Chapter 2 • Appearance and Mechanism Fan Tray Module The fan tray module is part of the switch air cooling system that provides cooling for the switch. You must install the fan tray module in the switch that matches the airflow direction of the installed power supply unit.
Chapter 3: Installation Mounting This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a horizontal surface. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. 3.1.1 Rack Mounting Prior rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: •...
Chapter 3 • Installation (Figure 3-2: Installing the Switch in a Rack) 3. If installing a single switch only, go to “ Connecting to a Power Source ”. 4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. 3.1.2 Horizontal Surface Mounting The switch includes four pre-installed rubber feet for horizontal surface mounting.
Installing an Optional Transceiver and Cable The SFP28 slots support the following optional transceivers and cables: • 25GBASE-SR • 10GBASE-SR • 25GBASE-LR • 10GBASE-LR • 25GBASE AOC • 10GBASE AOC • 25GBASE DAC • 10GBASE DAC The QSFP28 slots support the following optional transceivers and cables: •...
Chapter 3 • Installation 3. Slide the SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. NOTE: • SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.
Connecting to a Power Source 3.4.1 Installing an AC Power Supply To connect a switch to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC socket of a PSU located at the back of the switch. Power socket (Figure 3-7: Power Socket) 2.

Chapter 3 • Installation 2. Plug the other end of the cable into DC power source. This product is intended to be supplied by DC power source with rated -40 ~ -72Vdc, 16A minimum, Tma = 40 degree C, and the altitude of operation = 3048 m. The power cable should be 14AWG (16A minimum, 72V minimum).
Chapter 4: Making the Network Connections The AG5648 switch is designed to provide high-speed, lossless Ethernet connections between server racks through its 25G SFP28 or 100G QSFP28 ports. This chapter describes how to make network connections to the switch. Twisted-pair Connections The switch’s Management port connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
Chapter 4 • Making the Network Connections Fiber Optic Connections Optional 25G SFP28 or 100G QSFP28 transceivers can be used for fiber connections from the switch to other network devices in the data center. An SFP28 or QSFP28 transceiver may also be used for long distance connections to devices at another site.
Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: • Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ- 45 connectors;...
