Quick Start Guide

–  2  –

Connect Power

1.

Install one or two AC or DC PSUs in the vOLT.

The vOLT supports up to two PSUs that must have the same 
matching airflow direction as the installed fan tray.

2.

Connect an external AC or DC power source to the PSUs.

1.

Positronic PLA03F7000/AA connector

2.

DC Return (red wire)

3.

-36 – -72 VDC (black wire)

4.

Ground (yellow-green wire)

Verify Device Operation

1.

Verify basic vOLT operation by checking the system LEDs.

When operating normally, the PSU1/PSU2, Diag, and Fan LEDs 
should all be on green.

Perform Initial System Boot

1.

If the network operating system (NOS) installer is located on a 
network server, first connect the RJ-45 Management (Mgmt) port 
to the network using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or better twisted-
pair cable. (Not required if the NOS installer is located on 
attached storage.)

2.

Boot the vOLT. Wait for the ONIE software to locate and execute 
the NOS installer, and then wait for the installer to load the NOS 
software image.

Subsequent switch boots will bypass ONIE and directly run the 
NOS software.

Connect Network Cables

1.

For the RJ-45 Management port, connect 100-ohm Category 5, 
5e or better twisted-pair cable.

2.

Install XGS-PON transceivers in the PON XFP slots and then 
connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. 

3.

Install QSFP28 transceivers in the QSFP28 slots and then 
connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. 

The following transceivers are supported:

100GBASE-CR4, AOC, SR4, LR4, and PSM4

40GBASE-CR4, SR4, and LR4

4.

As connections are made, check the port status LEDs to be sure 
the links are valid. 

For the PON ports:

Green — Port has a link with active ONTs. Flashing 
indicates activity.

Amber — Port is enabled with no active ONTs.

Each QSFP28 port has four LEDs that indicate valid links in the 
following modes: 

1 LED Green — 100 Gbps mode

1 LED Blue — 40 Gbps mode

1-4 LEDs Green — 25 Gbps breakout mode (four lanes)

1-4 LEDs Blue — 10 Gbps breakout mode (four lanes)

Caution:

 Use a UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 certified power 

supply to connect to a DC converter, and a #14 AWG (for 
36–75 VDC PSU) wire to connect to a DC PSU.
