IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S Getting Started Guide

About This Guide

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

Appliance J56S quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the IBM Ethernet

Appliance J56S Hardware Guide at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking .

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

on page 23. For a complete list of warnings for this device, including translations,

see the IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S Hardware Guide at

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

The IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S is a high-performance, highly-scalable, carrier-class

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

capacity of up to 60 gigabits per second (Gbps), full duplex. The device is 8 rack units

(U) tall. Five devices can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased

port density per unit of floor space. The device provides eight slots that can be

populated with up to six Services Processing Cards (SPCs) and I/O cards (IOCs) and

two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in nonredundant fabric configurations.

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

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

Table 1 on page 3 describes the minimum system configuration for the IBM Ethernet

Appliance J56S.

Table 1: Minimum System Configuration for the IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S

MinimumComponent

1SPC

1IOC

1SCB

1Routing Engine

Fully populated, the device provides up to 200 Gigabit Ethernet or up to 20 10-Gigabit

Ethernet ports. Two types of IOC interface cards are available, each of which consists

of four Packet Forwarding Engines and enables a throughput of 10 Gbps. You can

install any combination of IOC types in the Ethernet appliance.

The IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware

system is fully redundant, including power supplies and SCBs.

The Ethernet appliance is shipped in a cardboard box strapped securely to a wooden

pallet. Plastic straps secure the top and bottom in place. The device chassis is bolted

to this pallet. A printed copy of this document and a cardboard accessory box are

also included in the shipping container.

Step 1: Prepare the Site

Figure 1: Rack Clearance and Chassis Dimensions for the IBM Ethernet Appliance

J56S

Rack-Mounting Requirements

■You can install the device in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack.

■The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the device chassis's

external dimensions: 14.0 in. (35.6 cm) high, 24.5 in. (62.2 cm) deep, and

17.45 in. (44.3 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 163.5 lb (74.2 kg). If you stack five fully configured devices in one

rack, it must be capable of supporting about 818 lb (371.0 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.

4■Step 1: Prepare the Site

IBM Ethernet Appliance J56S Getting Started Guide

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

without recirculating into the device.

■The device must be installed into 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

■Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2

■2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver

■3/8-in. nut driver

■1/2-in. or 13-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove bracket bolts from the

shipping pallet

■Electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap (provided)

■Antistatic mat

Step 2: Install the Mounting Hardware

To install the mounting hardware in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame

rack:

■Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet or an Open-Frame

Rack on page 6

Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet or an Open-Frame Rack

To install the mounting shelf on the front rails of a four-post rack or cabinet, or the

rails of an open-frame rack:

1. If needed, install cage nuts in the holes specified in Table 2 on page 6.

2. On the back of each rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the lowest

hole specified in Table 2 on page 6.

3. Install the mounting shelf on the back of the rack rails. Rest the bottom slot of

each flange on a mounting screw.

4. Partially insert screws into the open holes in each flange of the mounting shelf

(see Figure 2 on page 7 or Figure 3 on page 8).

5. Tighten all the screws completely.

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 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 J56S Hardware Guide.

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

(see Figure 4 on page 9).

3. Using the lift, position the device in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in

front of the mounting shelf.

4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounting shelf

and position it as close as possible to the shelf.

5. Carefully slide the device onto the mounting shelf so that the bottom of the

chassis and the mounting shelf overlap by approximately two inches.

6. Slide the chassis onto the mounting shelf until the mounting brackets contact

the rack rails. The shelf ensures that the holes in the mounting brackets and the

front-mounting flanges of the chassis align with the holes in the rack rails.

7. Move the lift away from the rack.

8. Install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the

rack, starting from the bottom.

9. 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.

Install the Device Without a Mechanical Lift

To install the device without a mechanical lift:

■Lift the Chassis into the Rack on page 11

■Reinstall Components on page 12
