Installation Requirements

Before installation, make sure that you have the following:

• Anti-static gloves
• Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1 U height available
• Phillips screwdriver

Site Environment

• Make sure that the temperature of the installation site is maintained at 0°C-45°C.
• Make sure that the relative humidity of the installation site is maintained at 10%-90%.
• The installation site must be well-ventilated, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.
• Keep the installation site away from humid and high-temperature environments.
• Do not operate the switch in environments with corrosive gases or chemicals.
• For rack installation, ensure that there is adequate airflow around the switch.

Mounting the Switch

Single Switch Rack Mounting

1. Secure the short and long mounting brackets to the two sides of the switch with supplied screws.
2. Attach the switch to the rack using the M6 screws and cage nuts.

Two-ln-1 U Rack Mounting

1. Fix two middle mounts (a) to one switch with four screws.
2. Fix two middle mounts (bl to the other switch with four screws.
3. Combine two switches, and fix the combined middle mount kits with four screws.
4. Fix the two short mounting brackets to the two sides of the switches with eight screws.
5. Fix the switches to the rack with M6 screws and cage nuts.

Single-Row Stacking

1. Install the rear stacking brackets on the two sides of the switches with the supplied screws.
2. Install the front stacking brackets on the two sides of the switches with the screws.

Double-Row Stacking

1. Fix the middle mount kits and combine two switches with screws as the rack mounting.
2. Install the front and rear stacking brackets on the two sides of the switches with the supplied screws.

Grounding the Switch

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the switch is mounted.
2. Secure the grounding lug to the grounding point on the back panel of the switch with the washers and the screw.

CAUTION: The earth connection cannot be removed unless all connections are disconnected.

Connecting the RJ45 Ports

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of a network device.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the switch.

Connecting the SFP+ Ports

1. Plug the compatible SFP+ transceiver into the 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 M transceivers or optical fibers without eye protection.

Connecting the Console Port

1. Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the RJ45 console port of the switch.
2. Connect the D89 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the computer.

Connecting the Power

1. Plug the AC power cord into the power port on the back panel of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source.
3. (Optional) Use the RPS power cord to connect two S3240C-24T switches and realize the power redundancy between the two switches. If Switch A’s power fails, the power supply from the other Switch B can supply power to Switch A and itself at the same time.

WARNING: Do not install the power cord while the power is on.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-Based Interface

1. Step 1: Connect a computer to the Ethernet port of the switch using the network cable.
2. Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.x (“x” is any number from 2 to 254).
3. Step 3: Open a browser, type htlp://192.168.1.1 and enter the default username and password, admin/admin.
4. Step 4: Click Login to display the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

1. Step 1: Connect a computer to the console port of the switch with the console cable.
2. Step 2: Start the terminal simulation software, such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
3. Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: Baud rate to 115200, Data bits to 8, Parity to None, and Stop bits to 1. 
4. Step 4: After setting the parameters, click Connect to enter.

Troubleshooting

The Power Module Cannot Supply Power
All LEDs on the front panel of the switch, the fan module and the panel of the power module are off. The fan does not work. First disconnect the power cord of the power module, then check the following:

1. Whether the cable connections of the rack are correct.
2. Whether the connection between the power socket and the power cord is loose.
3. Whether the connection between the power module and the power cord is loose.
4. Whether the power module inserts into place.

Connecting the Switch Remotely Unsuccessfully

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

The Optical Port Cannot Link Up

1. Check whether the receiving and delivering ends of the fiber optical cable connect correctly.
2. Check whether the wavelengths of transceivers of the interconnection are the same.
3. Check whether the distance of the interconnection is within the distance marked by the transceiver.
4. Check whether the rates of the interconnection are the same or whether the mode of the port rate is configured correctly for ports that support different rates.
5. Check whether the optical fiber type meets the requirements.

No Characters/Distorted Characters are Displayed on the Screen of the Terminal Device 

1. Check whether the console cable is correctly connected.
2. Check whether the console cable is broken.
3. Check whether the console port of the switch is the same as the port of the terminal device.
4. Check whether the console port conguration of the terminal device is correct.
