Handling the G3 Switch and Components
Unpacking the Switch or Components
Unpack
the
switch
as
follows:
1. Remove
the
packing
material
protecting
the
switch.
2. Remove
the
switch
or
component
from
the
non
‐
conductive
bag.
3. Perform
a
visual
inspection
of
the
switch
for
any
signs
of
physical
damage.
Contact
Enterasys
Networks
if
there
are
any
signs
of
damage.

Installing the Optional PoE module into an IOM Card
If
you
have
purchased
an
optional
PoE
module
(G3G
‐
POE),
you
can
install
it
before
installing
the
G3G
‐
24TX
IOM
card
into
the
G
‐
Series
base
system
chassis
or
at
any
time
by
first
removing
the
IOM
card
as
described
in
“Removing
an
IOM
Card”
.
To
install
the
PoE
module
in
an
IOM
card:
1. Gently
plug
the
PoE
module
into
the
IOM
card
by
fitting
the
standoffs
into
the
PoE
board
mounting
holes
as
shown
in
Figure 2
.
There
should
be
a
direct
vertical
translation
of
standoffs
to
PoE
mounting
holes.
2. Using
the
screws
shipped
with
the
PoE
module,
firmly
attach
the
PoE
module
to
the
IOM
card.

Installing an IOM Card
To
install
an
IOM
card:
1. Loosen
the
captive
screws
on
the
coverplate
and
remove
the
coverplate
from
the
slot.
2. Insert
the
IOM
card
in
the
guide
rail
of
the
slot.
Gently
slide
the
card
into
the
slot,
as
shown
in
Figure 3
,
until
the
IOM
card
engages
the
connector
on
the
backplane
and
the
IOM
card
locks
into
place
and
is
flush
with
adjoining
coverplates.
3. Tighten
the
two
captive
screws.

4. If
installing
additional
modules,
wait
until
the
slot
status
LED
for
the
previously
installed
IOM
is
solid
green
before
installing
additional
modules.
Save
coverplates
for
optional
future
use.
5. After
completing
all
module
installation,
be
sure
to
install
coverplate(s)
over
any
unused
IOM
slot(s)
to
contain
EMI
radiation
and
ensure
proper
air
circulation.
Removing an IOM Card
1. Disconnect
any
cabling
from
the
IOM
card.
2. Loosen
the
IOM
card’s
two
captive
screws.
3. Press
the
power
off
button
corresponding
to
the
slot
from
which
you
want
to
remove
the
IOM
card
as
shown
in
Figure 4
.

4. When
the
slot’s
POWER
OFF
status
LED
turns
amber,
gently
slide
the
module
out
of
the
slot.
Caution:
If you are installing multiple IOMs into a switch that is
running, wait until the previously installed IOM is completely
initialized before attempting to install the next IOM. Initialization is
complete when the slot’s status LED turns solid green.

Installing a Power Supply
These
power
supplies
can
be
installed
on
the
G
‐
Series
switch:
• G3
‐
PWR,
a
400
‐
watt
AC
power
supply
(requires
15A
circuit)
• G3
‐
PWR
‐
POE,
a
1200
‐
watt
AC
power
supply
(requires
20A
circuit)
To
install
a
single
power
supply
in
the
G
‐
Series
switch:
1. Holding
the
power
supply
by
its
handle,
position
it
with
the
status
LEDs
to
the
left
and
align
it
with
the
slot
opening.
2. Carefully
slide
the
module
until
it
connects
to
the
backplane.
If
significant
resistance
is
encountered
before
the
power
supply
is
seated,
remove
and
reinsert
it.
Do
not
force
the
module
into
place.
3. Secure
the
power
supply
to
the
chassis
by
tightening
the
captive
screws.
4. If
you
are
finished
installing
IOM
cards
and
are
ready
to
connect
to
a
power
source,
plug
the
power
cord
into
the
power
supply
AC
inlet,
then
into
a
grounded
outlet.
