Chapter 5: Making Network Connections How to Install a QSFP+ Transceiver The switch provides slots for optional QSFP+ transceivers. The supported transceiver types are listed below: • 40 Gbps Ethernet QSFP+ transceivers • 40GBASE-CR4 • 40GBASE-SR4 NOTE: QSFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.
SSE-X3348T/ SSE-X3348TR Switch Installation Manual How to Connect to Twisted-Pair Copper Ports The RJ-45 management port on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
Chapter 5: Making Network Connections 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments All 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
SSE-X3348T/ SSE-X3348TR Switch Installation Manual 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, servers, or switches. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected.
Chapter 5: Making Network Connections Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between switches and end devices. Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect cables to 10GBASE-T or 1000BASE-T RJ-45 twisted-pair copper ports. Connecting Cables to 10GBASE-T or 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Twisted-pair Copper Ports 1.
SSE-X3348T/ SSE-X3348TR Switch Installation Manual How to Connect to QSFP+ Fiber Optic Ports The switch includes four slots for 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ fiber-optic transceivers. Note that 40G fiber optic ports can provide either one 40-Gbps full-duplex link, four independent 10G fiber optic links. Connecting a 40G QSFP+ port to four 10G SFP+ ports requires the use of a breakout cable.
Chapter 5: Making Network Connections Figure 5-5. Making a Connection to an QSFP+ Transceiver QSFP+ Transceiver Port QSFP+ Fiber Optic Cable 4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch to be sure that the connection is valid. NOTE: Be sure to secure cables properly and route them away from the switch without exceeding the minimum bending radius for fiber cables (typically a few inches).

Chapter 7 Switch Management The SSE-X3348T/SSE-X3348TR switch includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web browser, or SNMP-based network management software.
Chapter 7: Switch Management How to Connect to the Console Port The DB-9 Console port (Figure 7-2) on the switch’s rear panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Page 68
4. Log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using default settings: • User — ADMIN • Password — ADMIN For a detailed description of connecting to the console and using the switch’s command line interface (CLI), refer to the Supermicro Switch CLI Reference Guide.
Chapter 7: Switch Management How to Reset the Switch The Reset button (Figure 7-4) on the switch can be used to restart the device and set the configuration back to factory default values. Use a long thin object, such as the end of a paperclip, to depress the Reset button. One push of the button restarts the system software using default values.
For more information on connecting to the console port and using the CLI, refer to the Supermicro Switch CLI Reference Guide. Note a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be rectified or worked around.
Chapter 8: Troubleshooting Installation Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
