Connecting Power - Intel True Scale Fabric Switches 12200 Installation Manual

1. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector(s) on
the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to an OOB LAN workstation,
another switch or a hub.
2. Connect the switch to IB-enabled host(s)/switch(es) using QDR QSFP IB cables, or
to DDR host(s)/switch(es) using a QSFP-CX4 cable.
Note: Make sure all cables latch securely into the corresponding port connectors. If the IB
cable connector is not properly oriented to fit onto the port receptacle (i.e., while
attempting to insert the cable in the port), do not twist the connector to achieve the
correct orientation. Instead, reach back a few feet on the cable, and twist the bulk
cable to allow the connector to rotate to the proper orientation. Doing this prevents all
of the rotational forces from acting right at the connector terminations.
Caution: It is important to provide strain relief for the IB cable connector.

Connecting Power

Note: For each power supply installed, a power cord must be installed in corresponding power
inlet.
1. Provide strain relief for the power cable(s).
2. If necessary, replace the fascia(s) over the switch fans.
3. Connect the power cables to a power distribution unit (PDU) or a proper AC power
outlet.
4. When the switch is plugged into an AC power outlet:
a. The system powers up.
b. The fans start.
c. The system performs a power-on self test.
Note: For the 12800 switches, make certain the DC ON/OFF switch is illuminated. If it is not,
press the button to supply power. The switch is located:
• 12800-360: Next to the AC power inlets on the top of the chassis.
• 12800-040: Next to the AC power inlets.
• 12800-180 and 12800-120: Next to the power supplies. If applicable, the user
needs to remove the fascia covering the supplies to access the DC ON/OFF switch.
