Connecting to the Console Port The console port is used for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to a terminal or PC using the supplied console cable (RJ-45 male to RS-232 female cable) for serial communication.
Hardware Installation Connect the RS-232 end to a terminal or PC. Manage the switch using the CLI commands (refer to the CLI User Manual for more information). The switch uses the following default settings: Baud rate: 115200 Data width: 8 bits ...
Hardware Installation Connecting the Power CAUTION Ensure that the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and be easily accessible. The power cord must have safety ground pin or contact that is suitable for the electrical outlet. The power supply cord(s) must be plugged into socket outlet(s) that is/are provided with a suitable earth ground.
Components Replacement Troubleshooting Below is a list of the common problems that you may encounter when using the switch. Try to solve these problems with the suggested solutions before calling for service. If problems persist, contact customer support. Diagnostic Switch Indicator Problem Solution Power LED is off.
Components Replacement In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Components Replacement Replacing the Fan Tray CAUTION When installing a new fan module, make sure it has the same airflow direction as the fan modules and the power supply. The fan modules can be replaced without the use of special tools. Before replacing any of the fan modules, verify the status of the fan modules to determine if there is a need for replacement.
