Installing removable components WARNING! Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. As a best practice, do not stand close to the air outlet vents while the device is operating. If you must be next to the device on the air outlet vent side for an extended period, avoid the air flow or take other protective measures.
Figure1-1 Attaching an ESD wrist strap (1) ESD jack (with an ESD sign) Installing modules IMPORTANT: Before installing a module in the chassis, make sure the connectors on the module are not broken or blocked. Unless otherwise stated, SEUs and interfaces modules are collectively referred to as "modules" in this document.
As shown by callout 4 in Figure1-2, close the ejector lever until the latch locks the ejector lever in place. Figure1-2 Installing an SEU Installing interface modules Removing the protective blank panel The device comes with a protective blank panel installed over the interface module slots to protect the device from damage during shipment.
Page 25
The protective blank panel is heavy. To avoid bodily injury, use both hands to remove it. Keep the removed protective blank panel secure for future use. Figure1-3 Removing the protective blank panel Installing an interface module The ejector levers of the interface modules and the ejector lever pillow blocks have purple marks. To install an interface module: As shown by callout 1 in Figure1-4, orient the interface module with the lettering on it upward.
Page 26
Figure1-4 Installing an interface module Installing a filler panel in an empty interface module slot CAUTION: • If you are not to install an interface module in an interface module slot, keep the filler panel in the slot. • To prevent a filler panel from being drawn into the chassis when fan speed is high, use both hands to grasp the filler panel by its two sides during filler panel installation and removal on an operating device.
Figure1-5 Installing the filler panel in an empty interface module slot Installing cable management brackets CAUTION: To avoid device damage, press the spring tab when you remove a cable management bracket. The cable management brackets are installed on the two sides of the interface module slots. As a best practice, install cable management brackets after you have installed interface modules.
Page 28
To prevent dust from entering the chassis, keep the failed fan tray in position before the replacement. • To install a fan tray in slot FAN1, orient the fan tray with the LED on the left side of the front panel.
Installing power supplies CAUTION: The device comes with a filler panel in each power supply slot. If you are not to install a power supply in a slot, keep the filler panel in the slot. The installation procedure is the same for AC and DC power supplies. The following procedures install an AC power supply.
Connecting the power cord CAUTION: • Power on the device after you have installed fan trays on the device. • Make sure each power cord has a separate circuit breaker. • Turn off the circuit breaker before you connect the power cord. Connecting an AC power cord Connect the female connector of the AC power cord to the AC input receptacle of the power supply.
As a best practice, use a torque of 20 kgf-cm (1.96 Nm) to fasten the M5 screws. Connect the other end of the power cord to a DC power source. Figure1-10 Connecting a DC power cord Installing transceiver modules CAUTION: To prevent particles from entering the QSFP+/QSFP28 ports, install the dust plugs that come with the interface modules in the ports if you are not to install transceiver modules or cables in the ports.
Installing a QSFP+/QSFP28 transceiver module CAUTION: • Read the following instructions before you install an QSFP+/QSFP28 transceiver module. Failure to follow these instructions might cause damage to the module. • Do not remove the dust plug from the QSFP+/QSFP28 transceiver module if you are not to connect an optical fiber to the module.

Replacement procedures CAUTION: • When replacing removable components while the device is operating, ensure electrical safety. • Follow the replacement procedures strictly to avoid bodily injury and device damage. • Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. To avoid this hazard, do not stand close to the air outlet vents while the device is operating.
Holding the power supply handle with one hand and supporting the power supply bottom with another, pull the power supply slowly out of the slot. Place the removed power supply on the antistatic mat. Install a new power supply. For information about the power supply installation procedure, see "Installing power supplies."...
Figure1-4 Removing an SEU Replacing an interface module Prepare an antistatic mat to place the removed interface module. Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. For more information, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap." As shown by callout 1 in Figure1-5, loosen the captive screws on the interface module As shown by callout 2 in Figure1-5, open the ejector levers fully.
Replacing a fan tray WARNING! • To avoid bodily injury, do not touch the spinning fans when you replace the fan tray. • When you hot swap a fan tray, the fan rotation speed of the remaining fan trays automatically increases and the fan trays make louder noise.
Replacing a QSFP+/QSFP28 transceiver module Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. For more information, see "Attaching an ESD wrist strap." Remove the optical fiber from the module. Pivot the clasp of the module up. For a module that uses a plastic pull latch, skip this step.

Ethernet twisted pair cable An Ethernet twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of insulated wires twisted together. It mainly transmits analog signals and is advantageous in transmitting data over shorter distances. The maximum transmission distance is 100 m (328.08 ft). RJ-45 connector An Ethernet twisted pair cable connects network devices through the RJ-45 connectors at the two ends.
Page 72
NOTE: Connect 10-Gigabit RJ-45 ports on the device by using category 6A or category 7 twisted pair cables. Connect other RJ-45 ports on the device by using category 5 or above twisted pair cables. Based on pinouts Ethernet twisted pair cables can be classified into straight through and crossover cables based on their pinouts.
Figure1-4 Crossover cable white/orange orange white/green blue white/blue green white/brown brown Crossover cable white/green green white/orange blue white/blue orange white/brown brown Pin assignments Select an Ethernet twisted pair cable according to the RJ-45 Ethernet interface type on your device. An RJ-45 Ethernet interface can be MDI (for routers and PCs) or MDIX (for devices). For the pinouts of RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, see Table1-3 and Table1-4.
Ethernet cable. A straight-through cable connects devices of different types. An RJ-45 Ethernet interface with MDI/MDIX autosensing enabled can automatically negotiate pin roles. The S12500R-2L RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces support MDI/MDIX. By default, MDI/MDIX is enabled on a port. Making an Ethernet twisted pair cable Cut the cable to length with the crimping pliers.
• Single mode fiber—It has a core size of 10 µm or smaller, and has a lower modal dispersion. It carries only a single ray of light. It is mostly used for communication over longer distances. • Multi-mode fiber—It has a core size of 50 µm or 62.5 µm or higher, and has a higher modal dispersion than single-mode optical fiber.
Figure1-5 MPO connector Figure1-6 LC connector Precautions • Make sure the fiber connector and fiber type match the transceiver module type. • The fiber ports on the device are provided with dust plugs. Insert the dust plugs into the fiber ports that you are not to use, to prevent particles from entering the ports.
