The switch has several LED indicators on the front panel:

indicator A and B, system indicator. If the system
indicator flickers, the system works well. If the indicator is off
or always on, the system is abnormally started.
1-48(LINK/ACT)| SFP+ port indicators| LINK/ACT| If the indicator is always on, the port is normally linked. If
the indicator is off, the port is not linked. If the indicator
flickers, there is data transmission.
1-2| QSFP+ port indicators| 40G| If the indicator is always on, the port is normally linked. If
the indicator is off, the port is not linked. If the indicator
flickers, there is data transmission.

Installation Requirements

Tool Preparation:

To install the switch, you will need the following tools:

• 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.

Product Usage Instructions

To use the S7300-48X2Q4C switch, follow these steps:

1. Connect the power supply A and B to the switch.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 console port or Ethernet management port on the back panel.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the control terminal or other Ethernet terminal devices.
4. If necessary, connect a USB cable to the USB management port for software and configuration backup and offline software upgrade.
5. Connect your network devices to the SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 ports on the front panel.
6. Check the LED indicators on the front panel to ensure that the ports are properly linked and there is data transmission.

Introduction

Temperature/Humidity Requirements：

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.

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 thesubnet 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 stop bitand 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.
