Installation

Warning: For a safe and reliable installation, use only the accessories and screws provided with the device. 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.

Caution: The device includes plug-in power supply (PSU) and fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. Make sure all installed modules have a matching airflow direction (front-toback).

Note: Model name and approval markings are indicated on the product label located on the bottom of the device.

Mount the Switch

Attach the Brackets
Use the included screws to attach the front- and rear-post brackets.

Mount the Switch
Mount the switch in the rack and secure it with rack screws.

Lock the Rear-Post Brackets
Use the included screws to lock the position of the rear-post brackets.

Optional Slide-Rail Installation
An optional slide-rail kit is available for rack installation. Follow the installation procedure provided with the kit.

Connect Power

AC Power
Install two AC PSUs and connect them to an AC power source.

Verify Switch Power

Check the PSU LEDs
The PSU1/PSU2 LEDs should be on green when operating normally.

Perform Initial System Boot

ONIE Installer Software
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.)

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.

Make Network Connections

RJ-45 2.5G ports
Connect 100-ohm Category 5e, 6a or 7 twisted-pair cable. Ports can support PoE connections up to 90 W.

RJ-45 10G ports
Connect 100-ohm Category 6, 6a or 7 twisted-pair cable. Ports can support PoE connections up to 90 W.

SFP+/SFP28 slots
First install SFP+/SFP28 transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports.

(Optional) Make Stack Connections

Connect the top device
Plug one end of a DAC cable in the bottom QSFP28 port of the top unit.

Connect the next device
Plug the other end of the DAC cable into the top QSFP28 port of the next unit.

Repeat
Repeat for each unit in the stack.

(Optional) Connect the top and bottom devices
Plug one end of a DAC cable into the bottom QSFP28 port on the
bottom unit and the other end into the top QSFP28 port on the top unit.

Reboot
Reboot each switch in the stack to start the stack operations.

Note: Stacking support is dependent on the switch software. For stacking support information, refer to the NOS software documentation.
