Grounding the switch with a grounding strip CAUTION: • Connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod. • To guarantee the grounding effect and avoid switch damage, use the grounding cable provided with the switch to connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room.

Installing and removing a fan tray CAUTION: • You can power on the switch only when the switch is fully configured with fan trays of the same model. • Do not leave any slots empty when the switch is operating. Install a module or filler panel in the slots.
Figure2-15 Installing a fan tray IMPORTANT: • In other versions, the switch does not check the preferred airflow direction at system start. You only need to ensure consistent airflow directions of all fan trays on the switch. If the airflow directions of the fan trays are inconsistent, the system outputs traps and logs.
Installing and removing a power supply The switch provides two power supply slots. It comes with power supply slot PWR1 empty and power supply slot PWR2 installed with a filler panel. You can install one or two power supplies for the switch as required.
Figure2-19 Removing the filler panel from the target power supply slot Unpack the power supply. Make sure the power supply model is as required. Keep the packaging box and packaging bag for the power supply secure for future use. Correctly orient the power supply. Make sure the lettering on the power supply is upward. Align the power supply with the power supply slot.
Page 27
Figure2-21 Removing the filler panel Unpack the power supply and verify that the power supply model is correct. Correctly orient the power supply with the power supply slot (use the letters on the power supply faceplate for orientation), grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot (see callout 1 in Figure2-22).
To remove a PSR250-12A1 power supply: Wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Disconnect the power cord. Press the latch on the power supply towards the handle side, and pull the power supply part way out of the slot along the guide rails.

Accessing the switch for the first time Connecting the switch to a configuration terminal The SC 5525-24X-2QE, SC 5525-48X-2QE, SC 5525-24X-2HE, and SC 5525-48X-2HE switches each provide a serial console port and a micro USB console port for connecting to a configuration terminal.
The signal pinout for the RJ-45 connector of a serial console cable varies by vendor. To avoid abnormal configuration terminal display, use a serial console cable provided by Intelbras. For more information, see Table3-2. To prepare a serial console cable yourself, make sure the signal pinout for the RJ-45 connector is the same as that shown inTable3-3.
Table3-3 DB9-to-RJ45 console cable signal pinout RJ-45 Signal DB-9 Signal To connect the switch to a configuration terminal (for example, a PC) through a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable: Plug the DB-9 female connector of the DB9-to-RJ45 console cable to the serial port on the PC. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the serial console port on the switch.

Setting up an IRF fabric (Stacking) You can use Intelbras IRF technology to connect and virtualize SC 5525 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. A SC 5525 switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series.
To set up an IRF fabric: Step Description Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters: • Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site • Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs Plan IRF fabric setup •...
Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs Determine which switch you want to use as the master for managing all member switches in the IRF fabric. An IRF fabric has only one master switch. You configure and manage all member switches in the IRF fabric at the CLI of the master switch.

For a long-distance IRF connection, use SFP+/QSFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 transceiver modules and optical fibers. 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.
Wear an ESD wrist strap when you connect twisted pair/SFP+/QSFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 cables or SFP+/QSFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 transceiver modules and fibers. For how to connect them, see Intelbras Transceiver Modules and Network Cables Installation Guide. Verifying the IRF fabric setup To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric after you finish configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports: Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
