UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch.
Unpacking
Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton
should contain the following items:
♦One switch chassis
♦One management module (pre-installed in uppermost slot)
♦One power supply module (pre-installed)
♦One mounting kit：four mounting brackets and screws
♦Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
♦One AC power cord
♦One console cable
♦One printed copy of the quickstart guide
♦One CD-ROM containing this user’s guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
♦The surface must support at least 5 kg.
♦The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device.
♦Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully to the AC power
connector.
♦Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation
around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the
device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner
of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around
it.

Figure 2-1. Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf
Rack Installation
The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed
in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the
Switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
Figure 2-2. Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack.

Installing Modules
The DES-6300 supports up to 6 modules which can be installed into the module bays.
Networking modules are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed
while power to the switch is ON. After warm-swapping a networking module, the switch
will automatically be rebooted. Make sure to use the Save Changes command to save
the current configuration to NV-RAM before warm-swapping modules. The CPU module,
however, is NOT hot-swappable. Removing or inserting the CPU module while the power
is on may cause irreparable damage to the module and/or to the Switch itself. Further,
make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the removable power supply
module before inserting or removing it from the Switch.
CAUTION: Due to the high energy present in this
system, extreme caution should be exercised whenever
adding or removing system components. No element of
this system may be installed or removed except by an
authorized technician.
Figure 2-3. Removing a Blank Slot Cover

Modules can be installed into any free slot, except the CPU module. The CPU module
must be installed in the uppermost (top) slot. To install a module, simply remove a
blank slot cover and slide the module along the guide rails until it snaps firmly in place.
Figure 2–4. Installing a Module
Connecting a Terminal
The DES-6300 can perform basic switching functions without special configuration, but
to use the Switch’s advanced features you must first configure the unit through a
terminal (a VT-100 serial data terminal or a computer running a VT-100 emulator). The
connection is made through the Switch’s Diagnostic RS-232 port, which is configured at
the factory as follows:
♦Baud Rate: 115200
♦Data Bits: 8
♦Parity: none
♦Stop Bits: 1
♦Flow Control: None
The RS-232 port has a nine-socket D-shell connector with IBM-type DCE wiring, and
can be connected to the terminal using an off-the-shelf RS-232 cable with the proper
connectors for the terminal and the DES-6300.

Power on
Power up the DES-6300 as follows:
1. Make sure the power module is properly installed in the device.
2. Plug the device end of the supplied power cord firmly into the power inlet on
the DES-6300’s front panel of the redundant power supply.
3. Plug the outlet end of the power cord firmly into a suitable AC outlet.
4. Observe the DES-6300’s LED indicators to make sure the Switch is operating
correctly.
The DES-6300’s LED indicators operate as follows during a normal power-up:
♦All indicators blink momentarily to indicate a system reset.
♦The Power indicator flashes for about 20 seconds while the switch prepares its run-
time software and performs a self-test.
♦The Power indicator begins shining steadily, and the remaining indicators begin
reflecting port and system status.
Power Failure
As a precaution, the Switch should be unplugged in case of an impending power failure.
When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in.

IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL
COMPONENTS
This chapter describes the front panel, side panels, optional plug-in modules, and LED
indicators of the Switch
Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists nine slide-in module slots for networking
modules, two slide-in module slots for power supply modules, an RS-232
communication port, and LED indicators.
Figure 3-1. Front panel view of the Switch
♦Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of
the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).
♦An RS-232 DCE console port is used to diagnose the Switch via a connection to a
terminal (or PC) and Local Console Management.
♦Seven slide-in module slots installing networking modules and the CPU module.
♦Two slide-in module slots for installing power supply modules.
Side Panels
The left side panel of the Switch contains four system fans. The right side panel
contains heat vents.
The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat
vents to serve the same purpose. Do not block these openings, and leave adequate
space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation. Be reminded that
without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might
overheat, which could lead to system failure.

Optional Plug-in Modules
The DES-6300 Modular Ethernet Switch is able to accommodate a range of plug-in
modules in order to increase functionality and performance.

LED Indicators
The LED indicators of the Switch include CPU Status and Power OK. The following
shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
Figure 3-9. CPU Front Panel LED Indicators
♦CPU Status This center indicator on the front panel displays the current status
of the switch. The LED will blink while the Power-On Self-Test (POST) is running
during startup. It will light a steady green after the POST test to indicate the
switch is powered on and operating properly. It will light amber when an error
occurs during startup and the switch is therefore not functioning.
♦Power OK This indicator lights green when the CPU module of the switch is
receiving power and functioning properly.

CONNECTING THE SWITCH
This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Ethernet network as well as
providing an informational cable length table.
Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers.
For twisted-pair (copper) connections, the RJ-45 UTP ports on NICs and most routers
are MDI-II. When using a normal straight-through cable, an MDI-II port must connect
to an MDI-X port.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP
straight cable (be sure to use Category 5 UTP or STP cabling for 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet connections). The end node should be connected to any of the sixteen ports
(1x - 16x) on the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX module. The LED indicators for the port the
end node is connected to are lit according to the capabilities of the NIC. If LED
indicators are not illuminated after making a proper connection, check the PC’s LAN
card, the cable, switch conditions, and connections.
The following LED indicator states are possible for an end node to switch connection:
1. The 100M indicator comes ON for a 100 Mbps and stays OFF for 10 Mbps.
2. The Link/Act indicator lights up upon hooking up a PC that is powered on.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways. For twisted-pair (copper)
connections, the most important consideration is that when using a normal, straight-
through cable, the connection should be made between a normal crossed port (Port 1x,
2x, etc.) and an Uplink (MDI-II) port. If you are using a crossover cable, the connection
can be made from a normal crossed port to another crossed port.
♦A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3,
4 or 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
♦A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a four-pair
Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the
other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 16x
100BASE-TX ports).
If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make the connection with a
crossover cable from any of the twisted-pair ports on the switch to any normal twisted-
pair port on the hub.
