Quick Start Guide
– 2 –
Mount the Chassis in the Rack
1.
Use the four lifting handles to place the chassis onto the installed
L-shaped rack-rails in the rack.
2.
Slide the chassis fully into the rack until its front brackets are
flush with the front rack posts.
3.
Use four #12-24-16L screws to secure the switch in the rack.
Install Rack Air Baffles
1.
Install rack air baffles between chassis units in the rack.
2.
Use two M4 screws (included with the baffle) to secure the air
baffle to the front of the rack-rails.
Connect Power
1.
Install up to four universal AC power supply units (PSUs) in the
chassis. (The whole chassis is capable of operating with only two
installed PSUs; 3 or 4 PSUs provide redundancy.)
2.
PSUs can only be installed in one correct orientation. If a PSU
does not install flush with the chassis, remove it and reinstall in
the 180-degree opposite orientation.
3.
Connect an external AC power source to the PSUs.
Connect the AC sockets on the PSUs to at least two separate AC
power circuits for redundancy.
4.
Use the power cord retention clips to secure the power cord
connections to the PSUs.
Verify System Power
1.
Verify system power by checking the LEDs on the chassis.
When operating normally, the LEDs should all be on blue.
Connect Network Cables
1.
Connect a 100-ohm Category 5e (or better) twisted-pair cable
to the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Management port on the System
Controller Module (SCM).
2.
Connect network cables to QSFP28 interfaces:
■
If you are connecting fiber optic cables, install QSFP28 fiber
transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the
transceiver ports.
The following transceivers are supported:
◆
CLR4 100G
◆
LR4/LR4-lite 100G
◆
CWDM4 100G
◆
OpenOptic 100G
■
If you are using twinax copper cables (DAC cables) for port
connections, connect the QSFP28 transceivers on the end
of the DAC cables directly into the QSFP28 slots.
The QSFP28 ports can be configured as single-lane 100G
mode, dual-lane 50G mode, single-lane 40G mode, four-lane
