2.8 Installing GBIC Interfaces
Instructions for installing, removing, and maintaining GBIC inter-
faces are provided in this section.
Note: Auto-negotiation must be disabled on a port where a copper
GBIC is installed.
Important! The GBIC ports on the 35516-G are paired—
port numbers 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/11, 10/12, 13/15, and
14/16. DO NOT use more than one copper GBIC module
per pair (maximum 8 modules).
2.8.1 Installing a GBIC
Note: GBICs are hot-swappable.
This means that they can be in-
serted and removed while the unit
is powered on.
1. Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
2. Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger, then
insert the GBIC into the slot on the face of the Gigabit Ethernet
module.
3. Slide the GBIC into the slot until you hear or feel a click. The
click indicates that the GBIC is locked into the slot.
4. Connect your network cable.
2.8.2 Removing a GBIC
Note: Copper GBIC modules run hot under normal operating condi-
tions. Remove with care and place on a heat-resistant surface and
allow to cool before handling.
Follow the steps below to remove a GBIC interface from a Gigabit
Ethernet module:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the GBIC connector.
2. Release the GBIC from the slot by simultaneously squeezing
the locking tabs on both sides of the GBIC.
3. Slide the GBIC out of the slot and store the GBIC in its protec-
tive packaging.

16 Setup Guide
2.8.3 GBIC Care and Handling
Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:
• Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to
its premature failure. A GBIC connector has a lifetime of
100 to 500 removals/insertions
• GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow
your normal board and component handling procedures
• GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or
when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep
plugs in the GBIC optical bores
• Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of
the optical connector. The most common source of con-
taminants in the optical bores is debris picked up from the
optical connectors
2.9 Installing Optional Emergency Power Supply
To ensure reliability, the IC35516 can be equipped with a 12 VDC
emergency backup power supply (the IC35-EPS12, sold sepa-
rately). When installed, the emergency power supply is in standby
mode, and will automatically take over should the primary unit fail.
To verify the primary system power status, use the
Router# show system
command. Under System Information, the status is listed:
Power Unit Status = OK
The IC35-EPS12 is designed to be a temporary replacement when
the primary power fails, not a permanent replacement.
To install the optional power supply, simply attach the 12VDC con-
nector of the power supply to the jack located in the center of the
rear panel of the switch. Connect the power cord to the power sup-
ply and plug the power cord into an outlet.
Important! The optional power supply becomes HOT under normal
operating conditions. To avoid damage or injury, set the power sup-
ply on a heat-resistant surface and USE CAUTION when handling
the unit.

tailed information.

24 Setup Guide 17
Asanté IntraCore 35516 Series Switches
2.10 Connecting Power
Important! Carefully review the power requirements (Chapter 2.3)
before connecting power to the unit.
Use the following procedure to connect power to the switch:
1. Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the power con-
nector on the back of the unit.
2. Plug the other end into a grounded AC outlet. The power LED
will begin its initialization process.
The front panel LEDs blink and the power LED illuminates when it
has initialized. The switch is ready for connection to the network.
Important: If the power does not come on, refer to Appendix A
Troubleshooting.
2.11 Connecting to the Network
The switch may be connected to an Ethernet network with the unit
powered on or off. Use the following procedure to make your net-
work connections:
1. Connect network devices to the switch, using the cable guide-
lines that follow.
2. After the unit is connected to the network, it can be configured
for management capabilities. Please refer to the User’s Manual
on the CD-ROM for instructions on how to set up the manage-
ment features of the switch.
2.11.1 10/100/1000BaseTX Ports Cabling Procedures
The 10/100/1000 ports on the switch allow for the connection of
10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT net-
work devices. The ports are compatible with
IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards.
Important: The switch must be located
within 100 meters of its attached devices.

18 Setup Guide
Note: This switch has no uplink port. All 10/100/1000 ports on this
switch are auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X. This advanced feature means
that the 10/100/1000 ports will automatically determine whether the
device at the other end of the link is a hub, switch, or workstation,
and adjust its signals accordingly.
Although 10BaseT requires only pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, Asanté strongly
recommends cables with all 8 pins wired as shown in the following
table. Use Category 5 (or better) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cables.
1000BaseT DOES require that all four pairs (8 wires) be connected
correctly. The following table shows the correct pairing of all eight
wires.
