Mount the Device
Caution: This device must be installed in a telecommunications room or a
server room where only qualified personnel have access.
-
Attach the Brackets
Use the included screws to attach the front- and rear-post brackets. -
Mount the Device
Mount the device in the rack and secure it with rack screws.
Ground the Device
Verify Rack Ground
Ensure the rack on which the device is to be mounted 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 Grounding Wire
Attach a lug (not provided) to a #6 AWG minimum grounding wire (not provided),
and connect it to the grounding point on the device rear panel. Then connect
the other end of the wire to rack ground.
Connect Power
When the input voltage is 200-240 VAC or 240 VDC, install one or two AC PSUs and connect them to the AC power source. When the input voltage is 100-127 VAC, two AC PSUs must be installed and connected to the AC power source.
Make Network Connections
400G QSFP56-DD Ports and 10G SFP+ Ports
Install transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver
ports. Alternatively, connect DAC or AOC cables directly to the slots.
Make Management Connections
10/100/1000M RJ-45 Management Port
Connect Cat. 5e or better twisted-pair cable.
RJ-45 Console Port
Use an RJ-45-to-DB-9 null-modem console cable (not included) to connect to a
PC running terminal emulator software. Use a USB-to-male DB-9 adapter cable
(not included) for connections to PCs that do not have a DB-9 serial port.
Configure the serial connection: 115200 bps, 8 characters, no parity, one stop
bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control.
