Installation

Warnings and Cautions:

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 includes plug-in power supply (PSU) and fan tray modules that are installed into its chassis. Make sure all installed modules have a matching airflow direction.

Note: The device has the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) software installer preloaded, but no device 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.

1. Mount the Device

Caution: This device must be installed in a telecommunications room or a server room where only qualified personnel have access.

Attach the included screws to attach the front- and rear-post brackets. Mount the device in the rack and secure it with rack screws.

Diagram Description: Illustrations show attaching mounting brackets to the switch and then securing the switch into a rack.

2. Ground the Device

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 the included grounding wire to the grounding point on the device rear panel. Then connect the other end of the wire to rack ground.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a grounding wire connecting from the device's rear panel to a grounding point on the rack.

3. Connect Power

Install one or two AC PSUs and connect them to an AC power source.

Diagram Description: An image shows AC power cords being connected to the PSUs on the rear of the switch.

4. Make Network Connections

Install transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. Alternatively, connect DAC or AOC cables directly to the slots.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows fiber optic cables being connected to SFP+ and QSFP28 ports, and also mentions DAC or AOC cables.

Management Connections

10/100/1000M RJ-45 Management Port

Connect Cat. 5e or better twisted-pair cable.

RJ-45 Console Port

Connect the included console cable to a PC running terminal emulator software and then 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:
