Appendix A. Product specifications
This appendix contains the 3534 Model F08 specifications.
Switch components
The 3534 Model F08 contains the following components:
v
A 1U chassis, designed to be mounted in a 48.26 cm (19 in.) rack, with forced-air
cooling that flows from the fan side of the switch to the cable side. You can also
install the switch as a stand-alone unit.
v Eight ports, compatible with SFP optical media that are capable of operating at
2.125 Gbps or 1.0625 Gbps. Each port has a serializer/deserializer (SERDES)
that accepts 10-bit wide parallel data and serializes it into a high-speed serial
stream. The parallel data must be 8-bit to 10-bit encoded data, or the equivalent.
v One RS-232 serial port (DB9 connector) on the front panel.
v
One IEEE-compliant RJ-45 connector on the front panel for use with 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps Ethernet or in-band.
v Human-readable and bar code labels on the front and back panels.
v
20 LEDs:
– One LED on the front panel to indicate the overall switch status.
– Two LEDs for each of the eight ports to indicate port status and link speed.
– Two LEDs for the Ethernet port to indicate port status and link speed.
– One LED in the center of the back panel to indicate the overall switch status.
v
One universal input power supply without an ac switch.
v Five fans:
– Two to cool the power supply.
– Three to cool the system board.
Air is pulled in through the rear intake and pushed out through the vents in the
front panel. The fans are controlled automatically to run at the same speed: 5800
RPM for normal operation; 9700 RPM if the ambient temperature inside the
switch exceeds the upper threshold (see “Environmental specifications” on
page 29 for the temperature specifications of the 3534 Model F08).
Facility specifications
To ensure correct operation of the switch, ensure that the facility meets the
following specifications:
v
An adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, according to the electrical
rating on the switch nameplate.
v An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute available to the switch.
v
The power specifications listed in “Power supply specifications” on page 30.
v The environmental specifications listed in “Environmental specifications” on
page 29.
v
Interference less than the standard levels listed in Table 10 on page 28, under
Immunity.
Additionally, if you are installing the switch in an EIA rack:
