Meeting Power Requirements

Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 10K-Series Switch Installation Guide 33

In areas or applications where these situations cannot be avoided, use fiber optic cabling or shielded

twisted pair cabling (STP).

NOTE

Because harmonics can appear on the neutral line of a typical three-phase power circuit, Extreme

Networks recommends using a harmonics meter in new installations.

Making Network Interface Cable Connections

Use the appropriate type of cable to connect the ports of your switch to another switch or router.

Working carefully, one port at a time, follow these steps:

1 Verify that you have identified the correct cable for the port.

2 Use an alcohol wipe or other appropriate cleaning agent to clean the cable connectors; make sure

they are free of dust, oil, and other contaminants.

3 If you are using optical-fiber cable, align the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) connectors with the

correct corresponding connectors on the switch or the I/O module.

4 Press the cable connectors into their mating connectors on the switch or I/O module until the cable

connector is firmly seated.

5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining cables on this or other switches or I/O modules.

6 Dress and secure the cable bundle to provide appropriate strain relief and protection against bends

and kinks.

Meeting Power Requirements

This section discusses power requirements, including:

• Power Supply Requirements

• AC Power Cable Requirements

• Uninterruptable Power Supply Requirements

For more information about the power specifications of the Extreme Networks family of switches, see

Appendix B, “Switch Technical Specifications” on page 83.

Power Supply Requirements

Adhere to the following requirements in order to operate your Extreme Networks equipment safely:

• Ensure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and

component heat dissipation specifications.

• Ensure that your power supply meets the site power, AC power, or DC power requirements of the

network equipment.

• Ensure that DC connections are made by an on-site electrician.
