Notes: Each combo SFP port supports the installation of 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-TX SFP pluggable transceivers.

Each combo SFP port in use eliminates the availability of one RJ45 port. In other words, only 24 ports per slot can be active at any given time on components equipped with a combination of RJ45 and SFP interfaces. When an SFP transceiver in SFP port 23 establishes a link, RJ45 port 23 is disabled. When an SFP transceiver in SFP port 24 establishes a link, RJ45 port 24 is disabled.

Note: By default, the stack connection ports are covered with removable covers. If you are not connecting stacking cables, you must keep the covers on the stack connection ports to prevent EMI leakage. If you remove the stacking cables, you must replace the cover on the stack connection ports. See Figure 1-7.

Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left and right of the switch.

Do not connect the switch to the AC power source until instructed to do so later in the installation process.

ImportantThe following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.

Note: Once switch IDs are assigned, they are persistent and will be retained during a power cycle to any or all of the switches.Enterasys B5 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Hardware Installation Guide 2-9

Connecting AC PowerAdding a New Switch to an Existing StackUsethefollowingproceduretoinstallanewswitchtoanexistingstackconfiguration.

1. Ensurethatpowerisoffonthenewswitchbeinginstalled.

2. Useoneofthefollowingmethodstocompletethestackcableconnections:

Iftherunningstackusesadaisychaintopology,makethestackcableconnectionsfromthebottomofthestacktothenewswitch(thatis,STACKDOWNconnectorfromthebottomswitchoftherunningstacktotheSTACKUPconnectoronthenewswitch).

Iftherunningstackusesaringstacktopology,breaktheringandmakethestackcableconnectionstothenewswitchtoclosethering.

3. Applypowertothenewswitch.

Connecting AC Power

ToconnectaswitchtotheACpowersource,refertoFigure 26andproceedasfollows:

1. Plugthepowercord intotheswitchACpowerconnector.2. PlugtheotherendofthepowercordintoadedicatedgroundedACoutlet(notshown).The

typeofpoweroutletandpowercordarecountrydependent.

Note: This procedure assumes that the new switch being added has a clean configuration from manufacturing and is running the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack. The new switch being added also must have the same license as the manager switch.

Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a StackWhen using the clear config command (as described in the Enterasys B5 CLI Reference) to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following:

Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.

Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.

Note: The power supply in the switch has automatic voltage sensing that allows connection to power sources ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

Note: If you plan to connect all the switches quickly to allow automatic Manager selection, wait until all switches are fully operational before proceeding to the next step.

If you plan to power up each switch and allow it to become fully operational before applying power to the next switch, proceed to the next step.2-10 Installation
