Safety Principles
Keep dustless and clean during or after the installation.

• Put the cover in a safe place.
• Put tools in the right place where they are not easily falling down.
• Put on relatively tight clothes, fasten the tie or scarf well and roll up the sleeve, avoiding stumbling the machine box.
• Put on protective glasses if the environment may cause damage to your eyes.
• Avoid incorrect operations that may cause damage to humans or devices.

Site Environment

• Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices is well-discharged.
• Avoid damaging devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention procedure.

• Put the machine box in a place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the machine box.
• Make sure the machine box is sealed.

Mounting the Switch

Connecting the Power

• Plug the AC power cord to the switch power port on the back rear.
• Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source equipment.

Connecting the SFP+/QSFP28 Port

• Plug a compatible SFP+/QSFP28 transceiver into the SFP+/QSFP28 port.
• Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber transceiver. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

Connecting the Management Ports

Connecting the Console Port

• Prepare a console cable.
• Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the console port on 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 a computer.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the ETH port on the front of the switch.

Connecting the USB Port

• Insert the Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash disk to the USB port for software and configuration backup and offline software upgrade.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface

• Step 1 : Connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable and open a web browser.

• Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.x (where “x” is any number from 2 to 254) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

• Step 3: Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.2 in the address bar. Enter the default username and password (admin/admin).

• Step 4: Click sign-in to access the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

• Step 1: Use the console cable to directly connect the switch console port to your computer.
• Step 2: Launch the terminal simulation software such as Hyper Terminal on the computer.
• Step 3: Configure the parameters of the terminal emulation software as follows: 9600 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

Hardware Fault Analysis

1. Power and cooling systems—power and fan.
2. Port, cable and connection—ports on the front panel of the switch and the cables connecting these ports.

Faults Relative to Power and Cooling System
Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:

1. When the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check whether the fan works normally. If the fan does not work well, check the fan.
2. If the switch is too hot, check whether the air outlet and air inlet are clean and then do relative operations in section 2.3 “Requirements for Common Locations”.
3. If the switch cannot be started and the PWR indicator is off, check the power.

Faults Relative to Port, Cable and Connection
Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:

1. If the port of the switch cannot be linked, check whether the cable is correctly connected and whether the peer connection is normal.
2. If the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check the power source and the power cable.
3. If the CLI port does not work after the system is started up, check whether the CLI port is set to a baud rate of 9600 bps, eight data bits, no sum check bit, one stop bit and no traffic control.
