Chapter 1 Ethernet Switches Introduction
FS’s N-Series Switches feature in a compact 1U form factor, ideally suited for Data Center environments. It delivers
superior low l
atency and power efficiency in a clean PHYless design,while offering high reliability features such as
redundant and hot sw
appable power supplies and fans in forward and reverse airflow configurations.
FS’s N-Series
Switches support current and future d
ata center requirements, including an x86-based control plane for easier
inte
grationof automation tools, and an ONIE installer to support 3rd party network operating systems.
FS's N-Series Switches current
ly include four configurations: N5850-48S6Q, N8500-48B6C,N8000-32Q and
N8500-32C.

Modern virtualized data center need to meet certain requirements to accelerate application deployment to support
the new network architecture
. Spine-Leaf network architecture optimizes for the traditional three-tier structure,
significant
ly reducing the loss of information transmission. It is mature technology and has been widely deployed.
It provides a simple
, flexible, and stable network, with good scalability and fast convergence characteristics.
FS N-Series switches support Spine and Leaf architecture, as shown in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2.

4.2 Applications of Connection for N Series Switches with Transceivers and Fiber
Enclosures
N-Series Switches are Top-of-Rack (TOR), Spine or Leaf switches for high-performance data centers. When interconnect
100G QSFP28 SR4 Optics transceivers
for your ultra high speed networks, the use of MTP MMF cabling is generall
y the
preferred c
abling method. As shown in below interconnection, including HD fiber enclosures are used to complete the
interconnection and to connect two same speed switches with optical transceivers or optical c
ables. With increasing
number of network connections in d
ata centers, the 12-Fiber channel 40GbE migration plan is quickly becoming a
matter of survival. The figure 4-5 below shows the connections of N-Series switches from low to high speed.

For Technical Support: www.fs.com/service.html12
Please mount N8000-32Q on the 19’’ rack as below:
(1)
Attach the 2 brackets on the N8000-32Q with screws provided in the accessory kit.
(2) Put the machine on the stock of the rack when installing because the machine is quite he
avy.
(3) Put the bracket-mounted switch smooth
ly into a standard 19’’ rack. Fasten the N8000-32Q to the rack with the
screws provided
. Leave enough space around the switch for good air circulation.
Caution!
The brackets are used to fix the switch on the rack
. They can’t serve as a bearing.
Please place a rack shelf under the
switch
. Do not place anything on top of the switch.Do not block the blowholes on the switch to ensure the proper
operation of the switch.

6.2.2 Installing the Power Supply Module
N8000-32Q switch supports 2 power supplies.
Figure 6-3 The Figure of N8000-32Q Switch Power Supply Installing
Please install the power supply module according to the following approach:
(1)
The golden finger is entad and aim at the power supply rabbet of the machine to insert to the end downwards. Y
ou
can hear the lock sound of
“click”.
(2) Force the board on the side of
AC cable bore to the direction of fan when taking out the power supply module.
And
draw the power supply forth.

6.2.3 Installing the Fan
N8000-32Q switch has 5 fans in standard configuration.
Figure 6-4 The Figure of N8000-32Q Switch Installing the Fan
Please install the fan module according to the following approach:
(
1) The golden finger is inward and adown and aim at the fan rabbet of the back machine flatly to the end. Y
ou can
hear the lock sound of
“click”.
(2) Pinch the sheet metal inward and dr
aw the fan module forth when taking out it.
Caution!
The sheet metal edge of fan is thin
, please watch your fingers when pinch, press, insert and pull it.
WARNING! - Hazardous moving parts. Keep away from moving fan blades.

For Technical Support: www.fs.com/service.html15
6.2.4 Connecting Console
N8000-32Q provides a serial console port.
Figure 6-5 Connecting Console to N8000-32Q 40Gb Routing Switch
The connection procedure is listed below:
(1) Find the console c
able provided in the accessory kit. Attach the console ca
ble end to console port of the switch.
(2) Connect the other side of the console c
able to a character terminal (PC).
(3)
Power on the switch and the character terminal. Configure the switch through the character terminal.
6.2.5 QSFP+ Transceiver Installation
N8000-32Q provides 32 QSFP+ ports.
The procedure for installing the QSFP+ transceiver is shown below:
Step 1: Put on a ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves)
Step 2: Insert the QSFP+ transceiver to the guide rail inside the QSFP+ port. Do not put the QSFP+ transceiver
up-side-down.
Step 3: Push the QSFP+ transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the transceiver snap into place at the
bottom of the QSFP+ port.
Note:
The QSFP+ transceiver is hot swappable.

For Technical Support: www.fs.com/service.html16
Caution!
Do not stare direct
ly at the 2 fiber bore in the QSFP transceiver when the switch is in operation,
otherwise the laser
m
ay hurt your eyes.
The product uses laser technology which must comply with Class 1 laser requirements.
Copper cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch copper port;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of other device;
Step 3: Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the right port. Connecting to wrong ports might damage the
switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1
: Remove the protective plug from the QSFP+ fiber transceiver bore; Remove the protective cap from one end
of the fiber c
able. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2
: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the QSFP+ transceiver, and attach the other end to the transceiver of the
corresponding devices.
Step 3
: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been esta
blished; otherwise the
link is not ready and should be examined.
5.2.6 Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection
Note: The QSFP+ transceiver’s TX port should be connected to the RX port of the corresponding device, and
vice versa.
