Installation Requirements
Tool Preparation:
Screwdriver
Static armguard
Bolt
Ethernet cable
Other Ethernet terminal devices
Control terminal
Tool Preparation:
Put off ornaments, such as ring, necklace, watch and bracelet, before you
operate under live working. When metal articles connect the power to the ground,
short circuit happens and components may be damaged.
Pull out the AC power socket and close the direct-current power before
operating on the machine box or working beside the power source.
When the power is on, do not touch the power.
Correctly connect the device and the power socket.
Only professionals are allowed to operate and maintain the device.
Read the installation guide carefully before the system is powered on.
Site Environment:
The switch can be installed on the desk or the cabinet.
The location of the machine box, cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system’s
function.
Short distance between devices, bad ventilation and untouchable control plate will cause maintenance problems,
systematic faulty and breakdown.

Troubleshooting
Loading Failure Troubleshooting
If the loading process fails, the system will continue to operate in its original state. In such a situation, users
should first verify the physical port connections to ensure they are properly connected. If some ports are
disconnected, reconnect them before attempting to reload the system. If the physical connections are secure,
the next step is to examine the loading process information shown on the super terminal. If any input errors
are detected, they should be corrected before reloading the system.
User Password Lost Troubleshooting
If system password is lost or forgotten, the password can be reset using the following method:
1. Connect the console port of the switch to a computer using a console cable.
2.
Press "ctrl + b" to access the Uboot mode.Start the system with an
empty configuration file with no password.
Bootrom#boot_flash_nopass
Bootrom#Do you want to revert to the default config file?[Y|N|E]:
Configuration System Troubleshooting
1. Verify that the power supply is functioning correctly and that the console cable is appropriately connected.
2. Confirm that the console cable is the appropriate type for the device being connected.
3.
Ensure that the control cable driver is appropriately installed on the computer.
4. Verify that the settings of the HyperTerminal, such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity, are correctly
configured.
