x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Power Supplies There are five power supply models for the x930 Series switches. The models are listed here: AT-PWR150 AT-PWR250 AT-PWR250-80 AT-PWR800 AT-PWR1200 The top three models are primarily intended for the non-PoE AT-x930- 28GTX, AT-x930-28GSTX, and AT-x930-52GTX Switches.
Chapter 1: Overview The AT-PWR250-80 DC Power Supply illustrated in Figure 6 has the same operating characteristics as the AT-PWR150 and AT-PWR250 Power Supplies. It, too, is intended for the non-PoE switches because it can supply system power, but no PoE power. The only difference is that this power supply has a DC wiring connector instead of an AC connector, for DC wiring environments.
You may not install two different power supply models in the switch. The non-PoE AT-x930-28GTX AT-x930-28GSTX, and AT-x930- 52GTX Switches require only one power supply for full operations. Installing a second power supply adds power redundancy, which protects against interruptions to network operations in the event one power supply loses power or fails.
Page 28
Chapter 1: Overview The PoE AT-x930-28GPX and AT-x930-52GPX Switches also require only one power supply for network operations, excluding PoE. The switches can continue to operate even if one power supply fails or loses power. The second power supply in the PoE switches either increases the amount of power for PoE or adds PoE redundancy.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches 10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports The twisted pair ports on the switches are described in this section. Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with Auto- Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Chapter 1: Overview The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when ports are operating at 1000 Mbps. Maximum The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Distance Cable The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 2. Requirements Table 2.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Power Over Ethernet The AT-x930-28GPX and AT-x930-52GPX Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/100/1000Base-T ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic.

IEEE Powered Device Classes Maximum Power Class Output from a Switch PD Power Range Port 15.4W 0.44W to 12.95W 4.0W 0.44W to 3.84W 7.0W 3.84W to 6.49W 15.4W 6.49W to 12.95W 30.0W 12.95W to 25.5W Cable The cable requirements for ports operating at 10 or 100Mbps are given in Table 4.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches The cable requirements for ports operating at 1000Mbps are given in Table 5. Table 5. Twisted Pair Cable Requirements for the 10/100/1000Base-T Ports at 1000Mbps 1000Mbps Cable Type Non- PoE+ Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 16 MHz.
Chapter 1: Overview Note The AT-PWR250 and AT-PWR250-80 Power Supplies are intended for the non-PoE AT-x930-28GTX, AT-x930-28GSTX, and AT-x930- 52GTX Switches. They are not intended for the AT-x930-28GPX and AT-x930-52GPX Switches because they do not provide power for PoE + devices. You may install them in the PoE+ switches, but the switches will not support PoE devices.

Chapter 1: Overview Ports set to the Critical level, the highest priority level, are guaranteed power before any of the ports assigned to the other two priority levels. Ports assigned to the other priority levels receive power only if all the Critical ports are receiving power.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches SFP Slots The twenty four SFP slots on the AT-x930-28GSTX Switch support the following types of transceivers: 100Base-FX, 1000Base-T, and 1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceivers Single-port BiDi 100Base-FX and 1000Base-LX SFP transceivers 1000Base-ZX SFP transceivers The slots are paired with the twenty four 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports.
The switches support a variety of short or long distance SFP or SFP+ modules. For a list of supported modules, contact your Allied Telesis representative or visit our web site. Note The SFP+ slots do not support 100Mbps 100Base-FX transceivers.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Stacking S1 and S2 SFP+ Slots As explained in the previous section, you may use the four SFP+ slots on the front panel of the switch with SFP 1000Mbps or SFP+ 10Gbps transceivers to add high speed links from the switch to other network devices.
Chapter 1: Overview Ethernet Management Port (NET MGMT) The NET MGMT port in the management panel of the switch is a separate routed eth0 interface. The interface is not part of the switching matrix of the Ethernet line cards, but the CPU on the controller card can route traffic in or out of the port from the line cards.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches eco-friendly Button The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle the port LEDs on or off. You might turn off the LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the device. You can also toggle the LEDs with the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface.
LEDs Here are descriptions of the LEDs. LEDs for the The twisted pair ports on the AT-x930-28GTX, AT-x930-28GSTX, and AT- x930-52GTX Switches have two LEDs that display link, activity and duplex Twisted Pair mode information. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9.

Note You can use the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT command in the command line interface to identify the source of the problem. The states of the LED when the switch is operating in the low power mode are shown in Figure 15.
Chapter 1: Overview USB Port The management panel has a USB port. You may use the port to store configuration files on flash drives or to restore configuration files to switches whose settings have been lost or corrupted, or to quickly configure replacement units.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Console Port You use the Console port to manage the switch and configure its features and parameter settings. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local management because it is not conducted over your network.
Chapter 1: Overview Optional Cards The switches have two optional cards: AT-StackQS Card AT-x9EM/XT4 Card AT-StackQS This card is used to build a VCStack of up to eight switches. The card has two slots for transceivers. The transceivers are used to build the trunk that Card connects the switches of a stack together.

x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Recommended Minimum Wall Area Dimensions The recommended minimum dimensions for the reserved wall area for the switch are listed here: Width: 68.0 centimeters (27 inches) Height: 58.4 centimeters (23 inches) You should position the switch in the reserved wall area such that the front panel has more space than the rear panel.
x930 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs If you are installing the switch on a wall that has wooden studs, Allied Telesis recommends using a plywood base to attach the device to the wall.
Chapter 7: Installing the Switch on a Wall The plywood base allows you to mount the switch on two wall studs. If you install the switch without the base, only one side of it would be attached to a stud. This is because the standard distance between two studs in a wall is 41 centimeters (16 inches) while the distance between the left and right brackets on the switch is 36.2 centimeters (14 1/4 inches).
