Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The AG7648 is a high performance ToR/leaf bare metal switch design for today data centers, who wish to avoid the vendor lock-in with integrated switch designs. The device has forty-eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and six 40GbE QSFP ports which provides comprehensive hardware capability on supporting layer 2, layer 3 and data center features, including VxLAN, L2GRE, NVGRE and MPLS, etc..
Chapter 1 • Introduction Features The following lists the main features of the AG7648 switch: • 48 x 10GbE SFP+ ports • 6 x 40GbE QSFP ports • 1 x OOB Management • 1 x Console port (RJ-45 type) • 1 x USB port •...
Redundant PSU x 2 (Figure 2-2: Rear View) NOTE: The switch supports up to two PSUs. However, it is shipped with one power supply pre-installed in the rear panel of the switch. You may purchase an additional PSU for redundancy. AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. • Remove the power cable from the module prior to removing the module itself. Power cable must not be connected prior to insertion in the chassis or equivalent. AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...
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.
2. Mount the device in the rack, using four 12-24 rack-mounting screws. NOTE: Rack screws and clip nuts are not supplied in the rack-mounting kit. CAUTION: Due to the switch’s weight, it should be installed by at least two people. AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...
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.
• SFP+/QSFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver. • SFP+/QSFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package. AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...
Chapter 3 • Installation Connecting to the Console Port This port is used to connect a console device to the switch through a nullmodem serial cable. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Power LED is on. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in. 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 when a second PSU module is installed. Two installed PSU modules operate in a load-sharing mode and provide 1+1 redundancy. AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...

Chapter 3 • Installation b. Adapter connector for DC source connection 1. Attach the connector directly into the DC socket of a PSU located at the back of the switch. -48V_RTN (+DC) -48V(-DC) (Figure 3-9: Assembling a DC Connector and Power Wires) 2.
Chapter 4: Making the Network Connections The AG7648 switch is designed to provide high-speed, lossless Ethernet connections between server racks through its 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP 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)
Chapter 4 • Making the Network Connections Fiber Optic Connections Optional 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP transceivers can be used for fiber connections from the switch to other network devices in the data center. An SFP+ or QSFP transceiver may also be used for long distance connections to devices at another site.
• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions • Electrical surge suppression • Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring • Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields AG7648 ToR/leaf Switch...
