Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Handling the G3 Switch and Components
Caution: The switch can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Attach an ESD wrist strap before handling the switch or
components.
Unpacking the Switch or Components
Unpack the switch as follows:
1. Remove the packing material protecting the switch.
2. Remove the switch or component from the non‐conductive bag.
3. Perform a visual inspection of the switch for any signs of
physical damage. Contact Enterasys Networks if there are any
signs of damage. See "Getting Help" for more information.
Installing the Optional PoE module into an IOM Card
If you have purchased an optional PoE module (G3G‐POE), you
can install it before installing the G3G‐24TX IOM card into the
G‐Series base system chassis or at any time by first removing the
IOM card as described in "Removing an IOM Card".
To install the PoE module in an IOM card:
1. Gently plug the PoE module into the IOM card by fitting the
standoffs into the PoE board mounting holes as shown in
Figure 2. There should be a direct vertical translation of
standoffs to PoE mounting holes.
2. Using the screws shipped with the PoE module, firmly attach
the PoE module to the IOM card.

Installing an IOM Card
Caution: If you are installing multiple IOMs into a switch that is
running, wait until the previously installed IOM is completely
initialized before attempting to install the next IOM. Initialization is
complete when the slot's status LED turns solid green.
To install an IOM card:
1. Loosen the captive screws on the coverplate and remove the
coverplate from the slot.
2. Insert the IOM card in the guide rail of the slot. Gently slide the
card into the slot, as shown in Figure 3, until the IOM card
engages the connector on the backplane and the IOM card locks
into place and is flush with adjoining coverplates.
3. Tighten the two captive screws.

4. If installing additional modules, wait until the slot status LED
for the previously installed IOM is solid green before installing
additional modules. Save coverplates for optional future use.
5. After completing all module installation, be sure to install
coverplate(s) over any unused IOM slot(s) to contain EMI
radiation and ensure proper air circulation.
Removing an IOM Card
1. Disconnect any cabling from the IOM card.
2. Loosen the IOM card's two captive screws.
3. Press the power off button corresponding to the slot from which
you want to remove the IOM card as shown in Figure 4.
Caution: Do not attempt to power-down and remove more than one
IOM at a time. You must complete the removal procedure outlined in
this section before attempting to remove another IOM.

2 SYSTEM LED 4 IOM power off status LEDs (Slot 2, 3 and 4)
4. When the slot's POWER OFF status LED turns amber, gently
slide the module out of the slot.
Caution: Use caution when removing an IOM on which you have an
optional PoE module installed to avoid damaging the PoE module.
Replace the slot's coverplate to contain EMI radiation and ensure
proper air circulation.
Installing a Power Supply
These power supplies can be installed on the G‐Series switch:
• G3‐PWR, a 400‐watt AC power supply (requires 15A circuit)
• G3‐PWR‐POE, a 1200‐watt AC power supply (requires 20A
circuit)
To install a single power supply in the G‐Series switch:
Note: The following procedure is for installing a single power supply.
For instructions on installing a second power supply, power supply
planning considerations, and advanced power configurations, see
the G‐Series Hardware Installation Guide.
1. Holding the power supply by its handle, position it with the
status LEDs to the left and align it with the slot opening.
2. Carefully slide the module until it connects to the backplane. If
significant resistance is encountered before the power supply is
seated, remove and reinsert it. Do not force the module into
place.
3. Secure the power supply to the chassis by tightening the captive
screws.
4. If you are finished installing IOM cards and are ready to connect
to a power source, plug the power cord into the power supply
AC inlet, then into a grounded outlet.
Completing the Setup and Downloading the Latest
Firmware
Once you have connected power to the G3 switch and verified LED
activity, you can complete the setup process. For more information,
see the Enterasys G‐Series Hardware Installation Guide.
1. Determine the latest G3 firmware version at:
http://secure.enterasys.com/services/support/downloads/software
2. Connect the switch to the network.
3. Connect a management station to the console port.
4. Verify that the network devices connected to the switch ports are
powered on, and that each link/activity LED is on (solid green or
blinking green).
5. At the device connected to the console port:
a. Enter admin for Username.
b. At the Password prompt, press ENTER (RETURN).
c. At the command prompt, determine if the latest firmware image
is loaded on the switch by entering this command:
show version
d. If the output (under FW Version) displays an older version
number than that determined in Step 1, download and activate
the new version as directed on the download website or use the
CLI commands listed in Table 1.)
Basic Setup Commands
Table 1 lists CLI commands that are required for setting up the G3
switch with the latest firmware. Table 2 lists additional configuration
commands for your G3 switch. For the complete list of CLI
commands, see the Enterasys G‐Series CLI Reference.
