[. . . ] However, if you have to interconnect distinct VLANs or IP subnets, you can take advantage of the wire-speed Layer 3 routing provided by these switches. As a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed: · · · · · · 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber 1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3. 1 miles) for single-mode fiber 1000BASE-ZX: 100 km (62. 1 miles) for single-mode fiber 10GBASE-LR: 10 km (6. 2 miles) for single-mode fiber 10GBASE-SR: 300 m (984 ft) for multimode fiber 10GBASE-ER: 40 km (24. 8 miles) for single-mode fiber However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment. 2-7 NETWORK PLANNING 2-8 CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Selecting a Site TigerStack 1000 units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. · The site should: - be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. - be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing - provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on all sides for proper air flow - be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices - allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible · Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters. · Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6. 6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. 3-1 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switches into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: · Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000BASE-T. · Protection from radio frequency interference emissions · Electrical surge suppression · Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring · Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields RJ-45 Connector Figure 3-1 RJ-45 Connections 3-2 EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST Equipment Checklist After unpacking the TigerStack 1000 unit, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment. Package Contents · TigerStack 1000 unit (SMC8724ML3 or SMC8748ML3) · Four adhesive foot pads · Bracket Mounting Kit containing two brackets and eight screws for attaching the brackets to the switch · Power cord--either US, Continental Europe or UK · RS-232 console cable · This Installation Guide · Installation and Management Guide CD · SMC Warranty Registration Card--be sure to complete and return to SMC Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment available: · Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack--these are not included · A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used) 3-3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Mounting A TigerStack 1000 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: · Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range (see page C-2). · Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit. · Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. · Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains. 3-4 MOUNTING To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. 46 47 48 Figure 3-2 Attaching the Brackets 2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). 46 47 48 Figure 3-3 Installing the Switch in a Rack 3-5 INSTALLING THE SWITCH 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. If also installing RPUs, mount them in the rack below the other devices. Montage (Rack Mounting - German) SMC8724/48ML3 Switch-Einheiten können an ein standardmäßiges 19-Zoll Einrichtungsrack, einen Arbeitstisch oder ein Regal montiert werden. Folgend finden Sie die Montageanweisungen für jeden Positionstyp. Rack-Montage Beachten Sie die folgenden Faktoren, bevor Sie die Rack-Montage beginnen: · Temperatur: Da die Temperatur innerhalb einer Rackeinheit höher als die Raumumgebungstemperatur sein kann, stellen Sie bitte sicher, dass die Rackumgebungstemperatur innerhalb des angegebenen Betriebstemperaturbereichs liegt. (Siehe "Temperatur" auf Seite C-1. ) Mechanische Last: Stellen Sie kein Gerät auf eine Rack-Montageeinheit.
