Warning: For a safe and reliable installation, use only the accessories and screws provided with the AS6712-32X, AS6812-32X. Use of other accessories and screws could result in damage to the unit. Any damages incurred by using unapproved accessories are not covered by the warranty.

Note: The switch has the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) software installer pre-loaded, but noswitch software image pre-loaded. Information about compatible switch software can be found at www.edge- core.com.

Caution: The switch includes plug-in power supply (PSU) and fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. All installed modules must have a matching airflow direction. That is, if the installed power modules have a front-to-back (F2B) airflow direction, all the installed fan tray modules must also have a F2B airflow direction.
Note: The switch drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your particular switch model.

Attach the Brackets

1. Attach each of the front- and rear-post brackets to the switch using four of the included bracket screws.
2. Use an additional two screws to secure each of the rear-post brackets at the mid-point on the sides of the switch.
3. Use the screws and cage nuts supplied with the rack to secure the switch in the rack.

Caution: Installing the switch in a rack requires two people. One person should position the switch in the rack, while the other secures it using the rack screws.

Adjust Rear-Post Bracket Ears

1. Lock the position of the rear-post bracket ears using the included position-locking screws. You can also adjust the rear-post bracket ears to fit different rack depths from 56 cm to 75 cm.

Ground the Switch

1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with ETSI ETS 300 253. Verify that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
2. Attach the grounding wire # 14 AWG to the grounding point on the switch rear panel. Then connect the other end of the wire to rack ground. For details on grounding the switch with a 12 VDC PSU in an Open Rack, refer to the Edgecore ORSA-1U Open Rack Tray Set Installation Guide.
   Caution: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supplv connections have been disconnected

Connect Power

1. Install one or two AC or DC PSUs in the switch. The switch supports up to two PSUs that must have the same matching airflow direction as the installed tan trays.
2. Connect an external AC or DC power source to the PSUs.
3. 36-75 VDC Return (blue wire)
4. -36–75 VDC (brown wire)
5. 3. Chassis Ground (yellow-green wire)
6. Open Rack tray connector for 12 VDC PSU

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) or # 10 AWG (for 12 VDC PSU) wire to connect to a DC PSU.

Verify Switch Operation

1. Verify basic switch operation by checking the system LEDs. When operating normally, the PS1/PS2 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 Category 5, Se or better twisted-pair cable. (Not required if the NOS installer is located on attached storage.)
2. Boot the switch. 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.
   Note: Refer to the network operating system (NOS) installer and NOS documentation for details on software options and set up for ONIE.

Connect Network Cables

1. For the R-45 Management port, connect 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or better twisted-pair cable.
2. Connect DAC cables to the QSFP+ slots. Or first install QSFP+ transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports.

The following transceivers are supported:

• 40GBASE-CR4
• 40GBASE-SR4
• 40GBASE-LR4

Note: As connections are made, check the port status LEDSs to be sure the links are valid.
