Matters That Require Attention

  1.  Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.NOTE In order to ensure reliable operations, please make sure the operating temperature of the environment does not exceed the spec. When mounting a rack-mounted switch with other operating units in a cabinet without forced ventilation, it is recommended that 1U of space is reserved between each rack-mounted switch and/or device.
  2. Required Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.NOTE The optimal keep-out zone is 50 mm for the top, bottom, left, and right side of the device.
  3.  Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
  4.  Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
  5.  Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

ATTENTION
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Ethernet Switch. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, which can cause serious damage to your equipment.

Connecting the Power Inputs

The MDS-G4000 and MDS-G4000-L3 Series support 4 types of power supply:

  •  PWR-HV-P48: one 110/220 VAC/VDC (90 to 264 VAC, 88 to 300 VDC), one 48 VDC PoE power input for PoE+ ports.
  •  PWR-LV-P48: one 24/48 VDC (18 to 72 VDC), one 48 VDC PoE power input for PoE+ ports.
  •  PWR-HV-NP: one 110/220 VAC/VDC (90 to 264 VAC, 88 to 300 VDC) power input.
  •  PWR-LV-NP: one 24/48 VDC (18 to 72 VDC) power input.For the PWR-HV-P48, the 110/220 VAC/VDC power supplies provide power to the switch. Separate 48 VDC power supplies are required to provide power to all PoE+ ports (50 to 57 VDC is recommended for IEEE 802.3at devices. The max. PoE output from an external power supply is 720 W when the operating temperature is under 60°C; 360 W when the operating temperature is under 75°C.).For the PWR-LV-P48 models, the 24/48 VDC power supplies provide power to the switch. Separate 48 VDC power supplies are required to provide power to all PoE+ ports (50 to 57 VDC is recommended for IEEE 802.3at devices. The max. PoE output from an external power supply is 720 W when the operating temperature is under 60°C; 360 W when the operating temperature is under 75°C.). For the PWR-HV-NP, the 110/220 VAC/VDC power supplies provide power to the switch.For the PWR-LV-NP, the 24/48 VDC power supplies provide power to the switch.

Power Terminal Blocks
The connection for power input and PoE external power supply is on the power modules.

  1.  Insert the neutral/line (L/N/Ground) AC wires into the terminals.

  2.  Insert the terminal block connector into the terminal block receptor.

  3. Insert the negative/positive (-/+) DC wires into the terminals.

  4. nsert the terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor.

PoE Power Terminal Blocks

  1.  Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the -/+ terminals, respectively.
  2.  Insert the terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor.NOTE In order to have higher levels of protection against surge, it is suggested to install a surge protector in front of the power input of the PoE powered device so that it is suitable for use in IEC 61850 conditions. NOTE When wiring the power input, we suggest using the cable type – AWG (American Wire Gauge) 16 (1.31 mm2) and the corresponding pin type cable terminals. The rated temperature of wiring should be at least 105°C. NOTE When two power units are installed on the switch, both power units will be activated simultaneously, which will enable power redundancy. NOTE The reverse power input connection will not activate the device or PoE input. In addition, the PoE will only activate when the external power supply is installed on the same power unit.

Wiring the Relay Contact

Each power module has one relay output that can provide two types of relay output. Refer to the table below for detailed information.The relay contact is used to detect user-configured events. Two wires are attached to the relay pins with normally close and normally open options.

FAULT:
The relay contact of the 3-pin terminal block connector is used to detect user-configured events. The module provides normally open and normally closed circuits depending on what the user chooses. For pin definitions refer to the table below.

Relay Connection Power Off Boot up Ready Event Trigger
NO and COM Closed Circuit Open Circuit Closed Circuit
NC and COM Open Circuit Closed Circuit Open Circuit

NOTE When wiring the relay contact, we suggest using the cable type – AWG (American Wire Gauge) 16-21 (1.31-0.412 mm2) and the corresponding pin type cable terminals. The rated temperature of wiring should be at least 105°C.

  •  Max. input current: 8 mA

Installing and Removing the Ethernet Modules
The Ethernet modules are hot-swappable for the same module type. You have the option to mount or remove the Ethernet module while the device is operating.When performing a cold start, you cannot remove and insert a module before booting up as it will cause the module to initially fail. The default module is 4GTX, if it is the first time you are mounting a 4TX, PoE, or SFP module, please reboot the switch after inserting it. The hot-swappable function, as defined above, will only work after the device is rebooted for the first time.If a different model type module is changed on the same slot, itis recommended to reconfigure the settings or reset the device to default settings after rebooting the switch.

To install an Ethernet module:

  1.  Insert the Ethernet module straight into the slot.
  2.  Fasten the module to the device by tightening the 2 screws. The tightening torque is 3.5 kgf-cm (0.35 Nm).

To remove an Ethernet module:

  1.  Loosen the 2 screws of the module.
  2.  Pull the module out of the slot.
  3.  Insert the dummy module into the slot in order to have better protection against dust and EMI.
  4.  Fasten the dummy module using 2 screws. The tightening torque is 4 kgf-cm (0.4 Nm).

Installing and Removing the Power Modules

The power supply units are hot-swappable when both power modules are installed. You have the option to mount or remove the power supply units while the device is operating. To install a power module:

  1.  Insert the power unit straight into the slot
  2.  Fasten the unit to the device by tightening the 2 screws. The tightening torque is 3.5 kgf-cm (0.35 Nm)

RS-232 with RJ45 Interface Console Connection

The switch has an RS-232 serial console with an RJ45 interface. Use a Moxa 9-pin female console cable to connect to your PC’s COM port (or via USB-to- Serial converters or hubs). You can then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa’s PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the console configuration utility of the switch.RS-232 Setup:

  •  Baud rate: 115,200
  •  Data Bits: 8
  •  Parity: None
  •  Stop Bits: 1
  •  Terminal Type: VT100

3 D+ (Data+)
4 GND (Ground)

The Reset Button (Diameter 0.9 mm)
The reset button can perform two functions. One is to reset the switch to factory default settings and the other is to reboot the switch if the button has been depressed and release immediately.

Reset to Factory Default Settings
Depress the Reset button for five seconds to load the factory default settings. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or needle (the diameter must not exceed 0.9 mm), to depress the Reset button. When you do so, the STATE LED will start to blink about four times per second. Continue to depress the STATE LED until it begins blinking more rapidly; this indicates that the button has been depressed for five seconds and you can release the Reset button to load factory default settings.NOTE DO NOT power off the switch when loading default settings.
