IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Getting Started Guide

About This Guide

This guide contains information you need to install and configure the IBM Ethernet

Appliance J34S quickly. For complete installation instructions, and instructions on

installing additional modules such as cards and power supplies, see the IBM Ethernet

Appliance J34S Hardware Guide at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking .

WARNING: This guide contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety Warnings”

on page 24. For a complete list of warnings for this device, including translations,

see the IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Hardware Guide at

http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking .

The IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S is a high-performance, scalable, carrier-class security

device with multi-processor architecture. The Ethernet appliance has a capacity of

up to 20 gigabits per second (Gbps), full duplex. The device is 3 rack units (U) tall.

Sixteen devices can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port

density per unit of floor space. The device provides seven Common Form-factor

Module (CFM) slots that can be populated with up to four Services Processing Cards

(SPCs), up to two Network Processing Cards (NPCs), and up to four I/O cards (IOCs).

The device also has one dedicated slot for the Switch Fabric Board (SFB), two slots

for Routing Engines, two slots for power supplies, and one slot for the fan tray and

air filter.

By installing different combinations of IOCs and SPCs, you can tailor both the number

of network ports and the maximum security processing capacity to suit your network.

Table 1 on page 4 describes the minimum system configuration for the IBM Ethernet

Appliance J34S.

Three types of IOC interface cards are available:

■16-port copper Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) card

■16-port SFP Gigabit Ethernet card

■2-port XFP 10 Gigabit Ethernet card

You can install any combination of IOC types in the Ethernet appliance.

4■About This Guide

IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Getting Started Guide

NOTE: Some combinations of CFMs installed in the device may exceed the power

supply capacity if the device is powered by one or even two DC power supplies. If

the device configuration exceeds the available power, the power management feature

disables one or more of the CFMs to prevent damage to the device or power supplies.

See the IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Hardware Guide for information about supported

configurations.

The Ethernet appliance is shipped in a cardboard carton. A printed copy of this

document and an accessory box are also included in the shipping container.

Step 1: Prepare the Site

Rack-Mounting Requirements

■You can install the device in a four-post rack or cabinet or a two-post rack.

CAUTION: When installing the device in a two-post rack, you must install the

mounting brackets in the chassis center holes as shown in Figure 3 on page 6.

■The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the external

dimensions of the device chassis: 5.25 in. (13.3 cm) high, 25.5 in. (64.8 cm)

deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets

extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm).

■The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured

device, up to 75 lb (34.1 kg). If you stack eight fully configured devices in one

rack, it must be capable of supporting up to 600 lb (273 kg).

■For service personnel to service the device, there must be adequate space at the

front and back of the device. Allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the device

and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the device.

■The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.

■Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit the cabinet

without recirculating into the device.

■The device must be installed in a rack that is secured to the building structure.

■The device should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

■When mounting the device in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

Required Tools

To unpack the Ethernet appliance and prepare for installation, you need the following

tools:

■A mechanical lift—recommended

Step 1: Prepare the Site ■5

Step 1: Prepare the Site

■Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2

■Electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap (provided)

Step 2: Install the Mounting Hardware

The specific mounting hardware required depends on the type of rack being used.

Use the appropriate procedure steps to install the mounting hardware for your

situation.

To install the mounting hardware:

1. Locate the rack mount brackets in the accessory kit.

2. Use the screws provided to secure the rack mount brackets to the sides of the

chassis:

■For a two-post rack, mount the brackets at the mid-mount holes as shown

in Figure 3 on page 6.

■For a four-post rack, mount the brackets near the front edge of the chassis

as shown in Figure 4 on page 6.

6■Step 2: Install the Mounting Hardware

IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Getting Started Guide

3. For installation in a four-post rack or a cabinet, install the support shelf on the

rear posts as shown in Figure 5 on page 7.

Step 3: Install the Device

Because of the device's size and weight, we recommend you install the device using

a mechanical lift. The procedure for installing the device depends on whether you

use a mechanical lift:

■Install the Device Using a Lift on page 7

■Install the Device Without a Mechanical Lift on page 10

Install the Device Using a Lift

1. Ensure the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure

that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and

maintenance. For details, see the IBM Ethernet Appliance J34S Hardware Guide.

2. Load the device onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform

(see Figure 6 on page 8).

Step 3: Install the Device ■7

3. Using the lift, position the device in the rack:

■For two-post rack mounting, align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket

with a hole in each rack rail.

■For four-post rack or cabinet mounting, position the device so that the bottom

rear edge of the chassis rests on the support shelf you installed earlier as

shown in Figure 5 on page 7.

4. Install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned holes as shown in Figure

7 on page 9 (two-post rack) or Figure 8 on page 9 (four-post rack). Use a

number-2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.

8■Step 3: Install the Device

Figure 8: Installing the Device in a Four-Post Rack

5. Install the remaining screws in each mounting bracket.

6. Move the lift away from the rack.

7. Visually inspect the alignment of the device. If the device is installed properly in

the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with

the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the device should be level.

Step 3: Install the Device ■9

Step 3: Install the Device

Install the Device Without a Mechanical Lift

To install the device without a mechanical lift:

■Remove Components on page 10

■Lift the Chassis into the Rack on page 11

■Reinstall Components on page 12

Remove Components

To make the Ethernet appliance light enough to install manually, you first remove

most components from the chassis as shown in Figure 9 on page 10 and Figure 10

on page 11.

■Power supplies

■Switch Fabric Board (SFB)

■Routing Engine

■I/O Cards (IOCs)

■Network Processing Cards (NPCs)

■Services Processing Cards (SPCs)

■Fan tray
