may overheat, leading
to the switch temperature monitor shutting down the switch to protect the
hardware components.
Table 10 on page 23 provides the required environmental conditions for normal

switch operation.

Rack Requirements and Specifications for an EX-series Switch

You can mount an EX-series switch in a rack. If you are installing multiple EX-series
switches to function as a virtual chassis, you must install the switches in a rack.
Table 11 on page 25 provides the rack requirements and specifications for an
EX-series switch.
24 ■ Requirements for Mounting an EX-series Switch on the Desktop or Wall

Table 11: Rack Requirements and Specifications for an EX-series Switch
Rack Requirement Guidelines
Rack type Use a front-mount rack, four-post (telco) rack, or a center-mount rack.
Rack size and strength ■ Ensure that the rack complies with one of these standards:
■ A 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document
number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).
■ A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part Equipment Engineering (EE); European
telecommunications standard for equipment practice (document numbers ETS 300 119-1
through 119-4) published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(http://www.etsi.org).
The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack that complies with this standard is
usually wider than the switch's rack-mounting brackets, which measure 19 in. (48.2 cm)
from outer edge to outer edge. Use approved wing devices to narrow the opening between
the rails as required.
■ Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the switch chassis' external
dimensions. See Table 12 on page 25.
■ Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance around the
switch and rack.
Rack connection to ■ Secure the rack to the building structure.

building structure ■ If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
■ Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets if maximum stability is
required.
One pair of rack-mounting brackets is supplied with the EX-series switch. The holes
in the rack-mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.445 cm), so the switch
can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
The outer edges of the rack-mounting brackets extend the width of either chassis to
19 in. (48.2 cm), and the front of the chassis extends approximately 0.5 in. (1.27 cm)
beyond the rack-mounting brackets. The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must
also allow for the clearances around the switch and rack.

■ Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the devices that have the fans
or blowers installed on the sides. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the
chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall. For the cooling system
to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
Figure 17 on page 27 shows the airflow through the EX 3200 switch chassis and
Figure 18 on page 27 shows the airflow through the EX 4200 switch chassis.
■ If you are mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing
it on the desktop or floor near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from
other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
■ Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the switch. For service
personnel to remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate
space at the front and back of the switch. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you
allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the
rack.

Understanding Virtual Chassis Hardware Configuration

Virtual chassis is a feature in EX 4200 switches that allows you to interconnect two
or more EX 4200 switches, enabling them to operate as a unified single high
bandwidth switch. You can interconnect a maximum of 10 EX 4200 switches through

the dedicated 64-Gbps virtual chassis ports (VCPs) or the uplink module ports
configured as VCPs to form a virtual chassis. All EX 4200 switch models support
virtual chassis, and you can interconnect different models, offering a range of port
configurations, within the same virtual chassis.
The virtual chassis configuration includes designation of a master switch and a backup
switch, with all other switches in the configuration designated as candidate switches.
Virtual chassis operation is managed through the master switch. Each switch in the
virtual chassis is assigned a unique identifier that is displayed on the switch LCD.

Planning the Virtual Chassis

Before installing EX 4200 switches in a virtual chassis configuration, you must consider
the following factors:
■ The number of switches in the virtual chassis and location—You can interconnect
two to ten EX 4200 switches to form a virtual chassis. You can stack the switches
in a single rack or install them on multiple racks. For information on the size
and strength of racks, see Rack Requirements and Specifications for an EX-series Switch
[topic ref to external file] . See EX-series Switch Chassis Physical Specifications [topic ref to
external file] for the dimensions and weights of the switch models.
■ Cabling requirements for virtual chassis—You can interconnect the EX 4200

switches in a virtual chassis configuration through virtual chassis ports (VCPs)
using the 0.5 meter long VCP cable supplied in the package. Depending on the
virtual chassis configurations you have, you might need cables of different lengths.
If you need longer cables, you can purchase them separately. The maximum
length allowed for a virtual chassis cable is 5 meters. To connect switches that
are installed farther apart, you must configure the uplink module ports as virtual
chassis ports and use them to interconnect the switches.
■ Clearance on the rear side of the switch—You must have access to the rear of
the switch if you plan to interconnect switches to form a virtual chassis.
■ Power supply—You must plan the installation site to meet the power requirements
of the EX-series switches in a virtual chassis. The input power requirements vary
depending on the number of power over Ethernet (PoE) ports in a switch. See
Power Supply in EX-series Switches [topic ref to external file] for the power requirements
for the various configurations of PoE ports in EX 4200 switches.

Power Sources for Redundant Power Supplies

EX 4200 switches have a redundant power supply. When you have redundant power
supplies in a switch, you must connect each power supply to a different input power
source. Failure to do so makes the switch susceptible to total power failure if one of
the power supplies fails.
100 ■ Power Sources for Redundant Power Supplies

AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines

The following electrical safety guidelines apply to AC-powered switches:
■ AC-powered switches are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a
grounding-type plug that fits only a grounding-type power outlet. Do not
circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with local
and national electrical codes.
■ You must provide an external Listed circuit breaker rated minimum 15 A in the
building installation.
■ The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device. The socket outlet must
be near the switch and be easily accessible.
■ The cores in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
■ Green and yellow—Earth
■ Blue—Neutral
■ Brown—Live
■ When a switch is equipped with two AC power supplies, both power cords (one
for each power supply) must be unplugged to completely disconnect power to
the switch.
■ Note the following warnings printed on the AC power supply faceplate:
■ To completely de-energize the system disconnect maximum of 2 power
cordsets.
■ Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag när den ansluts till ett nätverk.
[Swedish]
Power Cable Warning (Japanese)
WARNING: The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for another product.
AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines ■ 101

General Electrical Safety Guidelines
WARNING: Certain ports on the switch are designed for use as intrabuilding
(within-the-building) interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in
GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed outside plant (OSP)
cabling. To comply with NEBS requirements and protect against lightning surges and
commercial power disturbances, the intrabuilding ports must not be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. The intrabuilding ports
on the switch are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or
cabling only. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection for
connecting these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
CAUTION: To comply with intrabuilding lightning and surge requirements,

intrabuilding wiring must be shielded, and the shield for the wiring must be grounded
at both ends.
CAUTION: Before removing or installing components of a switch, attach an ESD

strap to an ESD point and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist.
Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the switch.
■ Install the EX-series switch in compliance with the following local, national, and
international electrical codes:
102 ■ General Electrical Safety Guidelines

■ United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States

National Electrical Code.
■ Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364,
Part 1 through Part 7.
■ Evaluated to the TN power system.
■ Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
■ Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working
so that if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
■ Make sure that grounding surfaces are cleaned and brought to a bright finish
before grounding connections are made.
■ Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your
workspace.
■ Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check the circuit
before starting to work.
■ Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
■ Operate the EX-series switch within marked electrical ratings and product usage
instructions.
■ To ensure that the EX-series switch and peripheral equipment function safely
and correctly, use the cables and connectors specified for the attached peripheral
equipment, and make certain they are in good condition.
You can remove and replace many switch components without powering off or
disconnecting power to the switch, as detailed elsewhere in the hardware
documentation for this product. Never install equipment if it appears damaged.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Many switch hardware components are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily
generate potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam
packing material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe the
following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage ■ 103

■ Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and make sure that it is in direct
contact with your skin.
CAUTION: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The
measurement must be in the range of 1 through 10 Mohm.
■ When handling any component that is removed from the chassis, make sure the
equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to the electrostatic discharge points
on the chassis (see Figure 41 on page 104 and Figure 42 on page 104).
■ Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted
from clothing can damage components.
■ When removing or installing a component, always place it component-side up
on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an electrostatic bag (see
Figure 43 on page 105). If you are returning a component, place it in an
electrostatic bag before packing it.
104 ■ Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Figure 43: Place a Component into an Electrostatic Bag
NOTE: ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 cables such as category 5e and category 6 can get

electrostatically charged. In order to dissipate this charge, always ground the cables
to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the system.
