OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014 ix
About This Guide
This OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide describes OmniSwitch 6860 switch components and basic
switch hardware procedures.
Supported Platforms
The information in this guide applies only to OmniSwitch 6860 switches.
Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this users guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to
configure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge of OmniSwitch 6860 hardware will benefit from the material in this guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as you are ready to familiarize yourself with your switch hardware components.
You should already be familiar with the very basics of the switch hardware, such as module LEDs and
component installation procedures. This manual will help you understand your switch hardware in
greater depth.
x OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014
What is in this Manual?
This users guide includes the following hardware-related information:
Descriptions of “Availability” features.
Technical specifications for the chassis, power supplies and modules.
Power supply requirements.
The dynamics of chassis airflow, including detailed illustrations of proper and improper airflow
configurations.
Hot-swapping power supplies and modules.
Installation and removal procedures for power supplies and modules.
Detailed illustrations and LED descriptions for chassis, network and power supply operability.
Hardware-related Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
What is Not in this Manual?
The descriptive and procedural information in this manual focuses on switch hardware. It includes
information on some CLI commands that pertain directly to hardware configuration, but it is not intended
as a software users guide. There are several OmniSwitch users guides that focus on switch software
configuration. Consult those guides for detailed information and examples for configuring your switch
software to operate in a live network environment. See “Documentation Roadmap” on page -xi and
“Related Documentation” on page -xiii for further information on software configuration guides available
for your switch.
How is the Information Organized?
Each chapter in this guide focuses on a specific hardware component or a set of hardware components. All
descriptive, technical specification, and procedural information for a hardware component can be found in
the chapter dedicated to that component.
OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014 xi
Documentation Roadmap
The OmniSwitch user documentation suite was designed to supply you with information at several critical
junctures of the configuration process.The following section outlines a roadmap of the manuals that will
help you at each stage of the configuration process. Under each stage, we point you to the manual or
manuals that will be most helpful to you.
Stage 1: Using the Switch for the First Time
Pertinent Documentation: OmniSwitch 6860/6860E Getting Started Information
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Release Notes
A “Getting Started” chapter is included in the OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide. This chapter
provides all the information you need to get your switch up and running the first time. It also includes
succinct overview information on fundamental aspects of the switch.
At this time you should also familiarize yourself with the Release Notes that accompanied your switch.
This document includes important information on feature limitations that are not included in other
user guides.
Stage 2: Gaining Familiarity with Basic Switch Functions
Pertinent Documentation: OmniSwitch 6860/6860E Hardware Users Guide
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide
Once you have your switch up and running, you will want to begin investigating basic aspects of its

OmniSwitch 6860 OmniSwitch 6860 Availability Features
OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014 page 1-3
OmniSwitch 6860 Availability Features
The switch provides a broad variety of availability features. Availability features are hardware and
software-based safeguards that help prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem
failure. In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components
without powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help ensure that the switch is consistently available for day-to-day network operations.
Hardware-related availability features include:
Power Supply Redundancy
Hot-Swapping
Hardware Monitoring
Power Supply Redundancy
For information on power supply redundancy, refer to Chapter 3, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”
Hot-Swapping
Hot-swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing certain hardware components without
powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the chassis. This feature greatly facilitates
hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely
event of hardware failure. The following hardware components can be hot-swapped:
Power supplies
Transceivers
Plug-in modules
Note. For information on adding and removing power supplies and plug-in modules, refer to Chapter 3,
“Chassis and Power Supplies.”
OmniSwitch 6860 Availability Features OmniSwitch 6860
page 1-4 OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an
error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The
trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message.
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the front and rear panels. LEDs are used
to indicate conditions, such as hardware and software status, link integrity, data flow, etc. For detailed
LED descriptions, refer to the corresponding hardware component section in the next chapter.
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. The show commands for all the features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.

Installing the Hardware
Note. For information on configuring a Virtual Chassis (VC), refer to the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8
Switch Management Guide.
Items Required
Grounding wrist strap
Phillips screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
Site Preparation
Environmental Requirements
OmniSwitch 6860 switches have the following environmental and airflow requirements:
The installation site must maintain a temperature between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 113° Fahrenheit)
and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-condensing) at any time.
Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air ventilation at the front, back, and sides of the switch.
Refer to “Airflow Considerations” on page 2-3 for minimum clearance requirements. No clearance is
necessary at the top or bottom of the chassis.
Electrical Requirements
Note. Alcatel-Lucent switches must be installed by a professional installer. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that proper grounding is available and that the installation meets applicable local and
national electrical codes.
OmniSwitch 6860 switches have the following general electrical requirements:
Each switch requires one grounded electrical outlet for each power supply installed in the chassis.
OmniSwitch 6860 switches offer both AC and DC power supply support. Refer to the OmniSwitch
6860 Hardware Users Guide for more information.
For switches using AC power connections, each supplied AC power cord is 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet).
Do not use extension cords.
Installing the Hardware Getting Started
page 2-2 OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide May 2014
Redundant AC Power. It is recommended that each AC outlet resides on a separate circuit. With
redundant AC, if a single circuit fails, the switch’s remaining power supplies (on separate circuits) can
remain operational.
For switches using DC power, refer to the “DC Power Supply Connections” on page 3-34 for
more information.
Unpacking and Installing the Switch
To protect your switch components from damage, read all unpacking recommendations and instructions
carefully before beginning.
Unpack your OmniSwitch 6860 chassis as close as possible to the location where it will be installed.
