Product Overview  
100/1000 ports with mini-GBIC slots for SFP MSA-compliant fiber transceivers  
Optional 10-Gigabit uplink modules  
For information about the type of fiber optic modules supported on the FastIron LS, see “Fiber Optic Modules” on  
FastIron LS 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports  
The switches contain 24/48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps,  
full duplex. Because all ports on these switches support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-  
through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin  
Assignments” on page B-3.) In addition, it is ideal and preferred to use MDIX cable for switch-to-switch  
connections.  
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data  
rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not  
support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Module Slots  
These switches include two slots on the rear panel for single-port 10GBASE uplink modules with XFP  
transceivers, and a single port CX4 module. The 10GBASE transceivers operate at 10 Gbps full duplex with  
support for asymmetric flow control (that is, the port honors incoming pause frames, but does not originate pause  
frames).  
10 Gbps CX4 Ports  
This section describes the 10-GbE CX4 module.  
10-GbE CX4 Module  
The single-port CX4 module is installed in the FLS624 and FLS648 (shown in Figure 2.6). You can order the  
FastIron LS with a single-port CX4 module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device. This  
module is a 10-GbE-CX4 Ethernet uplink card. It can perform data transmission directly through copper links to  
15m(extended 30m) in length.  
The following single-port CX4 module is supported:  
single-port CX4 uplinks for 10-Gigabit.  
Link and Activity LEDs on the module faceplates indicate operational status:  
If the Lnk LED is on, the port is connected. If the Lnk LED is off, no connection exists, or the link is down.  
If the Act LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port. If the Act LED is off, no  
traffic is being transmitted or received on the port.  
When this module is installed, the show media command returns the following display:

Fiber Optic Modules  
A list of the types of fiber optic modules supported on Layer 2 Compact Switches can be found in “Cable length  
NOTE: Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms that are  
larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side by side into a  
SuperX module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older modules are  
identified by the number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the serial number. All newer mini-GBICs  
do not have this limitation.  
Power Supplies  
There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of each switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC  
power cord. The receptacle labeled “RPS” is for the optional redundant power supply.  
Optional Redundant Power Supply  
The switch supports an optional redundant power supply (RPS), that can supply power to the switch in the event  
the internal power supply fails.

Installation Precautions  
Follow these precautions when installing a Foundry device.  
General Precautions  
WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.  
CAUTION: Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed  
o
o
50 C (121 F).  
CAUTION: Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.  
CAUTION: Never leave tools inside the device.  
Lifting Precautions  
WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming  
unstable or falling over.  
WARNING: Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at  
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.  
Power Precautions  
CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the  
circuits fails.  
CAUTION: To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.  
CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To  
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed  
on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere rat-  
ings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.  
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.  
WARNING: 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.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide  
Installing a Redundant Power Supply  
About the RPS2-EIF Redundant Power Supply  
Overview  
Foundry Network’s External Redundant Power Supply (RPS2-EIF) can supply a maximum of 150 Watts of output  
power per port, a total of 600 Watts of backup power to four FasrIron devices in the event of an AC loss or failure  
of an internal power supply.  
The system operates as a backup to a switch's internal power supply. If an internal power supply fails, the RPS will  
support the full load of the switch without affecting network operation.  
The following devices are supported by the FastIron RPS2-EIF: Foundry FastIron LS624 and FastIron LS648.  
Features and Benefits  
Supports four FastIron devices with 12V DC output  
Status LEDs located on the front panel  
AC line cord can draw power from a different supply circuit  
DC line cord provides backup power to the attached device  
Thermal overload protection prevents the RPS from overheating if a thermal overload occurs.  
Over-voltage protection shuts down an output channel if the voltage exceeds a preset threshold.  
Over-current protection shuts down the RPS if the output load exceeds a preset threshold.  
Short-circuit protection prevents the RPS from being damaged from a short circuit on any output channel.  
The power supply will operate under a no-load condition.  
Front and Rear Panels  
Four power indicators and one fan indicator are located on the RPS’s front panel. The AC supply and DC backup  
receptacles are located on the RPS’s rear panel.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide  
Installing a FastIron LS Redundant Power Supply  
Installation  
An RPS may be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack.  
WARNING: DO NOT place an RPS unit on the floor as the case is not waterproof. It is recommended that either  
of the RPS units be installed in a network equipment rack.  
Selecting a Site  
RPS2-EIF 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.  
Maintain temperatures within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 121 °F) and humidity levels within 5% to 95%, non-  
condensing  
Provide adequate space (approximately 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  
Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other  
sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.  
Provide a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of  
each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge  
suppressor is recommended.  
Equipment Checklist  
After unpacking the FastIron RPS2-EIF, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. (See  
“Package Contents” on page 3-8.) Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary  
installation equipment.  
Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment  
If you plan to rack-mount the RPS, 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)  
Mounting  
FastIron RPS units 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 mounting the unit in a rack, 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.  
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.

Installing a FastIron LS Switch  
NOTE: Slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. You must power off the switch before installing or removing a  
module.  
To install an optional module into the switch, do the following:  
1. Remove the blank metal plate (or a previously installed module) from the appropriate slot by removing the two  
screws with a flat-head screwdriver.  
2. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any  
potential static electricity. Foundry recommends using an ESD wrist strap during installation.  
3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.  
4. Holding the module level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the way into the slot,  
ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.  
5. When you are sure the module has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the  
module in the slot.  
6. When the device is powered on, the module LED on the switch’s front panel should turn green to confirm that  
the module is correctly installed and ready to use.  
CAUTION: If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the device  
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide  
Powering On the System  
After you complete the physical installation of the system, you can power on the system.  
1. Remove the power cord from the shipping package.  
2. Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel.  
3. Insert the power cable plug into a 115V/120V outlet.  
NOTE: To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cord or cords.  
NOTE: The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.  
NOTE: If the outlet is not rated 115/120V, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet.  
Verifying Proper Operation  
After you have installed a redundant power supply, verify that the device is working properly by plugging it into a  
power source and verifying that it passes the self test.  
1. Connect the power cord supplied with the device to the power connector on the power supply on the rear of  
the device.  
2. Insert the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.  
NOTE: The devices do not have power switches. They power on when you connect a power cord to the  
device and to a power source.  
If your installation requires a different power cord than that supplied with the device, make sure you obtain 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.  
3. Verify that the LED for the power supply is green.  
4. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs:  
All of the port LEDs should flash momentarily, usually in sequence, while the device performs diagnostics.  
After the diagnostics are complete, the LEDs will be dark except for those that are attached by cables to other  
devices. If the links on these cables are good and the device has power, the link LEDs will light.  
For more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up, see the section, “LEDs” on page 3-9 and  
Attaching a PC or Terminal  
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 and through Telnet connections.  
The CLI is described in detail in the Foundry FastIron X Series Configuration Guide.  
You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the  
Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web management  
interface, or IronView Network Manager.  
To attach a management station using the serial port:  
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through cable. The serial port has a  
male DB-9 connector.

Assigning Permanent Passwords  
Configuring IP Addresses  
Connect your device to another networking device.  
Troubleshoot any problems that can arise.  
Assigning Permanent Passwords  
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Foundry strongly recommends assigning  
passwords. See the Foundry Security Guide.  
NOTE: You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using  
IronView Network Manager if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.  
The CLI contains the following access levels:  
User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system  
information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.  
Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You can  
perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and clear  
caches at this level.  
CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and configure  
switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged  
level of the EXEC mode.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide  
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:  
Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system  
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.  
NOTE: You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.  
Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)  
parameters.  
Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.  
To set passwords:  
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode:  
FLS648 Switch> enable  
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:  
FLS648 Switch# configure terminal  
FLS648 Switch(config)#  
3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password:  
FLS648 Switch(config)# enable super-user-password <text>  
NOTE: You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.  
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:  
FLS648 Switch(config)# enable port-config-password <text>  
FLS648 Switch(config)# enable read-only-password <text>  
NOTE: If you forget your super-user password, see “Recovering from a Lost Password” on page 4-2.  
Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password <text>  
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.  
Recovering from a Lost Password  
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for the device  
but the password has been lost, you can regain super-user access to the device using the following procedure.  
NOTE: Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.  
To recover from a lost password:  
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Foundry device.  
2. Reboot the device.  
3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.  
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)  
5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system  
password check.  
After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity  
Configuring IP Addresses  
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the  
system using the other management interfaces. In addition, Foundry routers require an IP subnet address for the  
subnet in which you plan to place them in your network.  
Foundry devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and  
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.  
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter  
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.  
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask  
immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network  
mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.  
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can  
change the display to the prefix format. See the Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide or the Foundry  
Enterprise Configuration and Management Guide.  
NOTE: If your network uses a BootStrap Protocol (BootP) server or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol  
(DHCP) server, you can allow the Foundry device to obtain IP addresses for the hosts on the network.  
Devices Running Layer 2 Software  
To configure an IP Address on a device running Layer 2 software:  
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.  
FLS648 Switch> enable  
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FLS648 Switch#), then press  
Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:  
FLS648 Switch# erase startup-config  
CAUTION: Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a  
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the  
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to  
the startup-config file.  
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:  
FLS648 Switch# configure terminal  
FLS648 Switch(config)#  
Privileged EXEC Level  
Global CONFIG Level  
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.  
FLS648 Switch(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0  
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.  
FLS648 Switch(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1  
NOTE: You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.  
Syntax: enable [<password>]  
Syntax: configure terminal  
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>

Connecting Network Devices  
Foundry devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Foundry  
devices.  
Connectors  
For port pinouts, see the section “Pinouts and Signaling” on page 2-6.  
Cable Specifications  
See “Cable Specifications” on page 2-7 for cable lengths and types.  
Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs  
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another Foundry device, a  
crossover cable is required (Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a  
straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.  
NOTE: The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI/MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection  
between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may  
work as well. For more information about this feature, see the Foundry FastIron X-Series Configuration Guide or  
the Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Basic Configuration Guide.

For direct attachment from the Foundry device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, fiber cabling with an LC  
connector is required.  
To connect the Foundry device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following:  
Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or mini-GBIC for Gigabit Ethernet ports, or XFP-MSA transceiver  
for 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports)  
Cable the fiber optic module  
The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.  
Installing a Fiber Optic Module  
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet  
fiber port you want to use.  
You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the FastIron LS is powered on and running.  
Before installing one of these modules into the port, have the following on hand:  
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.  
WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.  
To install a fiber optic module, do the following:  
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 module from its protective packaging.  
3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to  
prevent incorrect insertion.  
Cabling a Fiber Optic Module  
To cable a fiber optic module, do the following:  
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.  
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the  
port connectors. For more information, see “Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page 4-6.  
3. Gently insert the cable connector(s) (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector(s)  
until the tabs lock into place.  
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more  
information about the LED indicators, see Table 4.2 on page 4-7.  
Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors  
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and the fiber  
cable connectors, Foundry strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and  
reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the  
optic launch power.  
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Foundry recommends using the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner that shipped with  
your FastIron LS. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following Website:  
When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.  
Testing Connectivity  
You can observe the LEDs related to network connection.  
Observing LEDs  
After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network connections are  
functioning properly. Table 4.2 outlines the LEDs related to the network connections, the desired state of each  
LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.

Managing FastIron LS Temperature Settings  
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the FastIron LS and how to change the temperature  
warning and shutdown levels.  
Using the Temperature Sensor on the FastIron LS  
The FastIron LS comes with a built-in temperature sensor. The temperature sensor causes the device to generate  
a Syslog message and SNMP trap if the temperature exceeds a specified warning level or shutdown level. If the  
device’s temperature exceeds the safe threshold (shutdown level), the device will reboot if it stays in the safe  
threshold for five minutes.  
The software reads the temperature sensor according to the device poll time, which is 60 seconds by default. If  
the temperature equals or exceeds the shutdown temperature for five consecutive polls of the temperature by the  
software, the software will reboot the device to prevent damage.

Power and Cooling Problems  
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem  
with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after  
running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet,  
and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot  
isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact Technical  
Support for assistance.  
Installation  
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear  
to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate  
environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.  
In-Band Access  
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network  
using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software. However, you must first  
configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble  
establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection.  
Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are  
connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network  
cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.

Foundry FastIron LS Layer 2 Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide  
CAUTION:  
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case  
one of the circuits fails.  
VORSICHT:  
Es empfiehlt sich die Installation eines separaten Stromkreiszweiges für jede Wechselstrom-  
Elektroschnur als Redundanz im Fall des Ausfalls eines Stromkreises.  
MISE EN GARDE: Utilisez un circuit de dérivation différent pour chaque cordon d’alimentation C.A. Ainsi, il y  
aura un circuit redondant en cas de panne d’un des circuits.  
PRECAUCIÓN:  
CAUTION:  
Use un circuito derivado separado para cada cordón de alimentación de CA, con lo que se  
proporcionará redundancia en caso de que uno de los circuitos falle.  
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current  
protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere  
(amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total  
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the  
devices near the input power connectors.  
VORSICHT:  
Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät überbelastet  
werden. Addieren Sie die Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte, die am selben  
Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie feststellen, ob die Gefahr einer  
Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen Sie diese Summe mit der  
Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme (in Ampere) stehen  
normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben den Eingangsstromanschlüssen.  
MISE EN GARDE: Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le  
câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des circuits  
d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les dispositifs installés sur  
le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la limite de charge  
du circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement imprimée sur chaque  
dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée d'alimentation.  
PRECAUCIÓN:  
Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la  
protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los circuitos de  
suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de todos los instrumentos  
instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma con el límite nominal  
para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas están generalmente  
impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los conectores de corriente de entrada.  
CAUTION:  
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a  
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you  
accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory  
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.  
VORSICHT:  
Verwenden Sie den Befehl "Erase startup-config" (Löschen Startup-Konfig) nur für neue  
Systeme. Wenn Sie diesen Befehl in ein bereits konfiguriertes System eingeben, löscht der  
Befehl die Konfiguration. Falls Sie aus Versehen die Konfiguration eines bereits konfigurierten  
Systems löschen, geben Sie den Befehl "Write Memory" (Speicher schreiben) ein, um die  
laufende Konfiguration in der Startup-Konfig-Datei zu speichern.  
MISE EN GARDE: N'utilisez la commande erase startup-config que pour les nouveaux systèmes. Si vous entrez  
cette commande sur un système que vous avez déjà configuré, elle efface la configuration. Si  
vous effacez la configuration par accident sur un système configuré, entrez la commande  
write memory pour enregistrer la configuration actuelle dans le fichier startup-config.  
PRECAUCIÓN:  
Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas nuevos  
solamente. Si usted introduce este comando en un sistema que ya ha configurado, el  
comando borrará la configuración. Si usted borra accidentalmente la configuración en un  
sistema ya configurado, introduzca el comando write memory (escribir memoria) para  
guardar la configuración en ejecución en el archivo startup-config.
