Extreme Networks Plaform 3160C Quick Installation

Extreme Networks
Universal Compute
Platform Appliance 3160C
The 3160C appliance is an Universal Compute Plat-
form cloud-based network appliance for large de-
ployments, such as businesses, clinics or schools.
It fits a 19-inch rack and features four data ports,
and four USB ports, and two Inter-Cluster-Connect
ports. For a complete installation and specifica-
tions guide, see Extreme Networks Universal Com-
pute Platform Appliance 3160C Installation Guide.
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should
perform installation procedures.
Note: Wear an anti-static wrist strap when you han-
dle the appliance so you don't damage the device
or the components.
Box Contents
Confirm that the following items shipped with your
3160C before you begin the installation:
• One (1) 3160C appliance
• Two (2) pre-installed redundant power supply
units
• One (1) rail mount kit
• One (1) 3160C Regulatory and Compliance
guide
• Four (4) rubber feet
• One (1) bag of rail mount screws
Contact your dealer if any items are damaged.
Mount the Appliance
You can mount the appliance in a 19-inch rack us-
ing the rail mount kit included with the 3160C.
You can also mount the appliance on a tabletop or
shelf. Ensure at least 2.5 in (6 cm.) of clearance on
all sides of the unit for proper ventilation.
Replace a Power Supply Unit
The appliance ships with two power supply units (PSU)
installed in the unit. But you can replace a PSU should a
unit fail while under warranty. Contact the GTAC organi-
zation to arrange a replacement unit.
With two power supply units installed, the power load
is distributed across both power supplies to maximize
P/N 9039101-00 Rev AA
efficiency.
When you remove one unit with the system powered
On, the power load is picked up by the other PSU.
To replace a PSU:
1. Detach the power supply cord from the PSU.
2. Grasp the PSU handle and pull.
3. As you pull the PSU, push the latching tab outward
to disengage the PSU.
4. Insert the new PSU unit into the PSU bay.
5. Push the new PSU until it locks in place. It slides
easily into the opening, but there is some resistance
about the last 1/2 inch.
6. Re-connect the power supply cord.
7. The power supply unit LED should be green.
Note: The appliance requires one power supply to
operate normally. Remove and replace only one
power supply at a time in a system that is powered
On.
Connect a Power Supply
The power source is located in the back panel of
the appliance and the power button is located in
the front control panel.
To connect the appliance to a power source:
1. Connect the two AC power cables to power
supplies 1 and 2.
These two power supplies combine to create an
optional redundant power supply.
2. Plug the other end of the cables into grounded
electrical outlets or to separate power sources
such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
or a power distribution unit (PDU).
3. Power on the appliance.
The power button is on the front control panel.
Configure the Management Interface from the
Console Port
Obtain a laptop with PuTTY, TeraTerm, or another
terminal emulator installed on it. If the laptop does
not support RS232 interface, then obtain a USB to
RS232 converter cable, which connects to the Null
Modem DB9 F-F (Female to Female) cable.
You also need the following information:
• Admin password
• Host attributes settings
• Time settings and DNS settings
• Data plane settings
1. Connect the laptop serial port to the appliance
console port
2. Connect to the serial port connection with a
terminal emulator. Ensure that your serial con-
nection is set properly:
- 115200 baud
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- Parity none
- Flow control none
3. Enter the password in the console session
when prompted. The default user is admin and
the default password is abc123.
4. Enter the following information when prompt-
ed:
- Admin password
- Host attributes settings
- Time settings
- DNS settings
- Data plane settings
5. Type Yes at the end of each session and move
to the next session.
If you type No, the session configuration op-
tions are repeated.
6. Press Enter. The Appliance Post Installation
Configuration Menu opens after the last ses-
sion is applied.
7. Do one of the following:
- Enter A to apply settings and exit.
- Enter a number to repeat the setup.
8. Connect to a port that had management ac-
cess enabled during the CLI Wizard Setup.
9. Open a web browser and enter https://Your_
Mgmt_Ipaddress:5825 into the address bar.
The Universal Compute Platform login screen
opens.
10. Enter admin and the credentials that were cre-
ated when setting up the installation wizard.
Configure the Management Interface from the
Inter-Cluster-Connect Port
You will need a laptop.
You can retain the default IP address from the
Inter-Cluster-Connect (ICC) interface if you do not
connect the appliance to your enterprise network.
If you connect the appliance to your network, fol-
low these steps:
1. Connect a laptop to the appliance's ICC1 port.
2. Configure the Ethernet port of the laptop.
Use a statically assigned unused IP address in
the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet.
3. Enter https://192.168.10.1:5825 into a web
browser address bar.
192.168.10.1 is the default IP address on the ap-
pliance ICC1 port.
The Universal Compute Platform Login screen
opens.
4. Log on to Universal Compute Platform.
The default user name is admin and the de-
fault password is abc123.
5. Complete the installation to configure the ap-
pliance for new deployments.
6. Disconnect your laptop from the appliance.
7. Connect the appliance ICC port to the enter-
prise Ethernet LAN.
8. Log on to Universal Compute Platform.
Install a Transceiver
Data ports 3 and 4 are SFP28 ports that can sup-
port 1, 10, and 25Gbps transceivers. Refer to the
transceivers and cables datasheet for a list of plug-
gable transceivers supported for the appliance.
Note: If there is a protective dust cover on the trans-
ceiver connector, do not remove it at this time.
To install a transceiver:
1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist
and remove the transceiver from its packaging.
2. Hold the transceiver so that the connector will
seat properly.
3. Align the transceiver with the port slot.
4. Push the transceiver into the port slot until it
clicks and locks into place.
Connect Cables to Transceiver Ports
Data ports 3 and 4 are SFP28 ports that can sup-
port 1, 10, and 25Gbps transceivers. Refer to the
transceivers and cables datasheet for a list of plug-
gable transceivers supported for the appliance.
To connect cables to transceiver ports:
1. Remove the protective covers from the trans-
ceiver and from the connectors on each end of
the cable.
2. Insert the cable connector into the transceiver
connector until it clicks into place.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appro-
priate port on the other device. Some fiber-op-
tic cables may be terminated at the other end
with two separate connectors, one for each
fiber-optic strand. In this case, ensure that the
transmit fiber-optic strand from the appliance
is connected to the receive port of the other
device, and the receive fiber-optic strand on
the appliance is connected to the transmit port
of the other device.
4. If a transceiver port is unused, install a dust
cover.
Ethernet Ports LED Information
The Inter-Cluster-Connect ports and data ports 1
and 2 include two LEDs located on either side of
the port. For data ports 3 and 4 both LEDs are on
the left side of the port Use the information in the
