Documentation conventions
The following documentation conventions are used in this guide:
Describing interactions with the UI
You can interact with products by using different input methods: keyboard, mouse, touch, and more. So
in most parts of the user documentation, generic verbs have been used that work with any input method.
In cases where input-neutral verbs do not work, mouse-specific verbs are used as the first choice,
followed by touch-specific verbs as the second choice.
See the following table for examples on how you can interpret the different input methods.

Product Safety Information
Before installing the unit, read all product safety instructions contained in this document.
These instructions contain specific safety messages that will alert you to any hazards
associated with the installation and proper operations of the equipment. Failure to follow
those instructions can result in serious injury or death.
The unit is a 100GE Test System for enhancing network reliability and powered by 2
redundant, load-sharing hot-swappable power supplies, rated 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 12-5A
per PS.
Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used
Batteries According to the Instructions.
Rack Mount Instructions
1. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an
environment that is compatible with the maximum allowable ambient temperature
specified for the equipment (35° C).
2. Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment so that it is level in the rack and that a
hazardous condition is not caused.
4. Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment.
Equipment frame should be screwed down to racks to ensure proper grounding path. In
addition, pay special attention to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).

Informations sur la sécurité du produit
Avant d'installer l'unité, lisez toutes les instructions de sécurité du produit contenues dans ce
document. Ces instructions contiennent des messages de sécurité spécifiques qui vous
alerteront de tout risque associé à l'installation et au bon fonctionnement de l'équipement. Si
ces instructions ne sont pas respectées, cela peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
L’unité est un système de test 100GE destiné à améliorer la fiabilité du réseau et est
alimentée par 3 blocs alimentations, 100-240 VCA, 50-60 Hz, 12-5 A par PS.
Débranchez les deux cordons d'alimentation avant l'entretien.
CAUTION: Risque d'explosion si la batterie est remplacée par un type incorrect. Jetez les
piles usagées conformément aux instructions.
Instructions de montage en rack
1. Température ambiante de fonctionnement élevée: si installé dans un ensemble en rack
fermé ou multi-unités, la température ambiante de fonctionnement de l'environnement
du rack peut être supérieure à la température ambiante de la pièce. Par conséquent,
envisagez d'installer l'équipement dans un environnement compatible avec la
température ambiante maximale autorisée spécifiée pour l'appareil (35 ° C).
2. Débit d'air réduit: L'installation de l'équipement dans un rack doit être telle que la
quantité d'air requise pour un fonctionnement en toute sécurité de l'équipement ne soit
pas compromise.
3. Chargement mécanique: montez l'appareil de manière à ce qu'il soit de niveau dans le
rack et qu'aucune condition dangereuse ne soit provoquée.
4. Surcharge du circuit: Il convient de prendre en compte le raccordement de
l'équipement au circuit d'alimentation et les effets qu'une surcharge des circuits peut
avoir sur la protection contre les surintensités et le câblage d'alimentation. Lors de la
résolution de ce problème, il convient de prendre en compte les caractéristiques de la
plaque signalétique de l'équipement.
5. Mise à la terre fiable: Maintenez une mise à la terre fiable des équipements montés en
armoire. Le cadre de l'appareil doit être vissé sur les racks pour assurer un bon chemin
de mise à la terre. De plus, faites particulièrement attention aux connexions
d’alimentation autres que les connexions directes au circuit de dérivation (telles que
l’utilisation de barrettes d’alimentation).

CHAPTER 1 About UHD100T32
This section contains an overview of the UHD100T32 fixed chassis and its specifications.
Section contents:
Overview 1
Specifications 1
Overview
UHD100T32 is the industry’s highest density 100GE test solution that addresses the density challenges of
validating 100GE devices and networks in a cost-effective way. In just a 1U form-factor, the fixed chassis
provides 32 QSFP28 100GE ports, ready for use cases ranging from white box production-line testing to
data center pre-deployment and post-deployment testing.
This fixed chassis supports 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE, and 10GE fan-out speed test capabilities. It also
includes Keysight’s proven technology for layer 2 to 3 traffic generation and analysis. Optional routing
protocols are available that include OSPF, BGP, and ISIS and RFC 2544 benchmark test capabilities.
Specifications
This section describes the specifications, switch, power, and LED controls of the UHD100T32 fixed
chassis.

Channel Status Lamps
A group of four triangular lamps is present between the top and bottom or an odd and even pair of
QSFP ports. These are the port channel status lamps.
Based on the setting that you have chosen by using the port LED selector button, the four lamps indicate
either the state of the MAC channels on the QSFP ports above the lamps, or the states of the MAC
channels on the QSFP ports below the lamps.
The following image shows the port channel status lamps:
LED Selector Button and Bank Indicator Lamps
The port LED Selector button is located at the lower right of the front panel, and is labeled LED Select.
There are two bank indicator lamps labeled TOP and BOT to the right of the button. These lamps indicate
whether all the port lamps are showing the port state for TOP or BOT.
You can press the LED Selector button to toggle between the two states.
