The BITS input is an external timing reference that must be traceable to a stratum 3 clock or better. The BITS port on the switch can be configured to accept either a T or an E framed input. Although this clock input is T or E framed, it does not carry data and cannot be used for any other purpose than to derive clocking for the system. Alarm Input Port The switch supports four alarm inputs. The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. Use the CLI to define each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define the alarm severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm message, and the corresponding Alarm LED responds (see the Alarm LEDs Description section on page -9). -3
Front Panel Chapter Product Overview Management and Console Port You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 0/00/000 Ethernet management port or the console port. The 0/00/000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console port connection uses a RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of 0, 00, or 000 Mb/s, and its traffic is isolated from the other ports. See Table -7 for descriptions of the Ethernet management port LEDs. See the 0/00/000 Ethernet Management Port section on page B-3 for pinout information. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the Console Port Adapter Pinouts section on page B-8. 0/00/000 Gigabit Ethernet Ports The 0/00/000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 38 feet (00 meters). The 00BASE-TX and 000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 0BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable. The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default. The switch ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the switch port speed and the duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection. For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-mdix) feature is enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a switch 0/00/000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection. SFP+ and SFP Modules The switch 0-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules are used for connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP+ module slot. You can use any combination of SFP+ or SFP modules. The SFP+ modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections. The SFP+ module slots support SFP+ and 000BASE-X SFP modules. The SFP+ module slots do not support 00BASE-X and 000BASE-T modules. Use only Cisco SFP+ or SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. -4

Chapter Product Overview Power Supply Module Features Power Supply Module Features The Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X switches support two power supply modules, either AC or DC input. You can install two AC or DC input power supply modules, a mix of AC and DC input power supply modules, or one power supply and one fan module. The power supply and fan modules are hot-swappable. Caution Both slots must be occupied either by two power supply modules or a power supply and a fan module. Do not run the switch with an empty slot unless you are replacing a faulty power supply or fan module. Running the switch with an empty slot triggers an alarm. Each power supply module contains three fans. The switch can operate safely if one fan fails. A fan failure triggers an alarm. When a fan fails, replace the power supply module immediately. See Chapter 3, Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and Fan Modules, for instructions on installing the AC and DC input power supply and fan module. See Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for voltage and other specifications. Power Supply Module LEDs The power supply module LEDs show the status of the power supply modules.

Installation Guidelines Chapter Switch Installation Installation Guidelines Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met: For Ethernet ports and 000BASE-T SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 38 feet (00 meters). For cable requirements for SFP+ and SFP module connections, see the Cable Pinouts section on page B-7. Operating environment is within the ranges listed in Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Front-panel indicators can be easily read, and access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling. AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the connector. Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables. Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. Note If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature. Before you connect the switch to a power source, note the power consumption specifications in Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Verifying Switch Operation Before installing the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf, you should power the switch and verify that the switch passes the power-on self-test (POST). To power on the switch, see Chapter 3, Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and Fan Modules. When the switch begins POST, the System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain green. When the switch passes POST, the System LED becomes green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the System LED is amber. Note Contact Cisco Systems immediately if your switch fails POST. -4

Chapter Switch Installation Connecting to the 0/00/000 Ports Connecting to the 0/00/000 Ports The switch 0/00/000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage. To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports: Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex. Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection. Follow these steps to connect to 0BASE-T, 00BASE-TX, or 000-BASE-T devices: Step When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See Figure -5.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the Cables and Adapters section on page B-5 for cable-pinout descriptions.) Note Step You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-mdix) feature. The switch then detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 0/00/000 or 000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when both devices have established link. (See Figure -5.) Figure -5 Connecting to an Ethernet Port X 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 X X X 07933 Step 3 Step 4 The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn green, the device at the other end might not be turned on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See Chapter 4, Troubleshooting, for solutions to cabling problems. Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if necessary. Repeat Steps through 3 to connect each device. -9

Statement 008 Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP+ or SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP+ or SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light. Before connecting to the SFP+ or SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in the Installation Guidelines section on page -4 and in the SFP+ and SFP Modules section on page -4. See Appendix B, Connector and Cable Specifications, for information about the LC on the SFP+ or SFP module. Step Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use. Step Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP+ or SFP module port (see Figure -6). Figure -6 Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port 0747 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic connector on a target device. Observe the port status LED. The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link. The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4, Troubleshooting, for solutions to cabling problems. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

The AC power supply module ships with a power cord to connect to an AC power outlet. The DC input power supply module has a single input feed and supports input voltages from 8 to 3 VDC or 36 to 7 VDC. The DC power supply module ships with a terminal block to be wired for DC power outlet connections. The terminal block is covered by a clear plastic block cover that snaps onto the terminal block. You must remove the block cover before you work with the wires. The block cover is slotted so that the wires can exit only one end. If you want the wires to exit in a different direction, remove the block cover, rotate it, and snap it back on. 3-
