Installation
Warning: For a safe and reliable installation, use only the accessories and screws provided with the device. Use of other accessories and screws could result in damage to the unit. Any damages incurred by using unapproved accessories are not covered by the warranty.
Caution: The device must be installed in a restricted-access location.
Note: The device has the Open Network Install Environment
(ONIE) software installer preloaded, but no software image. Information about compatible software can be found at www.edge-core.com.
Note: The drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your particular model.
Mount the Device in an EIA-310 Rack
- For 300mm-deep rack: Using the four front screw holes, attach each of the brackets to the device with four of the included bracket screws.
- For 280mm-deep rack: Using the four recessed screw holes, attach each of the brackets to the device with four of the included bracket screws.
- Use the screws and cage/clip nuts supplied with the rack to secure the device in the rack.
Ground the Device
Verify Rack Ground
Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with international and local standards. 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 the grounding wire (#6 AWG/16 mm2) to the grounding point on the device’s rear panel or side panel. Then connect the other end of the wire to rack ground
Caution: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections have been disconnected.
Connect Power
- a. AC Power
- Install one or two AC PSUs in the device, if they are not already installed in the factory. Then connect an external AC power source to the PSUs.
- Install one or two AC PSUs in the device, if they are not already installed in the factory. Then connect an external AC power source to the PSUs.
- b. DC Power
- Install one or two DC PSUs (part number CRXT-T0T12B only) in the device, if they are not already installed in the factory. Connect an external DC power source to the PSUs. Or, connect to a notolerance DC mains supply with a UL/CSA-approved circuit breaker rated at 16 A.
- Install one or two DC PSUs (part number CRXT-T0T12B only) in the device, if they are not already installed in the factory. Connect an external DC power source to the PSUs. Or, connect to a notolerance DC mains supply with a UL/CSA-approved circuit breaker rated at 16 A.
Caution: Before connecting power supply cables to the device, ensure that power to the feed lines is turned off at the supply circuit breaker or disconnected from the power bus
Caution: Use a UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 and/or 62368-1 certified power supply to connect to a DC converter, and a #14 AWG/1.5 mm2 (for 36 VDC to 72 VDC PSU) wire to connect to a DC PSU.
Caution: All DC power connections should be performed by a qualified professional.
- Connect the ground wire / protective earth.
- Connect the 36 – 72 VDC wire.
- Connect the DC return wire.
Note: It is suggested to use the following for DC power: One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum (36VDC-72VDC: Input+) One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum (VDC return: Input-) One UL 1015 AWG#10-14 stranded wire, 2m maximum, (green/yellow) green with yellow stripe (PE)
Note: The DC terminal screws should be tightened to a torque of 7 in-lbs maximum
Make Network Connections
QSFP28/SFP28 Ports
Install transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. Alternatively, connect AOC/DAC cables directly to the QSFP28/ SFP28 slots.
The following transceivers are supported in the QSFP28 ports:
- 100GBASE-SR4
- 100GBASE-LR4
- 100GBASE-ER4
The following transceivers are supported in the SFP28 ports:
- 25GBASE-SR
- 25GBASE-LR
- 10GBASE-SR
- 10GBASE-LR
- 10GBASE-ER
- 10GBASE-ZR
Connect Timing Ports
- GNSS Antenna
- Attach an external antenna to the GNSS antenna port for clock synchronization with GPS time.
- RJ-45 ToD/1pps
- Use a Cat. 5e or be`tter twisted-pair cable to connect the 1-pulse-persecond (1pps) and Time of Day (ToD) port to other synchronized devices.
- 10MHz/1pps
- Use coax cables to connect the 10 MHz and 1-pulse-per-second (1pps) ports to other synchronized devices.
Make Management Connections
- MGMT RJ-45 Port
- Connect Category 5, 5e or better twisted-pair cable.
- RJ-45 Console Port
- Use the included RJ-45-to-DB-9 null-modem console cable 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. Console cable pinouts and wiring
