Installation Requirements

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the followings:

  • Phillips screwdriver.
  • Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available.
  • Category 5e or higher RJ-45 Ethernet cables, fiber optical cables and console cable for connecting network devices.

Site Environment:

  • Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 50°C.
  • The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate airflow around the switch.
  • The switch should be installed at least 1U (44.45mm) away from devices to its sides.
  • Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
  • Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
  • The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity.
  • Ensure rack and working platforms are well earthed.

FS S3910 Series Managed L2 + Gigabit Switches - Power Supply
Module

  1. Take a new power module out of the package.
  2. Take the plane printed with power information as the top panel of the power module. Hold the handle of the power module with one hand, and hold the end of the power module with the other hand. Insert it into the chassis along the guide rail steadily and slowly until a click is heard, and make sure that it is in good contact with the power slot.

NOTE:

  1. S3910-24TF switch has one built-in power supply.
  2. Insert the power module steadily. Please pay attention to the direction of the power panel to avoid wrong insertion. If the position is not proper, press the plug of the power module and hold on to the module handle with one hand to pull it out slowly, then re-insert it.

Grounding the Switch

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.

WARNING: Do not install power cable while the power is on.
Connecting the RJ45 Ports

FS S3910 Series Managed L2 + Gigabit Switches - Connecting the RJ45
Ports

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of a computer, printer, network storage, or other network devices.
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the switch.

Connecting the SFP/SFP+ Ports

FS S3910 Series Managed L2 + Gigabit Switches - Connecting the SFP SFP+
Ports

  1. Plug the compatible SFP/SFP+ transceiver into the SFP/SFP+ port.
  2. Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

WARNING: Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or optical fibers without eye protection.
Connecting the Console Port

FS S3910 Series Managed L2 + Gigabit Switches - Connecting the Console
Port

  1. Insert the RJ45 connector into the RJ45 console port on the front of the switch.
  2. Connect the DB9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port on the computer.

Stacking the Switches

The S3910 series switches support stacking up to 4 units. Switches in the series can be physically stacked using optical fiber cables connected to SFP/SFP+ transceivers or 1/10G Direct Attach Cables (DAC).

Switches

NOTE:

  1. S3910-24TF switch supports stacking with the same models together. S3910-24TS/S3910-48TS switches support stacking with each other.
  2. S3910-48TS switch only supports port 51 & 52 for physical stacking.

Configuring the Switch

Troubleshooting

1/10G Port is not Working
In the case of compatible cables and transceivers, the port cannot be up, please try to modify the port mode to adapt or force the port speed to 1/10G.
Connecting the Switch Remotely Unsuccessfully

  1. Test network connectivity through ping.
  2. If the network is reachable, try restarting the switch.
  3. Check if the corresponding service is enabled.

The Port is not Working, the LED Indicator is Off

  1. Ensure the switch ports are in the no shutdown state.
