Installation Requirements

Safety Precaution
The following precautions should be followed to avoid equipment damage and personal injury caused by improper use:

Power source should be removed before cleaning switches. Do not use wet rags to wipe switches and clean switches with liquid.
Do not place switches near water or in a wet environment, and prevent water or moisture from entering switch chassis.
Do not place switches on an unstable case or table, since the dropping would cause serious harm to switches.
Maintain good indoor ventilation and clear air holes of switches.
Switches shall work normally under correct voltage, so make sure the operating voltage agrees with the voltage marked on switches.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove its enclosure when a switch is working, and don’t do so at will even if it is not powered.
Anti-static gloves must be worn when replacing interface board to prevent static electricity from damaging veneer.

Installation Site
To ensure a normal work environment, S5850 series switches should have the following requirements for workplace:

Ensure that there are some spaces at the inlet and outlet of switch for heat dissipation of switch chassis.
Ensure that rack and working platform have good ventilation and heat dissipation systems.
Ensure that rack and working platform are rm enough to support the weight of a switch and its accessories for installation.
Ensure rack and working platform are well earthed.

Mounting the Switch

Rack Mounting

Install the front mounting brackets and the sliding rails on the switch.
Fix the rear mounting brackets to the rack.
Push the switch slightly into the rack along the sliding rails, and fix the other end of front mounting brackets upon the front hold strip of rack using screws and matching nuts.

Grounding the Switch

Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the switch is mounted.
Secure the grounding lug to the grounding point on the switch back panel with the washer and screws.

NOTE:

Only S5850-48S8C-DC can be grounded.
The earth connection cannot be removed unless all connections are disconnected.

Connecting the Power

Plug the AC power cord into the power port on the back of the switch.
Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source.
(The S5850-48S8C-DC power port is different from the power ports of S5850-48S8C and S5850-48B8C. )

WARNING: Do not install power cables while the power is on.

Connecting the SFP28 Ports

Plug the compatible SFP28 transceiver into the SFP28 port.
Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to other fiber devices.

Connecting the QSFP28 Ports

Plug the compatible QSFP28 transceiver into the QSFP28 port.
Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceivers. Then connect the other end of the cable to other fiber devices.

Connecting the USB port

Connect the DB9 female connector of the mini USB to RS-232 serial port on the computer.
Insert the mini USB connector into USB port on the back of the switch.

Connecting the Console Port

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

Connecting the ETH Port

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

Conﬁguring the Switch

Conﬁguring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface
Step 1: Connect the computer to the Management port of the switch using the network cable.
Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.x. (“x” is any number from 2 to 254.). Set the subnet mask of the computer to 255.255.255.0

Step 3: Open a browser, type http://192.168.1.1, 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 Console Port
Step 1: Connect a computer to the switch’s console port using the supplied console cable.
Step 2: start simulation software such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: 115200 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no ﬂow control.

Step 4: Enter the default username and password, admin/admin．

Troubleshooting

Loading Failure Troubleshooting
After loading fails, the system will keep running in the original version. At this time, users should re-check if physical port connection are good rstly. If some ports are not connected, then re-connect them to ensure that physical connections are correct, and begin re-loading. If physical connections are correct, then check the loading process information displayed on the super terminal to verify if there are input errors. If there are input errors, correct them and re-load.

User Password Lost Troubleshooting
If system password is lost or forgotten, the following method can be used to reset the password:

Connect the console port of the switch to the computer through the console cable.
Press ctrl + b to enter 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.

Power System Troubleshooting
According to the power indicator on the front panel, the switches can be used to determine whether the power system of the switch is faulty. If the power system is working normally,the power indicators should remain lit. If the power indicator is unlit, the power supply system is not working. Please check the following:

Whether the switch power cable is connected correctly.
Whether the power supply of the switch matches the required power supply.
