The procedure of loading an application file is similar to that of loading a Boot ROM file. The difference lies in that the system displays the prompt of loading the application file rather than the Boot ROM file.

    Host software loading takes effect only after you restart the switch with the reboot command. If the space of the flash memory is not enough, you can delete the useless files in the flash memory before software downloading. Power interruption is not allowed during software loading. Loading Software Using TFTP The remote loading by using TFTP is similar to the remote loading by using FTP.

    Maintenance and Troubleshooting Software Loading Failure If software loading fails, the system keeps running in original version. In this case, check if the physical ports are properly connected. If the ports are not properly connected, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure. If the ports are properly connected, check the loading procedure information displayed on the HyperTerminal for input errors.

    Power Supply Failure Fixed Power Module Failure Each model of the S5500-SI series (except the S5500-20TP-SI) provides two fixed power inputs. You can use the two power inputs at the same time for redundancy or use one power input. Such switch models support three power input modes, namely, AC input, RPS input and both.
  • Page 81 Check whether the AC power cord is well connected to the switch, whether the AC receptacle on the switch and the AC power socket are faulty. Check whether the AC external power supply system is normal. Check whether the switch is well connected to the external RPS power supply. Check whether the external RPS power supply works normally.

    Only when the system status LED is steady red and the seven-segment LED is displayed as F does it indicate a fan failure. The S5500-SI series switches use fixed fans. If a fixed fan failure occurs, you cannot solve the problem by yourself. Please contact your sales agent or service engineer.

    Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) Lightning arrester will not be shipped with the switch. You should purchase it by yourself if needed. If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) before you plug AC power cord into the switch, thus to prevent the possible damage to the switch due to lightning strike.
  • Page 86 Make sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power. After inserting AC power cord plug of switch into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is on and the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the function of lightning protection has taken effect.
