Warnings  
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the server compute module  
enclosure cover to access components inside the system. Only a technically qualified  
person should maintain or configure the system.  
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are  
using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety  
instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and  
maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the  
described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /  
components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and  
will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which  
the product is sold.  
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To  
remove power from the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet  
or the chassis. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis,  
add, or remove any components.  
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be  
present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and  
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached  
to the system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can  
result.  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,  
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this document  
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by  
wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface)  
on your system when handling parts.  
ESD and handling electronic devices: Always handle electronic devices carefully. They  
can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Do not touch the connector contacts.  
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips  
over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your  
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a  
tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the  
narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides  
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the  
function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or  
other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.  
Reinstalling enclosure cover: To protect internal components and for proper cooling and  
airflow, the server compute module should not be inserted into the chassis with the cover  
removed; operating it without the enclosure cover in place can damage system parts.

3 Configuring Device Security  
This section provides access to security pages that contain fields for setting security  
parameters for ports and device management methods. This section contains the following  
topics:  
• Configuring Traffic Control  
• Defining Access Control Lists  
Configuring Traffic Control  
This section contains information for managing both port security and storm control, and  
includes the following topics:  
• Enabling Storm Control  
• Managing Port Security  
Enabling Storm Control  
Storm control limits the amount of Broadcast, Multicast and Unknown Unicast frames  
accepted and forwarded by the device. When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast,  
Multicast and Unknown Unicast frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN.  
This occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes on all ports.  
A Packet Storm is a result of an excessive amount of either Broadcast or Multicast or  
Unknown Unicast messages simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port.  
Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining network resources  
or causing the network to time out.  
Storm control is enabled for all ports by defining the packet type and the rate the packets  
are transmitted. The system measures the incoming Broadcast, Multicast or Unknown  
Unicast frame rates separately on each port, and discards the frames when the rate exceeds  
a user-defined rate.  
The Storm Control Page provides fields for configuring packet storm control.

Managing Port Security  
Network security can be increased by limiting access on a specific port only to users with  
specific MAC addresses. The MAC addresses can be dynamically learned or statically  
configured. Locked port security monitors both received and learned packets that are  
received on specific ports. Access to the locked port is limited to users with specific MAC  
addresses. These addresses are either manually defined on the port, or learned on that port  
up to the point when it is locked. When a packet is received on a locked port, and the  
packet source MAC address is not tied to that port (either it was learned on a different  
port, or it is unknown to the system), the protection mechanism is invoked, and can  
provide various options. Unauthorized packets arriving at a locked port are either:  
• Forwarded  
• Discarded with no trap  
• Discarded with a trap  
• Shuts down the port  
Locked port security also enables storing a list of MAC addresses in the configuration file.  
The MAC address list can be restored after the device has been reset.  
Disabled ports are activated from the Port Security Page.  
To define port security:  
1. Click Network Security > Traffic Control > Port Security. The Port Security  
Page opens.

Defining Access Control Lists  
Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification actions and  
rules for specific ingress ports. Packets entering an ingress port, with an active ACL, are  
either admitted or denied entry. If they are denied entry, the user can disable the port.  
For example, an ACL rule is defined that states, port number 20 can receive TCP packets,  
however, if a UDP packet is received, the packet is dropped. ACLs are composed of  
access control entries (ACEs) that are rules that determine traffic classifications.  
When configuring ACLs consider the following:  
• The maximum number of ACEs/rules per a single ACL are 1018.  
• The maximum number of ACEs/rules in all ACLs are 1021.  
• The maximum number of ACLs applied to a single interface are 256.  
Stages for configuring ACLs:  
1. Define an ACL and the initial ACL Rule.  
2. Add additional rules to the ACL.

Defining IP Based Access Control Lists  
Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification actions and  
rules for specific ingress ports. Packets entering an ingress port, with an active ACL, are  
either admitted or denied entry. If they are denied entry, the user can disable the port.  
ACLs are composed of access control entries (ACEs) which are rules that are made of the  
filters that determine traffic classifications.  
When configuring ACLs consider the following:  
• The maximum number of ACEs/rules per a single ACL are 1018.

notify their local switch or router that they want to receive transmissions  
assigned to a specific multicast group.  
IP — Internet Protocol (IP). Specifies the format of packets and their  
addressing method. IP addresses packets and forwards the packets to the  
correct port.  
TCP — Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Enables two hosts to  
communicate and exchange data streams. TCP guarantees packet delivery,  
and guarantees packets are transmitted and received in the order the are sent.  
EGP — Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP). Permits exchanging routing  
information between two neighboring gateway hosts in an autonomous  
systems network.  
IGP — Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). Allows for routing information  
exchange between gateways in an autonomous network.  
UDP — User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Communication protocol that  
transmits packets but does not guarantee their delivery.  
HMP — Host Mapping Protocol (HMP). Collects network information from  
various networks hosts. HMP monitors hosts spread over the internet as well  
as hosts in a single network.  
RDP — Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Allows a clients to communicate  
with the Terminal Server over the network.  
IDRP— Matches the packet to the Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP).  
RVSP — Matches the packet to the ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP).

5 Aggregating Ports  
Link Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a  
single LAG. Aggregating ports multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases  
port flexibility, and provides link redundancy.  
The device supports both static LAGs and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)  
LAGs. LACP LAGs negotiate aggregating port links with other LACP ports located on a  
different device. If the other device ports are also LACP ports, the devices establish a  
LAG between them. Ensure the following:  
• All ports within a LAG must be the same media type.  
• A VLAN is not configured on the port.  
• The port is not assigned to a different LAG.  
• The port is in full-duplex mode.  
• All ports in the LAG have the same ingress filtering and tagged modes.  
• All ports in the LAG have the same flow control modes.  
• All ports in the LAG have the same priority.  
• All ports in the LAG have the same transceiver type.  
• The device supports up to 10 LAGs, and eight ports in each LAG.  
• Ports can be configured as LACP ports only if the ports are not part of a previously  
configured LAG.  
• Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port configuration. When ports are  
removed from the LAG, the original port configuration is applied to the ports.  
• LAGs can be configured only on external ports.

Configuring Virtual Trunk Group Failover  
The Trunk Group Fail Over Page enables a network administrator to define a Virtual  
Trunk Group Failover feature. The Trunk Group Failover increases network stability by  
ensuring that if a trunk group fails, a different trunk begins to forward the failed trunk’s  
traffic. A Virtual Trunk Group Failover is comprised of user defined port groups that  
include:  
• Uplink Ports — Connects the switch and external network to the associated internal  
ports and server NIC.  
• Associated Ports — Associated with an Uplink port. Uplinks ports forward host  
traffic associated ports to the external network. Although an associated port typically  
connects to a Device. External switch ports can also be an Associated port. For  
example, a server connected to an external switch port as well as to a dependent group  
of ports on an Uplink port that forwards traffic to the external network.  
Ensure the following when configuring Virtual Trunk Groups:  
• The minimum number of Virtual Trunk Groups is one, whereas the maximum is 12.  
• A port cannot be a member of more than one Virtual Trunk Group.  
• Virtual Trunk Group Failover is globally enabled.  
• The Virtual Trunk Group Failover feature cannot be defined on LAGs. However,  
individual ports within a LAG can be added to a Virtual Trunk Group.  
• One Virtual Trunk group can have one or more Uplink ports, and one or more  
Associated ports.  
• Only one Uplink port within the Virtual Trunk Group is required to go up in order for  
all the associated ports to go up.  
• The Associated ports are deactivated within 500ms from the time that the last Uplink  
port in the Virtual Trunk group fails. The Associated ports reactivate within 500ms  
whenever a single Uplink port within the group is restored.  
• Before the administrator shuts downs an Associated port, the administrator must  
exclude the Associated port from any Virtual Failover group.  
• The Associated ports which have been shut down administratively cannot be added to  
any failover group by the administrator.  
• Failover groups can be configured any time regardless of the feature state.  
• When Virtual Trunk Group Failover is disabled, all Associated ports disabled by the  
Virtual Trunk Group Failover feature are re-enabled.  
• When Virtual Trunk Group Failover is enabled, all configured failover groups are  
scanned to update the Associated port status.  
• A log message is generated and sent to the system log and stored when an Associated  
port goes UP or Down.

6 Configuring VLANs  
VLANs are logical subgroups with a Local Area Network (LAN) which combine user  
stations and network devices into a single unit, regardless of the physical LAN segment to  
which they are attached. VLANs allow network traffic to flow more efficiently within  
subgroups. VLANs use software to reduce the amount of time it takes for network  
changes, additions, and moves to be implemented.  
VLANs have no minimum number of ports since they are software-based and not defined  
by physical attributes.  
VLANs function at Layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3  
router working at a protocol level is required to allow traffic flow between VLANs. Layer  
3 routers identify segments and coordinate with VLANs. VLANs are Broadcast and  
Multicast domains. Broadcast and Multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in  
which the traffic is generated.  
VLAN tagging provides a method of transferring VLAN information between VLAN  
groups. VLAN tagging attaches a 4-byte tag to packet headers. The VLAN tag indicates to  
which VLAN the packets belong. VLAN tags are attached to the VLAN by either the end  
station or the network device. VLAN tags also contain VLAN network priority  
information.  
Combining VLANs and Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) allows network  
managers to define network nodes into Broadcast domains.

Defining VLAN Groups  
VLAN groups increase network flexibility and portability. For example, network users  
grouped by MAC address can log on to the network from multiple locations without  
moving between VLANs.  
VLANs can be grouped by MAC address, Subnets, and Protocols. Once a user logs on, the  
system attempts to classify the user by MAC address. If the user cannot be classified by  
MAC address, the system attempts to classify the user by Subnet. If the subnet  
classification is unsuccessful, the system attempts to classify the user by protocol. If the  
protocol classification is unsuccessful, the user is classified by PVID.  
VLAN groups allow network managers to define VLAN groups based on specific criteria,  
including MAC addresses, network subnets, and protocols. This section contains the  
following topics:  
• Defining VLAN MAC Based Groups  
• Defining VLAN Subnet Based Groups  
• Defining VLAN Protocol Based Groups

This section contains information for configuring Generic Attribute Registration Protocol  
(GARP). This section includes the following topics:  
• Defining GARP  
• Defining GVRP  
Defining GARP  
The Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is a general-purpose protocol that  
registers any network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set  
of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address.  
When configuring GARP, ensure the following:  
• The leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.  
• The leave-all time must be greater than the leave time.  
• Set the same GARP timer values on all Layer 2-connected devices. If the GARP  
timers are set differently on the Layer 2-connected devices, the GARP application  
does not operate successfully.  
To define the GARP settings on the device:  
1. Click Layer 2 > VLAN > GARP Settings. The GARP Settings Page opens:

7 Defining Forwarding Database  
Packets addressed to destinations stored in either the Static or Dynamic databases are immediately  
forwarded to the port. The Dynamic MAC Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, or MAC  
Address, whereas MAC addresses are dynamically learned as packets from sources that arrive at the  
device. Static addresses are configured manually.  
An address becomes associated with a port by learning the port from the frame’s source address, but if a  
frame that is addressed to a destination MAC address is not associated with a port, that frame is flooded  
to all relevant VLAN ports. To prevent the bridging table from overflowing, a dynamic MAC address,  
from which no traffic arrives for a set period, is erased.  
This section contains information for defining both static and dynamic forwarding database entries, and  
includes the following topics:

Defining IGMP Snooping  
When IGMP Snooping is enabled globally, all IGMP packets are forwarded to the CPU.  
The CPU analyzes the incoming packets and determines:  
• Which ports want to join which Multicast groups.  
• Which ports have Multicast routers generating IGMP queries.  
Hosts on ports join a specific Multicast group by sending an IGMP report, learned by the  
bridge. This results in the creation of the Multicast filtering database.  
Note: Ensure that Bridge Multicast filtering is enabled before enabling IGMP Snooping (see  
Defining Multicast Groups).  
To enable IGMP Snooping:  
1. Click Layer 2 > Multicast > IGMP Snooping. The IGMP Snooping Page opens:  
Figure 58. IGMP Snooping Page  
The IGMP Snooping Page contains the following fields:  
• Enable IGMP Snooping Status — Indicates if IGMP Snooping is enabled on the  
device. IGMP Snooping can be enabled only if Bridge Multicast Filtering is enabled.  
The possible field values are:  
—
—
Checked — Enables IGMP Snooping on the device.  
Unchecked — Disables IGMP Snooping on the device.  
• VLAN ID — Specifies the VLAN ID.  
78  
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch AXXSW1GB User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
• IGMP Snooping Status — Indicates if IGMP snooping is enabled on the VLAN. The  
possible field values are:  
—
—
Enable — Enables IGMP Snooping on the VLAN.  
Disable — Disables IGMP Snooping on the VLAN.  
• Auto Learn — Indicates if Auto Learn is enabled on the VLAN. If Auto Learn is  
enabled, the device automatically learns about the existing multicast routers. The  
possible field values are:  
—
—
Enable — Enables auto learn.  
Disable — Disables auto learn.  
• Host Timeout — Indicates the amount of time the host waits to receive a message  
before timing out. If an IGMP report for a multicast group wasn’t received on the port  
from any host (located on the port), the port is deleted from the membership list of  
that group. The default time is 260 seconds.  
• MRouter Timeout — Indicates the amount of the time the Multicast router waits to  
receive a message before it times out. If any MRouter message (IGMP query or any  
other multicast router message), wasn’t received on the port, the port is deleted from  
the MRouter membership port list. The default value is 300 seconds.  
• Leave Timeout — Indicates the amount of time the host waits, after requesting to  
leave the IGMP group and not receiving a Join message from another station, before  
timing out. If a Leave Timeout occurs, the switch notifies the Multicast device to stop  
sending traffic. The Leave Timeout value is either user-defined, or an immediate leave  
value. The default timeout is 10 seconds.

Defining Multicast Groups  
The Multicast Group Page displays the ports and LAGs attached to the Multicast service  
group in the Ports and LAGs tables. The Port and LAG tables also reflect the manner in  
which the port or LAGs joined the Multicast group. Ports and LAGs can be added either  
to existing groups or to new Multicast service groups. The Multicast Group Page permits  
new Multicast service groups to be created. The Multicast Group Page also assigns ports  
to a specific Multicast service address group.  
Bridge multicast groups are defined according to MAC addresses. In cases where the  
Bridge Multicast Address is an IP Address it is required to be mapped to a MAC address.  
Multiple IP address can be mapped to a single MAC address and are presented in the form  
of an IP Address range (see Edit Multicast Group Page). The MAC address for the  
multicast group is created as a result of mapping the last 23 bits of the IP Address to the  
Last 23 bits of the MAC address and this allows multiple IP addresses to be mapped to  
one MAC address. The first three octets of such a mapped MAC address have the standard  
form of 01:00:5E:XX:XX:XX.  
To define multicast groups:  
1. Click Layer 2 > Multicast > Multicast Group. The Multicast Group Page opens:

9 Configuring Spanning Tree  
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges.  
STP also provides a single path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops.  
Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an extended network can  
cause bridges to forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in increased traffic and reducing  
network efficiency.  
The device supports the following STP versions:  
• Classic STP — Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating  
loops. Defining Spanning Tree  
• Rapid STP — Detects and uses network topologies that provide faster convergence  
of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops. For more information on  
configuring Rapid STP, see Defining Rapid STP.  
• Multiple STP — Provides various load balancing scenarios. For example, if port A is  
blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the Forwarding State in  
another STP instance. For more information on configuring Multiple STP, see  
Defining Multiple STP.

Quality of Service Overview  
Quality of Service (QoS) provides the ability to implement QoS and priority queuing  
within a network. For example, certain types of traffic that require minimal delay, such as  
Voice, Video, and real-time traffic can be assigned a high priority queue, while other  
traffic can be assigned a lower priority queue. The result is an improved traffic flow for  
traffic with high demand. QoS is defined by:  
• Classification — Specifies which packet fields are matched to specific values. All  
packets matching the user-defined specifications are classified together.  
• Action — Defines traffic management where packets are forwarded are based on  
packet information, and packet field values such as VLAN Priority Tag (VPT) and  
DiffServ Code Point (DSCP).  
VPT Classification Information  
VLAN Priority Tags (VPT) are used to classify packets by mapping packets to one of the  
egress queues. VPT-to-queue assignments are user-definable. Packets arriving untagged  
are assigned a default VPT value, which is set on a per-port basis. The assigned VPT is  
used to map the packet to the egress queue.  
CoS Services  
After packets are assigned to a specific egress queue, CoS services can be assigned to the  
queue. Egress queues are configured with a scheduling scheme by one of the following  
methods:  
• Strict Priority — Ensures that time-sensitive applications are always forwarded.  
Strict Priority (SP) allows the prioritization of mission-critical, time-sensitive traffic  
over less time-sensitive applications.  
For example, under SP, voice over IP (VoIP) traffic can be prioritized so that it is  
forwarded before FTP or e-mail (SMTP) traffic.  
• Weighted Round Robin — Ensures that a single application does not dominate the  
device forwarding capacity. Weighted Round Robin (WRR) forwards entire queues in  
a round robin order. SP queues are serviced before WRR queues. If the traffic flow is  
minimal, and SP queues do not occupy the whole bandwidth allocated to a port, the  
WRR queues can share the bandwidth with the SP queues. This ensures that the  
remaining bandwidth is distributed according to the weight ratio. If WRR is selected,  
the following weights are assigned to the queues: 1, 2, 4, 8.

Aggregating Policiers  
After a packet is classified, the policing process begins. A policier specifies the bandwidth  
limit for incoming traffic on the classified flow and actions are defined for packets that  
exceed the limits. These actions include forwarding packets, dropping packets, or  
remarking packets with a new DSCP value. The device supports per flow and aggregate  
policiers.  
Aggregate policers enforce limits on a group of flows. An aggregate policer cannot be  
deleted if it is being used in a policy map. The Aggregated Policier Page contains  
information for defining the bandwidth limits and define actions to take on packets that do  
not meet the requirements.

Defining Policy Profiles  
This section contains information for configuring policy profiles, and includes the  
following topics:  
• Defining Policies  
Defining Policies  
A policy is a collection of classes, each of which is a combination of a class map and a  
QoS action to apply to matching traffic. Classes are applied in a first-fit manner within a  
policy.  
Before configuring policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map, a  
class map must first be defined, or the name of the policy map to be created, added to, or  
modified must first be specified. Class policies can be configured in a policy map only if  
the classes have defined match criteria.  
An aggregate policer can be applied to multiple classes in the same policy map, but an  
aggregate policer cannot be used across different policy maps. Define an aggregate policer  
if the policer is shared with multiple classes. Policiers in one port cannot be shared with  
other policers in another device. Traffic from two different ports can be aggregated for  
policing purposes.

11 Managing System Logs  
This section provides information for managing system logs. The system logs enable  
viewing device events in real time, and recording the events for later usage. System Logs  
record and manage events and report errors and informational messages.  
Event messages have a unique format, as per the Syslog protocols recommended message  
format for all error reporting. For example, Syslog and local device reporting messages  
are assigned a severity code, and include a message mnemonic, which identifies the  
source application generating the message. It allows messages to be filtered based on their  
urgency or relevancy. Each message severity determines the set of event logging devices  
that are sent per each event message.  
The following table lists the log severity levels:

B Installation/Assembly Safety  
Instructions  
English  
The power supply in this product contains no user-serviceable parts.  
Refer servicing only to qualified personnel.  
Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is  
not the exact type required. A product with more than one power  
supply will have a separate AC power cord for each supply.  
The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power.  
To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC  
power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.  
The power cord(s) is considered the disconnect device to the main  
(AC) power. The socket outlet that the system plugs into shall be  
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.  
SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to  
access the inside of the system, follow these steps:  
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.  
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button.  
3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall outlets.  
4. Label and disconnect all cables connected to I/O connectors or  
ports on the back of the system.  
5. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by  
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of  
the system-any unpainted metal surface-when handling  
components.  
6. Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed.  
After you have completed the six SAFETY steps above, you can  
remove the system covers. To do this:  
1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system if a  
padlock has been installed.  
2. Remove and save all screws from the covers.  
3. Remove the cover(s).  
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Switch AXXSW1GB User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
For proper cooling and airflow, always reinstall the chassis covers  
before turning on the system. Operating the system without the  
covers in place can damage system parts. To install the covers:  
1. Check first to make sure you have not left loose tools or parts  
inside the system.  
2. Check that cables, add-in boards, and other components are  
properly installed.  
3. Attach the covers to the chassis with the screws removed earlier,  
and tighten them firmly.  
4. Insert and lock the padlock to the system to prevent  
unauthorized access inside the system.  
5. Connect all external cables and the AC power cord(s) to the  
system.  
A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been  
running. Also, there may be sharp pins and edges on some board  
and chassis parts. Contact should be made with care. Consider  
wearing protective gloves.  
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace  
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the  
equipment manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to  
manufacturer's instructions.  
The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment.  
Choose a site that is:  
• Clean and free of airborne particles (other than normal room  
dust).  
• Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct  
sunlight.  
• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.  
• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by  
electrical devices.  
• In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we  
recommend you plug your system into a surge suppressor and  
disconnect telecommunication lines to your modem during an  
electrical storm.  
• Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.  
• Provided with sufficient space to access the power supply  
cord(s), because they serve as the product's main power  
disconnect.

Advertencias sobre el montaje en rack  
El rack para el equipo se debe sujetar con un soporte fijo para evitar que se caiga cuando  
se extraiga un servidor o una pieza del mismo. El rack debe instalarse siguiendo las  
instrucciones del fabricante del bastidor.  
Instale el equipo en el rack comenzando desde la parte de abajo, con el equipo más pesado  
en la parte inferior del rack.  
Extraiga las piezas del equipo del rack de una a una.  
El usuario es el responsable de la instalación de un dispositivo de desconexión de la  
alimentación principal para toda la unidad del rack. El acceso a este dispositivo de  
desconexión deberá ser de fácil acceso y deberán incluirse indicaciones que lo  
identifiquen como el control de alimentación eléctrica de toda la unidad, no sólo de los  
servidores.  
Para evitar el riesgo de descargas eléctricas, deberá instalar una conexión a tierra  
apropiada para el rack y para cada pieza del equipo instalada en el mismo.  
Descarga electrostática (ESD)  
Precaución: Las descargas electrostáticas pueden dañar las unidades de disco, las tarjetas y otros  
componentes. Recomendamos que realice todos los procedimientos en una estación de  
trabajo protegida contra descargas electrostáticas. En caso de que no haya una  
disponible, protéjase de alguna forma contra las descargas llevando un brazalete  
antiestático conectado a la toma de tierra de la carcasa (cualquier superficie de metal  
que no esté pintada) del servidor cuando manipule las piezas.  
Manipule siempre las tarjetas con el máximo cuidado. Pueden ser sumamente sensibles a  
las descargas electrostáticas. Sujételas sólo por los bordes. Una vez extraída la tarjeta de  
su envoltorio de protección o del servidor, colóquela con el lado de los componentes  
hacia arriba sobre una superficie con toma de tierra y sin carga estática. Utilice una  
almohadilla de espuma conductora si dispone de ella, pero nunca el envoltorio de la  
tarjeta. No deslice la tarjeta sobre ninguna superficie.
