Safety Principles

Keep the installation area dustless and clean.
Place tools in a secure location to prevent them from falling.
Wear appropriate clothing, ensuring sleeves are rolled up and ties/scarves are fastened to avoid snagging.
Wear protective glasses if the environment poses a risk to your eyes.
Avoid operations that could cause damage to humans or devices.

Site Environment

Ensure the workspace is well-ventilated with adequate heat dissipation and air circulation for device cooling.
Follow electrostatic discharge prevention procedures to avoid damaging devices.
Position the switch where cool air can effectively dissipate heat. Ensure the machine box is sealed to maintain proper airflow.

Mounting the Switch

Connecting the Power

1. Plug the AC power cord into the switch power port on the back panel.

2. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power source.

Connecting the RJ45/SFP Port

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on networking equipment (e.g., PC, printer, server, storage).

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the switch's RJ45 port.

Connecting the SFP Port

1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP port.

2. Plug a fiber patch cable into the SFP transceiver.

3. Connect the other end of the fiber to the device for data communication.

Connecting the SFP+ Port

1. Insert the SFP+ module into the SFP+ port.

2. Plug a fiber patch cable into the SFP+ transceiver.

3. Connect the other end of the fiber to the device for data communication.

Connecting the Management Ports

Connecting the Console Port

1. Prepare a console cable.

2. Insert the RJ45 connector of the console cable into the console port on the switch.

3. Connect the DB9 female connector on the other end of the console cable to the serial port on the computer.

Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Switch Using the Web-based Interface

Step 1: Connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable and open a web browser.

Step 2: Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.x (where "x" is any number from 2 to 254) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Step 3: Open a web browser and type https://192.168.0.1 in the address bar. Enter the default username and password (admin/admin).

Step 4: Click sign-in to access the web-based configuration page.

Configuring the Switch Using the Console Port

Step 1: Use the console cable to directly connect the switch console port to your computer.

Step 2: Launch the terminal simulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal) on the computer.

Step 3: Configure the parameters of the terminal emulation software as follows: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

Step 4: Enter the default username and password (admin/admin).

Troubleshooting

Hardware Fault Analysis

Power and Cooling Systems

Faults Relative with Power and Cooling System:

Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:

When the power switch is at the "ON" position, check if the fan works normally. If the fan does not work well, check the fan.
The working temperature of the switch is from 0 to 40 Celsius degrees (32-104 Fahrenheit degrees). If the switch is too hot, check if the air outlet and air inlet are clean and then perform relevant operations as described in "Requirements for Common Locations".
If the switch cannot be started and the PWR indicator is off, check the power source and the power cable.
