Form 1-4 Properties of Ethernet ports used for management
USB port
The front/rear panels of N6400/N6300/N6100 series switches provide a USB2.0 interface meeting OHC standards,
which may support the uploading and downloading rates of 480Mbps. Through this interface, users may carry out
file interchange with Flash file system on the switches, e.g., uploading or downloading application files, etc.
Because there exist differences among USB devices from different manufactures in
compatibility and driving, NADDOD doesn’t ensure that the USB devices from all
manufactures can be used normally on the switches. If a USB device fails to be used normally,
it doesn’t belong to switch fault. Please try to use USB devices from other manufactures then.

2Installation Instruction
2.1 Preparation before installation
2.1.1 Safety warning
To avoid device damage and personal injuries caused by improper usage, please conform to the following
precautions:
The power supply should be unplugged before cleaning switch. Don’t use wet duster
cloth to wipe the switch, or use liquid to wash the switch.
Don’t place the switch beside water or in a moist place, and prevent water or moisture
from entering the enclosure of the switch.
Don’t place the switch on unstable boxes or tables, to avoid major damage to the switch
in case of falling down.
Keep good ventilation indoor and keep the venthole of the switch unblocked.
The switch can work normally only under correct voltage, please confirm that the
working voltage conforms to the voltage indicated by the switch.
To reduce the risk of electronic shock, don’t open the enclosure when the switch is
working, and don’t open the enclosure of the switch randomly even though it isn’t
powered on.
The electro-static dissipative (ESD) gloves must be used when replacing the interface
board, to prevent the static electricity from damaging the single board.
2.1.2 Pre-installation check
To ensure normal working environment of switch, N6300 switches have the following requirements for
workplaces:
Confirm that there is space left at the air intake vent and ventilation opening of switch, so
as to facilitate the heat dissipation of the crate of switch.
Confirm that the cabinet and workbench have good ventilation and heat dissipation
system themselves.
Confirm that the cabinet and workbench are solid enough, and can bear the weight of
switch and its installation accessories.
Confirm that the cabinet and workbench are grounded properly.
To ensure long-term stable work of switch, the installation place should also meet the following several
