Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety When using a fiber optic port, never look at the transmit laser while it is powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable ends when they are powered on. Avertissement : Consignes de sécurité...
Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The AGV424 is the next generation leaf switch for Data Center Networks, as well as for common Enterprise Aggregation network deployments. It leverages the 100G technology (4x25G Serdes) to offers 24-port 25G SFP28 and 4-port 100G QSFP28 in a compact form factor of 1U chassis height and half width. 2.5 times speed upgrade from current 10G leaf switch.
Features The following lists the key main features of AGV424 switch: • 24x 25G SFP28 ports, support 10G/25G speeds and 4x 100G QSFP28 ports, support 10G/25G speed by fanout cable, and also supports 40G QSFP transceiver • 1 x RJ45 OOB management port •...

Chapter 3 • Installation 4. Mount the tray to the rack cabinet. Slide the inner rails on the tray into the middle rails and push the tray all the way to the rear of the rack. Use one M5 rack-mounting screw to fasten the front bracket to the rack cabinet.
Installing an Optional Transceiver and Cable The SFP28 slots support the following optional transceivers and cables: • 25G BASE-SR4 • 10G BASE-SR • 25G BASE-LR4 • 10G BASE-LR • 25G BASE AOC • 10G BASE AOC • 25G BASE DAC •...
Chapter 3 • Installation To install an SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceiver, follow these steps: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP+, SFP28, QSFP or QSFP28 transceiver type. 2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down.
Connecting to a Power Source 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 3-10: Power Socket) 2.
Chapter 4: Making the Network Connections The AGV424 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.
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. WARNING: •...
Chapter 4 • Making the Network Connections 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: •...
