Preparation
The following topics are covered in this section:
• Site Selection
• Tools and Parts Required for Installation
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

2.1 Site Selection

The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the switch.
• Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the switch where there is ample airflow to the
front and back of the switch. The ambient temperature should not go below 0°C or exceed 40°C.
Important: To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient
temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F).
Pour empêcher l’interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température
ambiante est supérieure à 40°C (104°F).
• Airflow Orientation: The fans and PSUs determine the airflow direction through the switch. The color of
the visible handles or labels indicate the airflow direction.
Note: The figures shown use representative Arista switches to illustrate airflow directions.

• Blue Handle: Air Inlet module. The following figure shows the airflow through the switch with air inlet
modules:

• Red Handle: Air Exit module. The following figure shows the airflow through the switch with air exit
modules:

5
 Rear Panel shows the fan and power supply module locations on the rear panel. Red handles indicate that
they are air exit modules. Verify that each module has the same airflow direction. Base the switch orientation
on the airflow direction of the modules to assure the air inlet is always oriented toward the cool aisle:
• Air Exit modules: orient the rear panel toward the hot aisle.
• Air Inlet modules: orient the rear panel toward the cool aisle.
Most Arista switches are available in configurations to support airflow in either '-R' (Rear-to-Front, port-side air
exhaust) or '-F' (Front-to-Rear, port-side air intake). For proper function, ensure that the installation direction
matches the airflow configuration of the switch. If the airflow direction through the switch is not compatible
with the installation site, check the switch datasheet or with your Arista representative for applicable options.
• Rack Space: Install the switch in a 19" rack or cabinet. The switches covered by this guide may be 1
RU or 2 RU in height. The accessory kit provides approved mounting brackets for the system. Four-post
mounting is recommended for all systems. Where 2-post parts are supplied, they are intended for center-
mounting the device.
When mounting the switch in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the heaviest
equipment at the bottom. Load the switch at the bottom if it is the only item in the rack.
• Power Requirements: Power requirements vary by switch and power supply model. Table 3: Switch
Specifications (Power Input) and Table 4: Switch Specifications (Power Draw) provide information
regarding your specific system.
For redundancy, power supplies should be connected to different circuits. Cabling the Switch describes
power cable requirements.
Important: The power input plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times; it provides
the primary method of disconnecting power from the system.

La combinaison de la puissance-prise d’entrée doit être accessible en tout temps ; Il fournit le

principal moyen de coupure d’alimentation du système.
• Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and foreign
objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify these guidelines are met:
• Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
• All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
• Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
Important: All power connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.
Toutes les connexions d’alimentation doivent être enlevées pour hors tension l’appareil.

 Preparation

2.2 Tools and Parts Required for Installation

Each switch provides an accessory kit that contains parts that are required to install the switch.
In addition to the accessory kit, the following tools and equipment are required to install the switch:

Two-Post Rack
• Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts.
• Screwdriver

Four-Post Rack (Tool-less)

No additional equipment required.

Four-Post Rack (Conventional)

• Screws or rack mounting nuts and bolts.
• Screwdriver
Accessory kit does not include screws for attaching the switch to the equipment rack. When installing the
switch into an equipment rack with unthreaded post holes, nuts are also required to secure the switch to the
rack posts.

2.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the switch.
• Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
• Use a conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) to dissipate static charge.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Use tools that do not create ESD.

 Rack Mounting the Switch

3.1.1 Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis (Two-Post)

The following figure displays the front bracket alignment for attaching the switch into a two-post rack.
Figure 3-1: Bracket Mount Examples for Two-Post Rack Mount

Note: Deep and heavy devices could droop and cause damage to the equipment rack if front or
rear mounted. Arista recommends only center mounting for switches covered in this guide when
two-post mounting is required, and the switch accessory kit includes two-post mounting ears. Four-
post mounting ears are different from the two-post mounting ears and should not be used for two-
post mounting.
The following procedure attaches the two-post rack mount brackets to the chassis.
1. Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
2. Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key-openings.
3. Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
The following figures show the correct bracket attachment for a center mount.
Figure 3-2: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis

To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a
flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).

3.1.2 Inserting the Switch into the Rack (Two-Post)
This procedure attaches the switch to the rack.
1. Lift the chassis into the rack. Position the flanges against the rack posts.
2. Select mounting screws that fit your equipment rack.
3. Attach the bracket flanges to the rack posts.
Figure 3-3: Inserting the Switch into the Rack

After completing the two-post rack mount, proceed to Cabling the Switch.

3.2 Four-Post Rack Mount (1RU)

The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the switch
onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts.
The installation kit provides the following four-post mounting parts:
• 2 six-hole mounting brackets
• 2 rail-rods
• 2 rail-slides
The rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical slide-rails.
Note: For longer chassis, there are two additional pieces to help the switch engage with the
rails earlier.
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and
equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel. Each bracket
hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.

flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).
The rest of the rack mounting steps are the same for both KIT-7001 and KIT-7101.

3.2.2 Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack

Rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical rails. Each rail connects a front post to a rear post. When
the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a screw that attaches
the switch to the rail.
Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs (Figure 6: Attaching the Four-Post Mounting Brackets
to the Switch Chassis). The rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. When installing
rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs located on both sides of the assembled rails,
then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack.
Figure 3-6: Attaching the Four-Post Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis

1 Step 1 4 Bracket clip (attached)

2 Step 2 5 Bracket clip (aligned)
3 Step 3

This procedure attaches the rails to a four post rack:

1. Slide a rail-rod into a rail-slide (Figure 7: Assembling the Rails) until the rail clip makes an audible click.
The rail clip prevents the extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between the front
and rear rack posts.

 Rack Mounting the Switch

3.5 Four-Post Rack Mount (2RU)

The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the switch
onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts.
The installation kit provides two bracket-rail assemblies. The following four-post mounting parts are extracted
from each assembly:
• Mounting bracket
• Rail
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes; the number of pins varies by switch
model. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placement where the flange is either
flush with the front and rear panels, or not flush with the panels. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for
placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.

Important: Attachment pins must engage all bracket holes.

Goupilles de fixation doivent s’engager tous les trous de support.

3.5.1 Extracting the Brackets and the Rails

The following figure displays a bracket-rail assembly and the component pieces (bracket and rail) that
are extracted from the assembly kit. Each assembly must be separated into its component pieces before
mounting the switch into a four-post rack. The two assemblies supplied with the switch are identical.
Figure 3-11: Accessory Kit Components

15
 1 Rail bracket (front) 4 Locking clip 7 Switch mounting ear
2 Rail bracket (rear) 5 Rail mounting ear
3 Switch bracket (for attaching 6 Thumb screw
to switch)

This procedure separates a bracket-rail assembly into its component pieces.

1. Grip the rail with one hand.
2. Pull the bracket flange away from the rail flange with your other hand until the bracket clip catches on
the rail.
If the bracket flange resists initially, verify the thumb screw on the bracket flange is not attached to the rail
flange.
3. While pressing the locking clip on the bracket, resume pulling the bracket from the rail until the separation
is complete.
4. Repeat the procedure for the other assembly.

To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with
a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation
direction).

3.5.3 Expanding the Rails

The rail is a two-piece mechanism. The rail length is adjusted by sliding the rail-rod inside the rail-slide. The
rail clip prevent extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between front and rear rack
posts. When the rail is contracted, the rail clip is closest to the slide end.
The rail is initially contracted and must be expanded to attach onto the rack. This procedure expands the rails
from their contracted state:
1. Grip the slide end with your left hand and the rod end with your right hand.
2. Pull the ends apart until the rail-clip makes an audible click.

3.5.4 Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack

A rail attaches to the front and rear posts. Each end of the rail has two rack plugs. Rails are installed into a
rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. To install rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove
all plugs on both sides of the rails, then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack. This procedure attaches the
rails to a four-post rack:
1. Attach rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots. The slide assembly
must be inside the right posts, relative to the left rack posts (Figure 14: Attaching the Rails).
If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.
2. Attach the slide end of the rail to the front post by extending the rail end past the post, then contracting the
rail while guiding the rack plugs into the post.

17
 3. Repeat Step 1 through Step 2 for the left posts. Ensure the rails are on the same horizontal level.
Figure 3-14: Attaching the Rails

1 Front of right rail 3 Right rack post (rear)

2 Right rack post (front) 4 Rear of right rail

3.5.5 Attaching the Switch to the Rack

After the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a thumb screw
that attaches the switch to the rail.
Note: Illustrations shown may differ from your accessory kit.

1. Lift the switch into the rack and insert the mounting brackets into the slide rails.
2. Slide the switch on the rails, toward the rear posts, until the mounting bracket flanges are flush with the rail
flanges attached to the rack posts.

Configuring the Switch

Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch
without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified
by a DHCP server.
To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin)
accessible only through the console port because it has no password.
When bypassing ZTP, initial switch access requires logging in as admin, with no password, through the
console port. Then you can configure an admin password and other password protected usernames.
This manual configuration procedure cancels ZTP mode, logs into the switch, assigns a password to admin,
assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a network gateway.
As the switch boots without a startup-config file, it displays the following through the console:

The device is in Zero Touch Provisioning mode and is attempting to

download the startup-config from a remote system. The device will not
be fully functional until either a valid startup-config is downloaded
from a remote system or Zero Touch Provisioning is cancelled. To cancel
Zero Touch Provisioning, login as admin and type 'zerotouch cancel'
at the CLI.
localhost login:

1. Provide power to the switch (Cabling the Switch).

2. Connect the console port to a PC (Connecting Serial and Management Cables).
3. Log into the switch by typing admin at the login prompt.

localhost login:admin
4. Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel. IMPORTANT: This step initiates a switch reboot.

localhost>zerotouch cancel
5. After the switch boots, log into the switch again by typing admin at the login prompt.

Arista EOS
localhost login:admin
Last login: Fri Mar 15 13:17:13 on console
6. Enter global configuration mode.

localhost>enable
localhost#config
7. Assign a password to the admin username with the username secret command.

localhost(config)#username admin secret pxq123

8. Configure a default route to the network gateway.

localhost(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.0.2.1

28
 Configuring the Switch

9. Assign an IP address (192.0.2.8/24 in this example) to an Ethernet management port.

localhost(config)#interface management 1
localhost(config-if-Ma1/1)#ip address 192.0.2.8/24
10. Save the configuration by typing write memory or copy running-config startup-config.

localhost#copy running-config startup-config

11. When the management port IP address is configured, use this command to access the switch from a host,
using the address configured in step 9.

ssh admin@192.0.2.8

The following topics are covered in this section:
• Considerations
• Power Supplies
• Removing a Power Supply
• Installing a Power Supply
• Fan Modules
• Removing a Fan Module
• Installing a Fan Module

E.1 Considerations
Review the following considerations when installing the device.
• All fans and power supplies are hot swappable.
• The switch can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply being
replaced must not be connected to a power source.
• All slots must be filled or covered with a blank for operation (even though power supply or fans may not
be functional).
• Before you begin, refer to the Arista Networks document Safety Information and Translated Safety
Warnings available at: https://www.arista.com/en/support/product-documentation.
Note: Descriptions for the removal and replacement of power supplies and fans are for a
representative power supply or fan. Locations of status indicator LEDs may differ. Refer to the front
and rear panel illustrations of your device to locate the appropriate LED.

E.2 Power Supplies

The following steps are required when removing power supplies from a switch.
Note: Only a representative power supply module is shown in Figure 38: Removing and Installing
Power Supply. For the location of the power supply on your switch, refer to Rear Panel.

E.2.1 Removing a Power Supply

1. Ground yourself with an ESD wrist strap.
2. Power down the power supply to be removed by disconnecting the AC power cable.

E.2.2 Installing a Power Supply

You must make space for installing the power supply by removing an existing one Removing a Power Supply.
1. Remove the replacement power supply from its packaging.
2. Slide the new power supply into the empty slot.
3. Slide the new power supply into the switch until the power supply is fully seated and the release lever
snaps into place Figure 38: Removing and Installing Power Supply.
4. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
5. Verify the LEDs on the power supply.
Note: The Power Supply status LED should be a steady green for normal operation.

6. Verify the new power supply operation by issuing the show environment power command.

switch#show environment power

7. The output of the command will list the power supplies in operation and should include the one
you replaced.

E.3 Fan Modules

Note: Hot swap fans within 30 seconds to prevent the switch from overheating. Ensure that the
module you are replacing matches those already installed in the switch.

E.3.1 Removing a Fan Module

The following steps are required when removing or replacing fans from a switch.
Note: Only a representative fan module is shown in Figure 39: Removing Fan Module. For the
location of the fan modules on your switch, refer to Rear Panel.
