Mounting the switch on a workbench IMPORTANT: • Reserve a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation. • Do not place heavy objects on the switch. To mount the switch on a workbench: Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded. Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.

Power supply model Installation method PSR920-54A-B PSR1600-54A-B Installing/removing a power supply (1) This section applies to the CA-70A12, PSR75-12A, and PSR150-D1 power supplies, which use a similar installation/removal procedure. A PSR75-12A power supply is used as an example. Installing a power supply Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Figure 11 Installing a power supply Removing a power supply Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Disconnect the power cord. Loosen the captive screws on the power supply with a Phillips screwdriver until they are completely disengaged.

Remove the filler panel, if any, from the target power supply slot. Put your forefinger into the hole in the filler panel and then pull the filler panel out of the slot gently. Keep the removed filler panel secure for future use. Figure 13 Removing the filler panel from the target power supply slot Unpack the power supply.

Connecting the power cord CAUTION: • CA-70A12 and PSR75-12A power supplies use C13 power cords, and PSR180-56A, PSR360-56A, PSR720-56A, PSR1110-56A, PSR600-54A-B, PSR920-54A-B, and PSR1600-54A-B power supplies use C15 power cords (used in high temperature). Do not mix power cords for different power supplies. •...
Figure 17 Connecting the power cord for a built-in power supply(1) Figure 18 Connecting the power cord for a built-in power supply(2) Connecting the power cord for a CA-70A12 or PSR75-12A power supply The power cord connection procedure is similar for the CA-70A12 and PSR75-12A power supplies. The following procedure connects the power cord for a PSR75-12A power supply.
• To use a –48 VDC power source to supply power to the power supply, use the DC power cord supplied with the power supply. • To use an Intelbras RPS (–54 VDC) to supply power to the power supply, use a compatible RPS power cord to connect the RPS to the power supply.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Unpack the power cord, correctly orient the plug at one end of the cable with the power receptacle on the power supply, and insert the plug into the power receptacle (see callout 1 in Figure 21).

Accessing the switch for the first time Connecting the switch to a configuration terminal The SC 3170 series switches each provide a serial console for connecting to a configuration terminal. Figure 23, the switch is connected to a configuration terminal (PC as an example) from the serial console port.
A DB9-to-RJ45 console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to the serial console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port on the console terminal.

Starting the switch Pre-start checklist Before powering on the switch, verify the following items: • The power cord is correctly connected. • The input power voltage is as required by the switch. • The console cable is correctly connected. • The PC has started, and the terminal parameters have been correctly configured.
Setting up an IRF fabric (Stacking) You can use Intelbras IRF technology to connect and virtualize SC 3170 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. A SC 3170 switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series.
Step Description • Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches • Planning the cabling scheme "Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack" or "Mounting the switch Install IRF member switches on a workbench." Connect grounding cables and "Grounding the switch"...
Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
SFP port—GE SFP fiber transceiver module and optical fiber, GE SFP copper transceiver module and twisted pair cable or GE SFP cable. For the available transceiver models and cables, see ports in Intelbras SC 3170 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. •...
Page 35
The following subsections describe several Intelbras recommended IRF connection schemes by using SFP+ cables and SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers. All these schemes use a ring topology. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on different sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable.
Connecting the IRF member switches in a ToR solution You can install IRF member switches in different racks side by side to deploy a top of rack (ToR) solution. Figure 30 ToR cabling Configuring basic IRF settings After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member switch to configure their member IDs, member priorities, and IRF port bindings.
