Positioning Multi-Bay Configurations

Preparing to Anchor Bays

Anchoring procedures for the Series I bays are outlined in this chapter. When installing Series I and Series II bays in either 2 or 4-Bay Configurations, refer to the "Terabit Switch Router Install Guide" for TSR bays and "Terabit Switch Router Series II Install Guide" for Series II bays for specific instructions on anchoring procedures.

Due to its weight when fully loaded, the TSR and TSR Series II systems require sufficient anchoring to maintain fault tolerance through earthquakes and to ensure against tipping.

For more information on dimensions, weights, and floor loading refer to "Terabit Switch Router Install Guide" for TSR bays and "Terabit Switch Router Series II Install Guide" for Series II bays.

TSR 2-Bay and TSR/TSR II 4-Bay Configurations

The architecture of the TSR's toroidal mesh requires that in TSR multi-bay configurations, A bays extend to B bays (and vice versa), in side-to-side (2-bay) configurations. In TSR II multi-bay configurations, there is no distinction between the bay types.

Figure 2-1 shows a 2-bay build out (front bays) of TSR bays and a 4 bay build out (front and rear bays) of two TSR bays and two TSR II bays. Refer to Figure 2-2 for location of bay type labeling on TSR bays.

Figure 2-1. Configuration Build out

Figure 2-2. Location of TSR Bay Type Labeling

In TSR 2-Bay Configurations, A bays ship with side panels installed. B bays ship without side panels. When connecting TSR bays in a 2-bay configuration, the side panel on the side of the bay providing the adjacency is removed before joining the bays together. This side panel is later reinstalled after the bays are joined.

For example, when a B bay is installed in a 2-bay configuration, the side panels of the A bay in position 1 are removed and reinstalled on the B bay in position 3 after connection of the bay frames (refer to Figure 2-1.

Determining Space Requirements

In planning for installation, ensure that sufficient space is allowed both for moving and positioning the bays as well as for installation. For 2-Bay installations, the bays are positioned side-by-side (refer to Figure 2-3). Refer to Table 2-1 "2-Bay Configuration Measurements" for measurements.

Step 5 Set the panel(s) and hardware aside for later reinstallation.

Securing EMI Gasket Material on TSR Bays

Before positioning bays in a 2-Bay Configurations, secure EMI gaskets strips to the side of the bay providing the adjacency in the line up. EMI gaskets strips adhere to the right side of the Bay 1. These EMI gasket strips provide protection from potential EMI interference. The four gasket strips are adhesive backed for easy installation.

PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to secure the EMI gasket strips:

Step 1 Remove the backing from one of the gasket strips.

Step 2 Position and secure the gasket material on the edge of the rear metal plate, in line with the side of the EMI enclosures (refer to Figure 2-8). The gasket must extend slightly beyond the rear surface of the plate.

Step 3 Secure the remaining three strips in position as shown in Figure 2-8.

Connecting Bays - TSR/TSR II 4-Bay Configuration

The 4-Bay Configuration extends the 2-Bay Configuration by adding 2 bays behind the existing 2 bays in a back-to-back row. The rear bay frames connect bay with connection bolts and connector plates. Connection bolts slide through the connection holes in Bay 2 into threaded holes in Bay 4 only on the bottom of the TSR II bays. After anchoring bay 2, and engaging the connection bolts through the bottom bolt holes in Bay 4, the connection brackets are installed. Then, the bays are aligned. Refer to "Adjusting the Alignment of the Bays" on page 49. After the bays are aligned, the anchor bolts are fully tightened. Refer to the "Terabit Switch Router Install Guide" for completing the anchoring procedure. After completing anchoring, the connection bolts and bracket bolts are fully tightened to secure the TSR II bay frames together.

Rotary and Toggle Switch Settings

The toggle and rotary switch settings on the TSR bay backplanes identify the location of each bay in the lineup. The toggle switch identifies where (i.e., front or back row) and the rotary switch number identifies the bay's number within the front or back row. Refer to Figure 2-53.

The toggle and rotary switches are located on the bay controller backplane of each TSR and TSR II bay. Refer to Figure 2-54. The toggle switch specifies whether this bay is in the front or back row (F or B). The rotary switch specifies the number of the bay within the front or rear row in a multiple bay lineup. Refer to Figure 2-54.

NOTE In TSR bays, front on the toggle switch indicates "front." In TSR II bays, front on the toggle switch is indicated by the numeral "0."
