Laser precautions
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

ExtremeSwitching SLX 9240 Hardware Installation Guide 7

53-1004985-04
Facility requirements

DANGER
Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products.

DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Extreme Networks, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not
comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

Facility requirements
To install and operate the device successfully, ensure compliance with the following facility requirements.

Electrical considerations
For successful installation and operation of the device, ensure that the following electrical requirements are met:

• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the device nameplate.
• The power supply standards are met.

Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the device, ensure that the following environmental requirements are met:

• Because the SLX 9240 switch can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or back to front, be sure to orient your
switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to
avoid intake of exhaust air.
• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your environment. Consult your fan assembly
and power supply FRU kits to determine the correct configuration.
• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F) while the switch is operating with front-to-back airflow, or 45°C
(113°F) while the switch is operating with back-to-front airflow.

Location considerations
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Devices can be mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat horizontal surface.

The site should meet the following requirements:

• Maintain the operating environment as specified in “Environmental considerations” on page 8.

• For installation on a flat horizontal surface, the SLX 9240 switch should be installed with its top and bottom covers parallel to the
floor. The SLX 9240 switch should not be installed upside down.
• Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions for proper airflow.
• Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling.
• Allow access space for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
• Ensure the status LEDs are clearly visible.

53-1004985-04
 Facility requirements

• Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other sources of electrical
interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within
2 m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge
suppressor is recommended.

Rack considerations
For successful installation and operation of the device in a rack, ensure the following rack requirements are met:

• The rack must be a standard EIA rack.

• The equipment in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintains ground at all times. Do not rely
on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an continual basis, particularly if the device is installed in a closed or multirack
assembly.
• The additional weight of the device does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack in any way.
• The rack is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake.

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the sides of the rack or patch panels to
reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following list provides some recommendations for cable management:

CAUTION
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.

NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with fiber-optic cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optical fibers.
Velcro-like wraps are recommended.

• Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the device.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the device, allows for

Providing power to the device

After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.

1. Install alternating-current (AC) or direct-current (DC) power supplies in the switch. Refer to “Power Supplies” on page 49.

2. Connect AC or DC power cables to the power supply connectors on the rear panel.

NOTE
The equipment should be installed near a power source and in an easily accessible location.

3. Connect the power cables to the 100-240 VAC or 48-60 VDC power source. The power sources should be on separate
circuits to protect against power failure. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are
routed to avoid stress.

NOTE
Power is supplied to the device as soon as the first power supply is connected.

4. After the device has booted, verify that the power and status LEDs are green.

The power supply LEDs display amber until power-on self-test (POST) is complete, and then change to green. The switch
usually requires several minutes to boot and complete POST.

NOTE
To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cables.

For more information about how to interpret LEDs and run diagnostics tests, refer to “Diagnostic tests and monitoring” on page 48.

Establishing a first-time serial connection

To assign an IP address, you must have access to the command line interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based interface that can be
accessed through a direct serial connection to the device.

Access the CLI by connecting to the console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, or Extreme
Network Advisor.

Perform the following steps to access the device through a serial connection.

1. Connect the serial cable to the console port on the device and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation using the included
RJ-45-to-RS-232 adapter..

If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the
exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

page 64.

2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation such as synchronization programs.

3. Open a terminal emulator application such as HyperTerminal on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment, and configure the application as follows:

• In a Windows environment
- Baud: 9600 bps
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
• In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600

Establishing an Ethernet connection

The Gigabit Ethernet management port (RJ-45) on the SLX 9240 switch front panel provides an out-of-band network connection to the
device.

To manage the SLX 9240 switch through its management port, connect the port to the Ethernet network using Category 5 or better
cable. Management of the SLX 9240 switch is described in detail in the Extreme SLX-OS Management Configuration Guide for the SLX

Precautions specific to transceivers and cables

DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

DANGER
Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products.

DANGER
Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Extreme Networks, Inc. and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not
comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.

DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.

CAUTION
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (QSFP+/QSFP28) and the fiber cable connectors, Extreme
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors
and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Extreme recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using a fiber-optic transceiver
connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

ExtremeSwitching SLX 9240 Hardware Installation Guide 39

53-1004985-04
Managing cables

Managing cables
The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Cables can be
organized and managed in a variety of ways, for example, using cable channels on the sides of the rack or patch panels to minimize cable
management. Follow these recommendations:

NOTE
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

CAUTION
Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable by touching the electrical
contacts to ground surface.

• Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for
inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
• For easier maintenance, label the fiber-optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
• Use hook and loop style straps to secure and organize fiber-optic cables.

Installing a fiber-optic transceiver

To monitor the transceivers, the show media command output shows the transceiver information for all interfaces on the device. Extreme
provides support for third-party transceivers, but may require an Extreme transceiver be used for troubleshooting.

Support will not be provided if there is an issue with a third-party transceiver.

NOTE
Extreme-branded removable media devices are recommended for proper operation of the device.

You can install a new transceiver in a slot while the device is powered on and running.

You can install a new transceiver in a slot while the device is powered on and running. By default, a port automatically detects the
transceiver media and its speed, and then configures the port accordingly. For ports not configured in breakout mode, a fixed speed can
also be set using the CLI (refer to the Extreme SLX-OS Command Reference for the SLX 9140 and 9240 switches). Port speed changes
are dynamic and do not require a system reboot. Any mismatch between a transceiver and port speed in “fixed speed” mode causes the
port to be disabled. Note that the autonegotiation of link speed with a link partner is not supported on any port..

Installed transceivers are validated against a predefined list and categorized as Qualified, Unqualified, or Unsupported. Qualified
transceivers operate normally. Unqualified transceivers are allowed to operate, but a log message is generated to inform the user.
Unsupported transceivers are rejected and a port fault log message is generated.

Before installing a fiber-optic transceiver, have an ESD wrist strap available with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the device.

DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.

 Replacing a fiber-optic transceiver

DANGER
Laser radiation. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Class 1M laser products.

Use the following steps to install a transceiver.

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.

2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.

3. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports.

4. Place the transceiver in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 28.

5. Slide the transceiver into the port until you feel it click into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

NOTE
Each fiber-optic transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert a fiber-optic
transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down. The correct position to insert a fiber-optic transceiver in
the lower row of ports is with the gold-plated edge up.

QSFP+/QSFP28 transceivers, as the transceiver may be hot.

NOTE
The pull tab may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the fiber-optic transceiver.

4. Grasp the pull tab and pull the fiber-optic transceiver out of the slot.

5. Store the copper or fiber-optic transceiver in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.

6. Install a new fiber-optic transceiver in the slot.

Connecting network devices

Extreme devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Extreme devices.

Connectors
For port pinouts, refer to “Serial port specifications (pinout - mini-USB)” on page 64.

Connecting a network device to a copper port

For copper connections to another Extreme device or any other devices, use straight-through or crossover UTP cabling.

Automatic MDI or MDIX detection

All 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet copper ports on the devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media
Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. Automatic MDI or MDIX detection is enabled on all copper ports by default. For each
port, you can disable automatic MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.

For more information about automatic MDI or MDIX detection and configuration details, refer to the Extreme SLX-OS Management
Configuration Guide for the SLX 9140 and 9240 switches.

LED activity interpretation

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the device.

There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights may be slow, fast, or flickering. The
LED colors are either green or amber.

Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem
unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

SLX 9240 switch port-side LEDs

The SLX 9240 switch has the following LEDs on the front panel:

• One power single-color status LED (green)

• One status bicolor status LED (green and amber)
• Two management single-color LEDs (green) for speed and link
• Four single-color status LEDs (green) for each of the six QSFP28 ports that indicate the status of the ports in 100 GbE mode,
2x50* GbE mode, 40 GbE mode, 4x25* GbE mode, and 4x10 GbE mode

 Identifying the airflow direction

DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.

CAUTION
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.

CAUTION
Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply matches that of the installed fan assembly. The power supplies and fan
assemblies are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."

CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis with
an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.

Identifying the airflow direction

The power supply and fan assemblies are identified by the following airflow directions:

• Intake power supply and fan assembly with an orange "I" label or without any label: Pulls air from the nonport side of the
switch and exhausts it out the port side.

• Nonport-side air intake

• Port-side air exhaust
• Back-to-front (nonport-side to port-side) airflow
• Part numbers ending with -R

• Exhaust power supply and fan assembly with a green "E" label: Pulls air from the port side of the switch and exhausts it out the
nonport side.

• Nonport-side air exhaust

• Port-side air intake
• Front-to-back (port-side to nonport-side) airflow
• Part numbers ending with -F

both ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug, ensure that the bare
copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare wire. In addition, anti-rotation devices or lock washers
must be used with all screw connections for the grounding wire.

NOTE
The lug must be sized according to NEC/CEC requirements. A typical installation would require:

• Lug, copper, suitable wire size, #10 2-hole, 5/8” centers. For #10 ga. wire, some example lugs are:
- Panduit LCD10-10AF-L
- Pencom EL1244
- Hardware Specialties 912302
• Screw, 10-32, ½", qty 2
• Washer, #10, external locking, qty 2”
Perform the following steps to connect to the grounding terminal.

1. Ensure that the rack in which the SLX 9240 switch is mounted is properly grounded and in compliance with local regulations.

2. Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).

3. Crimp the included grounding lug to a grounding wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire and grounding
lug should be crimped together using a proper tool.

4. Attach the 6 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the SLX 9240 switch using the screws, flat washers, and
lock washers included in the grounding kit.

5. Attach the grounding wire to a grounding point.
