  • Page 6: Introduction

    This guide is to assist the reader with the most basic form of installation and cable connection to our switches. As there is more than one switch in the Aurora series, the actual port placement might slightly differ, however, the installation and connection logic are the same for all Netberg switches.

    Hardware Installation 2.3. Rack-mount Safety Precautions For your protection, observe the following rack-mount safety precautions when setting up your equipment: • Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

    Hardware Installation 2.4. Installation into a Rack The switch can be mounted in a standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting tool-less rails. The following section will explain how to install the rack-mount brackets onto the switch and then mount the switch into a standard 1U rack-mount unit. Figure 2.1. Rack dimensions 1.
  • Page 14 Hardware Installation b. After the attachment pins are secured to the inner rail, lock the inner rail to the chassis using two M4 screws (one on each chassis side). See the figure below. Figure 2.3. Mounting point options Two individuals are recommended to install the switch. One individual should position the switch in the rack, while the other secures it using the rack screws.
  • Page 15 Hardware Installation Figure 2.4. Mounting the switch 4. Insert the Chassis to complete the installation. a. Pull the middle rail fully extended into the lock position. An audible click can be heard when the middle rail is fully extended and locked into position. b.

  • Page 16: Power Supply

    Hardware Installation 2.5. Power supply Equipped with two supply modules, the switch can operate with either one or two power supply modules. If the switch uses two power supply modules, you can hot-swap one of the PSU during the operations. One PSU is enough for a fully loaded chassis.
  • Page 17 Hardware Installation Figure 2.7. Inserting the PSU module The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector. The switch automatically adjusts its power setting to any supply voltage in the range from 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.

  • Page 18: Grounding The Switch

    Hardware Installation 2.6. Grounding the Switch This equipment must be grounded. Do not defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment without a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
  • Page 19 Hardware Installation 6. Firmly secure the grounding lug using two provided M4 screws and washers. The chassis ground connection must not be removed unless all power supply connections have been disconnected.

  • Page 20 Hardware Installation The device must be installed in a restricted access location. L’appareil doit être installé dans un emplacement à accès restreint. Il doit comporter une borne de terre de protection distincte sur le châssis, qui doit être connectée en permanence à la terre pour assurer une mise à la terre adéquate du châssis et protéger l’opérateur des risques électriques.

  • Page 21: Connect The Power Cable

    The maximum system power consumption is 1246.6 watts. If only a 110V AC power source is available, the Aurora 830 can still be powered with both PSUs, providing 1000 watts each for a total output of 2000 watts. However, if one PSU stops functioning, the power output would be inefficient in sustaining the switch’s operation.

  • Page 26: Console Port

    Hardware Installation 2.10. 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.
  • Page 27 Hardware Installation • Upgrade the firmware To connect to the console, do the following: 1. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port (|o|o ) of the switch. 2. Connect the RS-232 end to a terminal or PC. 3. Manage the switch using the CLI commands (refer to the CLI User Manual for more information).
