This guide is to assist the reader with the most basic form of installation and cable connection to our switches. As there is more than one switch in the Aurora series, the actual port placement might slightly differ, however, the installation and connection logic are the same for all Netberg switches.
Hardware Installation 2.1. Installation Guidelines This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that administrators must follow in or- der to properly and safely install this switch into the appropriate environment.
Hardware Installation 2.2. Installation using the Rubber Feet When installing the switch in an area other than inside a switch rack, like on a desktop, rubber feet can be attached to the bottom panel of the switch. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protecting the casing from scratches, preventing it from scratching other surfaces, and preventing it from slip- ping.
Hardware Installation 2.3. Installation into a Rack The switch can be mounted in a standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. The following section will explain how to install the rack-mount brackets onto the switch and then mount the switch into a standard 1U rack-mount unit. 1.
Hardware Installation 2.4. Installing Transceivers and cables into the Switch Ports Figure 2.5. Transceivers and cables 2.4.1. SFP+/SFP28 Port Connection (LC Type Connec- tor) The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) port is the second generation of the SFP intercon- nect system designed for 10Gb/s data rate. The SFP+ ports support 10-gigabit IEEE 802.3ae Eth- ernet for fiber mediums.

Hardware Installation QSFP28 (Quad SFP) ports which support 100G/per port or fan out to 4x25G by using the fan out DAC cable. 1. Slide the QSFP module into a QSFP port. Ensure the QSFP module is positioned correctly before installing it into the port. 2.
Hardware Installation 2.5. Power supply Equipped with two supply modules, the switch can operate with either one or two power supply modules. If the switch uses two power supply modules, you can hot-swap one of the PSU during the operations. One PSU is enough for a fully loaded chassis.
Hardware Installation 2.6. Connect the Power Cable Connect one end of the AC power cord, included in the package, into the grounded electrical outlet at the site and insert the other end of the AC power cord into the AC power receptacle of the AC power supply module on the back panel of the switch.
Hardware Installation 2.7. Rack-mount Safety Precautions For your protection, observe the following rack-mount safety precautions when setting up your equipment: • Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Hardware Installation 2.8. Console port The console port is used for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a console ter- minal or PC using a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to a terminal or PC using the supplied console cable (RJ-45 male to RS-232 female cable) for serial communication.
