Edge-corE AS5812-54T 54-Port 10G-40G Copper Ethernet Switch

Unpack the Switch and Check Contents

• * Rack Mounting Kit-2 front-post brackets, 2 rear-post brackets, 20 screws, and 2 ear-locking screws

  • Power Cord (included with AC PSUs only)
  • Ground Wire (included with DC PSUs only)
  • Console Cable-RJ-45 to DB-9
  • DC Power Cable (included with 48 VDC PSU only)
  • Documentation-Quick Start Guide (this document) and Safety and Regulatory Information

Note: The switch has the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) software installer pre-loaded on the switch, but no switch software image. Information about compatible switch software can be found at www.edge- core.com.

Caution: The switch includes plug-in power supply (PSU) and tan 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 F28 airflow direction.

Note: The switch drawings in this document are for llustration only and may not match your particular switch model.

Attach the Brackets

• Attach each of the front-and rear-post brackets to the switch using four of the included bracket screws.
• Use an additional two screws to secure each of the rear-post brackets at the mid-point on the sides of the switch.
• 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

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

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).

• 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 supply connections have been disconnected.

Connect Power

1. Install one or two AC or DC power modules in the switch. The switch 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 modules.

• 36-75 VDC Return (blue wire)
• 3. Chassis Ground (yellow- green wire)
• -36–75 VDC (brown wire)
• 4. Open Rack tray connector for 12 VDC PSU

Verify Switch Operation

Verify basic switch 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

• Ifthe 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.)
• 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: For switches with ONIE software pre-loaded, refer to the network operating system (NOS) installer and NOS documentation for details on software options and set up for ONIE.

Connect Network Cables

For RJ-45 ports, use 100-ohm Category 6, 6a, or 7 twisted- pair cable for 10GBASE-T Connections, or Category 5e or better cable for 100/1000BASE-T connections.
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

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