2.2. Installation using the Rubber Feet
When installing the switch in an area other than inside a switch rack, like on a desktop, rubber feet
can be attached to the bottom panel of the switch. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protecting
the casing from scratches, preventing it from scratching other surfaces, and preventing it from slip-
ping.
1. Install the switch on a flat surface that can safely support its weight.
2. The adhesive material is included on the rubber feet. Pull away the protective sticker of each
rubber foot and attach them to the switch bottom.
3. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the switch.
Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space at the rear and 5 cm (2 inches) at the front of the
switch for ventilation.

2.4. Installing Transceivers and cables into
the Switch Ports
Figure2.5.Transceivers and cables
2.4.1. 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.
2.4.2. QSFP+/QSFP28 Port Connection
QSFP+ (Quad SFP) ports which support 40G/per port or fan out to 4x10G by using the fan out
DAC cable.

QSFP28 (Quad SFP) ports which support 100G/per port or fan out to 4x25G by using the fan out
DAC cable.
1. Slide the QSFP module into a QSFP port.
Ensure the QSFP 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 QSFP modules.
The QSFP port LED lights green when the network link is established.

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.
One PSU is enough for a fully loaded chassis.
Figure2.6.Power supply
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.

Hardware Installation
10
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. 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.

2.8. 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:

Using the console port, you can perform the following:
• Configure, manage and monitor the switch using the CLI commands
• Manage and monitor network activity by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) man-
agement
• Upgrade the firmware
To connect to the console, do the following:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port (|o|o ) of the switch.
2. Connect the RS-232 end to a terminal or PC.
3. Manage the switch using the CLI commands (refer to the CLI User Manual for more informa-
tion).
The switch uses the following default settings:
• Baud rate: 115200
