Connecting Two SSA Chassis for Virtual Switch Bonding
Enterasys S-Series Stand Alone (SSA) Hardware Installation Guide 2-17
1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and attach it to the ground receptacle on the switch I/O port
side of the SSA switch before removing the pluggable transceiver. Refer to the instructions in
the anti-static wrist strap package. See Figure 2-9 on page 2-12 for the location of the ground
receptacle.
2. Remove the cables connected to the pluggable transceiver.
3. Release the pluggable transceiver from the port.
4. Grasp the sides of the pluggable transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.
If storing or shipping the pluggable transceiver, insert its dust protector to protect its fiber-optic
ports.
Connecting Two SSA Chassis for Virtual Switch Bonding
If you are configuring two SSA chassis for virtual switch bonding, you must create two physical
connections between each SSA chassis using the 10G ports. For example, you could connect uplink
ports 1 and 2 on SSA chassis 1 to uplink ports 1 and 2 on SSA chassis 2. See the S-Series
Configuration Guide for Virtual Switch Bonding configuration details.
Connecting to the COM Port for Local Management
This section describes how to install a UTP cable with RJ45 connectors and adapters to connect a
PC or VT series terminal to an SSA switch to access Local Management. This section also details
adapter pinout assignments.
What Is Needed
The following is a list of the parts that may be needed depending on the connection:
• UTP cable with RJ45 connectors (supplied with the SSA switch)
• RJ45-to-DB9 female adapter (supplied with the SSA switch)
• RJ45-to-DB25 female adapter (customer-supplied)
Using the UTP cable with RJ45 connectors and RJ45-to-DB9 adapter, you can connect from the SSA
RJ45 COM port to a PC running a VT series emulation software package.
Using the UTP cable with RJ45 connectors and an optional RJ45-to-DB25 female adapter, you can
connect from the SSA RJ45 COM port to a VT series terminal or VT type terminals running
emulation programs for the VT series.
Caution: Do NOT remove an SFP or SFP+ pluggable transceiver from a slot without releasing the
locking tab located under the front bottom end of the SFP or SFP+
. This can damage the SFP or
SFP+.
The SFP, SFP+, and SSA are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and
observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
SFP, SFP+, and SSA. Always leave the SFP or SFP+ in the antistatic bag or an equivalent
antistatic container when not installed.
Precaución: NO quite el SFP o SFP+ de la ranura sin antes abrir la traba ubicada en la parte
frontal del el SFP o SFP+.
Utilice la pulsera antiestática y tome todas las precauciones necesarias durante este
procedimiento. Si no lo hace, podría dañar el SFP, SFP+ o el SSA. Mientras no esté instalado,
mantenga el SFP o SFP+ en su bolsa antiestática o en cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
