2.5 Internal Power Supply
This switch is delivered with two internal AC PSUs which operate in a load-sharing mode and
provides 1+1 redundancy.
(Figure 2-5: Power Supply)
NOTE:
• 1+1 redundancy is a system where a switch power supply is backed up by
another switch power supply in a load-sharing mode. If one power supply
fails, the other power supply takes over the full load of the switch.
• The switch supports front-to-back airow with xed power supplies and xed
system fans within the chassis.

2.6 Internal System Fan
The system fans matching the airow direction of internal power supply units provide the air
cooling for the switch.

Chapter 3: Installation
3.1 Rack Mounting
This switch can only be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack with an optional tray
module purchased.
Prior rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
To rack-mount devices with sliding rail:
1. Assemble the latch to the device using the three M4 screws provided. Repeat the similar
step when a second device is required for redundancy.
(Figure 3-1: Assembling the Latch)

10
AGV424 ToR/Leaf Switch
2. Assemble the inner rail to tray.
Place the inner rail along one side of the tray, align the mounting holes in the inner rail to
the stando󰀨 of the tray, and then fasten the inner rail to the tray. Repeat the similar step to
attach the inner rail to the other side of the tray.
(Figure 3-2: Assembling the Inner Tray)
3. Assemble the outer rail to the rack cabinet.
Push the middle rail back into the outer rail. Then repeat the similar step to assemble
another middle rail into the outer rail. Make sure the L-shaped of the rear bracket is facing
inward, align and push the rail rmly into the rear rack until it clicks into place. Then pull the
latch of the front bracket and align the hooks with the front rack holes. Release the latch to
lock the hooks into place.
(Figure 3-3: Assembling the Outer Rail)

• InstallationChapter 3
11
4. Mount the tray to the rack cabinet.
Slide the inner rails on the tray into the middle rails and push the tray all the way to the
rear of the rack. Use one M5 rack-mounting screw to fasten the front bracket to the rack
cabinet. Then repeat the similar step to assemble another front bracket.
(Figure 3-4: Mounting the Tray)
5. Insert the device into the tray module. Repeat the similar step to insert second device.
If installing a single tray with less than two switches only, go to “Connecting to a Power
Source”.
(Figure 3-5: Inserting the Device into the Tray Module)
NOTE:
Rack screws and clip nuts are not supplied in the rack-mounting kit.
CAUTION:
Due to the switch’s and tray’s weight, it should be installed by at least two
people.
MISE EN GARDE:
À cause du poids du commutateur et du plateau, au moins deux personnes
doivent l’installer.

(Figure 3-7: Inserting a QSFP/QSFP28 Transceiver into a Slot)

• InstallationChapter 3
13
To install an SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP+, SFP28, QSFP
or QSFP28 transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector
facing down. Note that SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceivers are keyed so they
can only be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
NOTE:
• SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceivers are hot-swappable. The
switch does not need to be powered o󰀨 before installing or removing a
transceiver. However, always rst disconnect the network cable before
removing a transceiver.
• SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceivers are not provided in the switch
package.
•QSFP28 Ports to SFP28 Ports: The AGV424 also supports splitting a
100G QSFP28 port into 25G ports via the breakout cables. Do consult your
software provider for port mode change and conguration.
3.3 Connecting to the Console Port
This port is used to connect a console device to the switch through a null modem serial cable.
The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a
VT-100 terminal.
NOTE:
An RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable is not supplied with the switch for connecting to a PC’s
RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE port.

AGV424 ToR/Leaf Switch
3.4 Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a switch to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC socket of a PSU located at the back of the
switch.
Power socket
(Figure 3-10: Power Socket)
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.
NOTE:
For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a
line cord set that has been approved for the socket type in your country.
3. Check the PSU and front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure that AC
power is being received and the Power LED is on. If not, check that the power cable is
correctly plugged in.
4. Repeat step 1 and 2 for the second PSU.

15
Chapter 4: Making the Network Connections
The AGV424 switch is designed to provide high-speed, lossless Ethernet connections
between server racks through its 25G SFP28 or 100G QSFP28 ports. This chapter describes
how to make network connections to the switch.
4.1 Twisted-pair Connections
The switch’s Management port connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T connections.
4.1.1 Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 port on the switch supports an automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout conguration, so
you can use a standard straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect to any other network
device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
4.1.2 Connecting to the Management Port
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the link device’s RJ-45 connector.
RJ-45 connector
(Figure 4-1: Making a Connection to the Management Port)
2. Attach the other end to the Management port on the switch.
Make sure the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
3. When the connection is made, the Mgmt LED (on the switch) will light green to indicate that
the connection is valid.

16
AGV424 ToR/Leaf Switch
4.2 Fiber Optic Connections
Optional 25G SFP28 or 100G QSFP28 transceivers can be used for ber connections from
the switch to other network devices in the data center. An SFP28 or QSFP28 transceiver may
also be used for long distance connections to devices at another site.
WARNING:
• When selecting a ber SFP28 or QSFP28 device, considering safety, please
make sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the
recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must
also use an approved SFP28 or QSFP28 transceiver.
AVERTISSEMENT:
• En cas de sélection d’un appareil SFP28 ou QSFP28 bre, pour des raisons
de sécurité, veuillez vous assurer qu’il peut fonctionner à une température
au moins égale à le température opérationnelle maximale recommandée
du produit. Vous devez également utiliser un émetteur-récepteur SFP28 ou
QSFP28 approuvé.
The following gure illustrates the SFP28 or QSFP28 port ber connection.
