Overview
Thank you for choosing the ECS4110-52T or ECS4110-52P switch system. These
switches are built with leading-edge technology to deliver reliable high-
performance connectivity for your data network.
The ECS4110-52T and ECS4110-52P are Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches with 48
10/100/1000-BASE-T ports, and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver
slots for fiber connectivity.
The switches also include an SNMP-based management agent, which provides
both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
Power-over-Ethernet (ECS4110-52P only) All of the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the ECS4110-52P support
both the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standards that enables DC power
to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable.

Make Initial Configuration Changes
At this point you may need to make a few basic switch configuration changes
before connecting to the network. It is suggested to connect to the switch console
port to perform this task.
The serial port’s configuration requirements are as follows: 115200 bps, 8
characters, no parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control.
You can log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using default settings: User
“admin” with the password “admin”.

◆For RJ-45 ports, use 100-ohm category 3 or better ethernet cable for 10BASE-T
connections, use 100-ohm category 5 or better ethernet cable for 100BASE-TX
and 1000BASE-T connections.
◆Install SFP transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver
ports.
As connections are made, check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.

3Switch Chassis
The switch is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. It can
also be installed on a desktop or shelf.
Before continuing with switch installation, first review the general guidelines and
switch cooling requirements in this chapter.
This chapter includes these sections:
◆“General Installation Guidelines” on page 19
◆“How to Install the Switch in a Rack” on page 20
◆“How to Install the Switch on a Shelf or Desktop.” on page 22
◆“Switch Cooling Requirements” on page 23
General Installation Guidelines
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
◆The installation location should:
◆be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 116 °F) and its
humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
◆provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on all
sides for proper airflow.
◆be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the device.
◆allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
◆Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as
radios and transmitters.
◆Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet and
is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using
a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Verify that the external AC power
requirements for the switch can be met as listed under “AC Power Supply
Specifications” on page 24.

How to Install the Switch in a Rack
– 20 –
How to Install the Switch in a Rack
When rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
◆ Rack Types: You can use any standard EIA 19-inch equipment rack with either
two or four posts. The bracket hole pattern should be spaced 1U (1.75 in. or
4.45 cm) apart.
◆ Rack Stability: Whenever possible, secure the rack to the building ceiling or
floor, particularly if you are located in a region where earthquakes are common.
◆ Rack Planning: When installing equipment in a rack, first plan how units can
be best arranged. Try to always mount the heaviest equipment at the bottom
of the rack.
◆ Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher
than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment
temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. See “Switch
Cooling Requirements” on page 23.
◆ 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.
Rack-Mounting Items Before you start to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following items
available:
◆Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these are
not included. Be sure to use the rack mounting screws that are supplied with
the rack.
◆A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used).
Rack-Mount
Procedure
To rack mount the switch, follow these steps:
Caution: Installing the switch in a rack requires two people: One should position
the switch in the rack, while the other secures it using the mounting screws.
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket
Mounting Kit.
