Three fan units draw air in through the front and center of the chassis and exhaust air out the back. To ensure that the fans provide adequate ventilation, you must allow a minimum of 15 cm (6 in.) between the rear of the 8265 and the nearest wall (or other vertical surface).

(the use of which is optional). Make sure the table or shelf on which the 8265 rests can support at least 170 kg (375 lb). The selected table or shelf must be less than 2 m (6 ft) from the nearest ac outlet.
The power source (wall outlet or receptacle) at the place you have chosen for the 8265 must provide the electrical specifications shown in Table 4 through Table 9 on page 5 to ensure that the 8265 will not be damaged and will work satisfactorily. Table 4. 8265 Operating Conditions...
Figure 1 on page 7. Use this table and the figure to ensure that you receive the correct power cord with your 8265, and to plan for the correct receptacles. This list does not include all countries. If the required country is not listed, consult your IBM representative.
Note: Do not use a conduit as the only means of grounding. Important: Where a -48 V dc power supply is used with the 8265, refer to the 8265 Nways ATM Switch Installation Guide , SA33-0441.

• 295 W DC (-48 V, Feature Code 8026). You can also install power supplies from an IBM 8260 (295 W and 415 W AC, or 295 W -48V DC). Choose the type of power supply that suits your requirements. You cannot mix AC and DC power supplies.
Determining the Number of Power Supplies Required The number of power supplies required to operate the 8265 and all installed modules is determined by adding together: • The system overhead, the power required by the 8265 to operate the fans and backplane, which is 1 Watt at +5.2 volts.

(of at least one power supply) can be held in reserve. Using 8260 295 W AC Power Supplies Although you can install both 8265 415 W and 8260 295 W AC power supplies in the same switch, this should be avoided when running in power fault-tolerant mode. This is because the lower output power supply (295 Watt) cannot backup a higher output power supply (415 Watt).

The copper cabling with the best transmission capacity is 150-ohm STP-A cabling (referred to as STP and STP-A by the EIA Standard, and as IBM Types 1, 1A, 2, and 2A within the IBM Cabling System). IBM strongly supports and endorses their use for horizontal cabling.
Page 32
• IBM supports the standard multimode optical fiber cable and connectors for horizontal attachment. Although optical fiber may be the appropriate choice for specific applications, its use as the primary data cable for general application from telecommunications closet to office is discouraged since it may significantly limit the choice of economical attachments.
Page 33
Cable Connectors and Attachment Cables Since the standards do specify performance ranges of all elements of the cabling infrastructure, link performance is predictable when all components meet the performance requirements of the installed cable type. If not, the link should be characterized as meeting the performance class of its worst component.
Page 34
Building and Campus Backbone Cabling IBM supports the use of both multimode and singlemode optical fiber in building and campus backbone applications. Not all applications are supported on singlemode and multimode optical fiber. IBM products are designed to operate on cables and connectors as specified in both emerging cabling standards.
Standards Used With Modular Wiring Connectors 50-Position to Modular Wiring The 50-position to modular pin wiring in such components as the Harmonica, Octopus, and Mod Patch Panel is called the sequence. There are seven standard sequences: USOC, MMJ, 258A, 356A, 10BASE-T, EIA and OPEN DECconnect. USOC: This is the original US voice communications industry standard.

FDDI cable using 50/125-, 100/140-, or 85/125-micron multimode optical fibers. IBM recommends 62.5/125-micron multimode optical fiber. IBM also supports 50/125- (preferred in Japan and other countries), 85/125-, and 100/140-micron multimode optical fibers, as defined in the ISO 9314/ANSI X3T9.5 standard for both the token-ring networks and FDDI applications.
There are four basic types of optical fiber cables recommended for use in the IBM Cabling System: Table 17. IBM Cabling System - Recommended Optical Fiber Cables Cable Types Description Part Number 2-100/140 micron fibers (OFM) 4716744 Type 5 Type 5 J...

Optical Power Loss By Fiber Cable Type Although fiber optical cable can carry light signals over long distances, optical power loss can reduce this capability. Table 22 shows the ranges and typical amounts of power loss for different types of fiber cables. To determine the power loss in your fiber cable, refer to the loss characteristic established by the cable manufacturer.

The link between 8265 B and 8265 C is invalid, because the total power loss is greater than the power budget. If the link used singlemode fiber instead of multimode fiber, then the connection would be valid because the power budget would be 13 (see Table 37 on page 59.

Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable Specifications The 8265 media modules with twisted pair connectors may be attached to shielded or unshielded cables. The unshielded cables are either UTP 100 ohms or FTP 100/120 ohms. UTP Media Standards The first high-frequency specification for UTP media was the IBM Cabling System Type 3 specification, intended for use in token-ring networks of already installed, UTP cabling.

Termination hardware should always match the category of cable that is terminated on it. IBM Cabling System 150-ohm, shielded twisted pair (STP) cables (type 1, 1A, 9, and 9A) may also be used. The distances in Table 33 apply to 25Mbps ATM cables supported for use with 8285s.
ISO standard, the maximum distances for such assemblies should be no more than 50 percent of the distances. Installations using 150-ohm STP patch cables (IBM Type 6) should not exceed 70 percent of the maximum allowable distance using STP Type 1 cable.
This chapter describes how to plan for the installation of media modules. The 8265 media modules can be used as the link in an ATM system to connect 8265 switches together. They can also be used to connect workstations, hubs, servers, and other ATM devices (such as the 8285 Workgroup Switch) in an ATM campus network.
