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.

Temperature/Humidity Requirements

Mounting the switch

Connecting the Power

1. Plug the AC power cord into the power port on the back of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source.

Connecting the SFP+/QSFP28 Ports

1. Plug a compatible SFP+/QSFP28 transceiver into the SFP+/QSFP28 port.
2. Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

CAUTION: Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or optical fibers without eye protection.

Connecting the Management Ports

Connecting the CON Port

1. Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the RJ45 console port on the front of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer.

Connecting the ETH Port

1. Connect one end of a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to a computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ETH port on the front of the switch.

Connecting the USB Port

Insert the Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash disk to the USB port for software and configuration backup and offline software upgrade.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface

• Step1: Connect the computer to the Management port of the switch using the network cable.
• Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.2. Set the subnet mask of the computer to 255.255.255.0.
• Step 3: Open a browser, type http://192.168.0.2, and enter the default username and password, admin/admin.
• Step 4: Click sign in to display the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the CLI Port

• Step 1: Connect a computer to the switch’s CLI port using the supplied CLI cable.
• Step 2: Start the terminal simulation software such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
• Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stopbit and no flow control.
• Step 4: Enter the default username and password, admin/admin.

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]:

NOTE: Forgetting your username and password and restoring them through console port may cause configuration loss and business interruption. Please remember your username and password.

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.
