Installation Requirements Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following: Phillips screwdriver. Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 4U height available. Category 5e or higher RJ45 Ethernet cables, fiber optical cables and console cable for connecting network devices. Site Environment: Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 40°C. The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate airflow around the switch. The switch should be installed at least 4U (177.8mm) away from devices to its sides. Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions. Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment. The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. Ensure rack and working platforms are well earthed. Mounting the Switch Rack Mounting 1. Attach the guide rails to the rack using eight M6*16 screws and nuts. 2. Attach the switch to the rack using four M6*16 screws and nuts. The switch chassis stops on the guide rails. Installing the Vertical Cable Managers 1. The four M6*16 screws and nuts on the mounting brackets should be removed before installing the vertical cable managers. 2. Remove the handles on the mounting brackets. NC8400-4TH 3. Attach the vertical cable managers to the rack using four M6*25 screws and nuts. Installing the Line Cards 400-4TH 1. Pinch the captive screws on line card and rotate the ejector lever outward. Push the line card into the slot horizontally. 2. Tighten the captive screws with a screwdriver to secure line card in the chassis. NOTE: Line card NC8400-32C is hot-swappable. It can be safely installed and removed while the switch is powered on and running. Replacing the Power Supply Module Console 1. Press and hold the lock of the power module leftward and pull the module out by the handle. Console 2. Take the plane printed with power information as the top panel of the power module. Hold the handle of the power module with one hand, and support the bottom with the other hand. Horizontally push the power module into the slot. The power module is completely seated in the slot until a click is heard. NOTE: 1. Insert the power module steadily. Please pay attention to the direction of the power panel to avoid wrong insertion. If the position is not proper, pull the power supply module out slowly and re-insert it. 2. The power supply modules are factory-installed, please take steps above to replace the modules if necessary. Replacing the Fan Module Console M2EFAN I-F 1. Loosen the captive screws of the fan module with a screwdriver. 2. Hold the handle at the end of the fan module, and withdraw the fan module slowly. Console M2EFAN I-F 3. Hold the handle at the end of a new fan module. Insert the fan module to the chassis slowly until it is fully seated, and make sure that it is in good contact with the slot. 4. Tighten the captive screws with a screwdriver to fix the fan module in the switch chassis. NOTE: 1. If the screws cannot be tightened, it is probably because the fan module is not fully inserted. Please check it carefully. 2. The fan modules are factory-installed, please take steps above to replace the modules if necessary. Grounding the Switch Console 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 switch back panel with the washers and screw. CAUTION: The earth connection must not be removed unless all supply connections have been disconnected. Connecting the Power 1. Plug the AC power cord into the power port on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source. Connecting the QSFP28 Ports H First install QSFP28 transceivers and then connect fiber optic cables to the transceiver ports, or directly connect DAC cables to the QSFP28 slots. WARNING: Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of transceivers or optical fibers without eye protection. Connecting the Console Port Console 1. Insert the RJ45 connector into the RJ45 console port on the rear of the switch. 2. Connect the DB9 female connector of the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer. Connecting the MGMT Port Console 1. Connect one end of a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to a computer. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the MGMT port on the rear of the switch. Connecting the USB Port Console Insert the Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash disk to the USB port for software and configuration backup and offline software upgrade. USB Configuring the Switch Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port: Step 1: Connect a computer to the console port of the switch using the console cable. Step 2: Start the terminal simulation software such as HyperTerminal on the computer. Step 3: Set the parameters of the HyperTerminal: 115200 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control. Step 4: After setting the parameters, click Connect to enter. Quick Connect x Protocol: Serial The port may be manually entered or selected from the list. Port: Baud rate: Data bits: Parity: Stop bits: Name of pipe: COM3 115200 8 None 1 Flow Control DTR/DSR RTS/CTS XON/XOFF Show quick connect on startup Save session Open in a tab Connect Cancel Troubleshooting Power System Fault The indicator on the front panel of the host is OFF. The Status indicator of the fan module is OFF, and the fan does not work. The indicator of the power module is OFF. Please check the following: First disconnect the power cord of the power module. 1. Whether the cables of the cabinet have been correctly connected. 2. Whether the cabinet power sockets are loosely connected to power modules. 3. Whether the power modules are installed correctly. The Fan Does Not Work After the system starts, the fan does not work or the Status indicator is OFF. Please check the following: Check if the connection between the fan module and the backplane is secure and if the connector gets loose. If the connection is secure, you need to replace the fan module. Serial Port Console Has No Output or Outputs Illegible Characters 1. Check whether serial port cable is connected correctly, whether serial port cable is disconnected, and whether the connected serial port is identical with that configured on the HyperTerminal. 2. Check that the parameter configuration of the serial port matches that specified in the instructions.
