2.3.1. SFP+/SFP28 Port Connection (LC Type Connec-
tor)
The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) port is the second generation of the SFP intercon-
nect system designed for 10Gb/s data rate. The SFP+ ports support 10-gigabit IEEE 802.3ae Eth-
ernet for fiber mediums.
The Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28 (SFP28) port is the next generation of the SFP interconnect
system designed for 25Gb/s data rate. The SFP28 ports enables error-free transmission of 25 Gb/
s over 100 meters of OM4 multimode fiber.
The SFP+/SFP28 ports are numbered and have corresponding SFP port LEDs.
To install an SFP module, do the following:
1. Slide the SFP module into an SFP port.
Ensure the SFP module is positioned correctly before installing it into the port.
2. Push completely until the module locks into place.
3. Repeat the above procedures to install additional SFP+ modules.
The SFP port LED lights green when the network link is established.

2.4. Fan Modules
The fan module is a field replaceable unit and can be replaced during operations as long as the re-
maining modules are installed and operating.
Replacing fan modules
1. Press the retaining tab on the system fan module in the direction as indicated.
2. Remove the system fan module out of the chassis.
Figure2.3.Removing the fan module
3. Push the system fan module into the system fan module bay until it connects properly with the
fan board in the chassis.

2.5. Power supply
Equipped with two supply modules, the switch can operate with either one or two power supply
modules. If the switch uses two power supply modules, you can hot-swap one of the PSU during
the operations. Even if one of the two power supplies has failed, or is not in use, do not pull out
the power supply from the chassis. This is to prevent hot air being suck back into the chassis from
the empty power supply shelf when the system is in operation. Only pull out the bad power supply
when the replacement is ready to be installed.
One PSU is enough for a fully loaded chassis.
2.5.1. Replacing a PSU
1. Hold the PSU handle and press the release latch to unlock from the switch.
2. Pull the PSU module out of the switch.
Figure2.5.Removing the PSU module
3. Align the PSU with the switch bay.
4. Slide the PSU into the switch and push until it is flush with the bay. The retaining clip should
snap.

Figure2.6.Inserting the PSU module
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector. The switch automatically adjusts
its power setting to any supply voltage in the range from 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.

2.6. Connect the Power Cable
Connect one end of the AC power cord, included in the package, into the grounded electrical outlet
at the site and insert the other end of the AC power cord into the AC power receptacle of the AC
power supply module on the back panel of the switch. The switch will automatically adjust the volt-
age supplied to the voltage needed as this power supply supports any voltage power supply in the
range from 100VAC to 240VAC at 50Hz to 60Hz.
The LED indicators on the front panel of the switch should lights green after power-on.

2.7. Grounding the Switch
It is recommended that a compliant system is installed as part of the chassis to reduce or prevent
the risk of shock hazards, greatly reduce the risk of equipment damage or reduce the potential of
data corruption.
This equipment must be grounded. Do not defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment without a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate elec-
trical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding
is available.
1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with local regulatory guidelines. Ensure
that a good electrical connection to the grounding point exists. Remove any paint or material
that may prevent good contact.
2. This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for user safety. Use the power
cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electric shock.

2.8. Rack-mount Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following rack-mount safety precautions when setting up your
equipment:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• 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.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• 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.
• Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Partic-
ular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (for example, use of power strips).
• For safety, equipment should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the equip-
ment that will be mounted in the lowest part of the rack first, then the next higher systems, etc.
• To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, the anti-tilt bar on the rack must
be deployed.
• The mounting brackets provided must be used to securely mount the device in a rack-mount
unit.

2.9. Console port
The console port is used for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a console ter-
minal or PC using a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to a terminal or PC
using the supplied console cable (RJ-45 male to RS-232 female cable) for serial communication.
Below is the console cable wiring specification table:
