Cabling the Switch

The Cabling the Switch section reviews the following topics:

Grounding the Switch

After mounting the switch into the rack, connect the switch to the data center ground. Figure 1 displays the location of the grounding pads located on the left of the rear panel.

Note: Grounding wires and grounding lugs (M4 x 0.7) are not supplied. Wire size should meet local and national installation requirements. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended for installations in the U.S.

À la terre et de mise à la terre fils cosses (M4 x 0.7) ne sont pas fournis. Calibre des fils doit satisfaire des exigences de l’installation locale et nationale. Disponible dans le commerce 6 fils AWG est recommandé pour les installations aux États-Unis.

Connecting Power Cables

Power cords are optional and must be ordered separately. You must use an approved power cord compliant with local and national electrical codes or order one from Arista for use with the device.

Note: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.

 

Installation de cet équipement doit être conformes aux codes électriques locaux et nationaux. Si nécessaire, consulter les organismes de réglementation appropriés et des autorités de contrôle pour assurer la conformité.

The switch operates with two installed power supplies. At least one power supply must connect to a power source. Two circuits provide redundancy protection. Rear Panel displays the location of the power supplies on the rear panel of the switch.

Note: Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

Lire toutes les instructions d’installation avant de brancher le système à la source d’alimentation.

  • Non-Redundant Configuration: Connect power to either of the two power supplies.
  • Redundant Power Supply Configuration: Connect power to both power supplies.

  • Power down the Switch: Remove all power cords and wires from the power supplies.

    Note: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor.

    This unit requires overcurrent protection.

     

    Cet équipement doit être mis à la terre. Ne jamais modifier le conducteur de terre.

Note: A disconnect device must be provided as part of the installation.

Ensure power is removed from DC circuits before performing any installation actions. Locate the disconnect device, circuit breakers or fuses on DC power lines servicing the circuits. Turn off the power line circuits or remove the fuses.

Wire size must comply with local and national requirements and electrical codes. Use only copper wire.

Apply ground connection to the switch first during installation and remove last when removing power.

 

Un dispositif de sectionnement doit être fourni dans le cadre de l'installation.

Pouvoir assurer qu'il est retiré de circuits DC avant d'effectuer des actions d'installation . Localiser les disjoncteurs ou des fusibles sur les lignes de courant continu desservant les circuits. Coupez les circuits de lignes d'alimentation ou retirer les fusibles.

Le calibre du fil doit être conforme aux exigences locales et nationales et les codes électriques. Utiliser du fil de cuivre.

Appliquer connexion à la terre à l'interrupteur premier lors de l'installation et de supprimer la dernière alimentation lors du débranchement.

Wire and Lug Preparation

Before performing any installation actions, ensure power is removed from DC circuits by turning off the power line servicing the circuits. Prepare the stranded wiring before you begin a DC power installation.

Note: Stranded copper wiring is required and should meet local and national installation requirements. Wires and grounding lugs are not supplied.
  1. Attach an ESD grounding strap.
  2. Prepare the stranded copper wiring for the power supply to be used. Table 1 provides wiring, lug, and tightening torque information for the power supplies covered in this guide.
    Table 1. Wiring, Lug, and Tightening Torques for DC PSU
    PSU Wire Size(1) Lug Type(1) Tightening Torque

    1. Unless otherwise noted, applies to -48V, Battery return, and Protective earth wires.

     
  3. Strip the wires to the appropriate length for the lugs to be used.
  4. Use agency-approved compression (pressure) lugs for wiring terminations.
  5. Slip on heat-shrink tubing on the wire ends before assembling the lugs on to the wire.
  6. Crimp the lugs with the proper tool, and ensure that the tubing extends over the barrel of the lugs and the insulation on the wires (Figure 4).

Connecting a DC Power Supply to Power Source

To connect a DC power supply to power source:

  1. Prepare the stranded wiring (Wire and Lug Preparation).
  2. Attach the appropriate lugs to the source DC wires.
  3. Connect the DC-input wires to the appropriate terminals using the specified torque (Table 1) in the following order.
    Note: Remove terminal covers as needed.
    1. Ground wire to the Protective Earth (PE ) terminal.
    2. Negative source DC cable to the negative (- / -48V) terminal.

    Positive (+) source DC cable to the positive (+ / Rtn) terminal.

    Note:

    Ensure power is removed from DC circuits before performing any installation actions. Locate circuit breakers or fuses on DC power lines servicing the circuits. Turn off the power line circuits or remove the fuses.

    Wire size must comply with local and national requirements and electrical codes. Use only copper wire.

    Apply the ground connection first during installation and remove last when removing power.

     

    Assurez-vous de pouvoir retirer des circuits en courant continu avant d’effectuer toute action d’installation.Localiser les disjoncteurs ou fusibles sur les lignes électriques DC entretien des circuits. Mettez hors tension le circuit ligne ou retirer les fusibles.

    Calibre doit respecter les exigences locales et nationales et les codes de l’électricité. Utiliser seulement du fil de cuivre.

    Appliquer le motif connexion tout d’abord pendant l’installation et supprimer dernière lors du retrait de puissance.

  4. Replace the terminal covers as required.
