xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual
Mounting the Switch in a Standard 19" Rack
Figure 2- 3. Installing Switch in a rack
Power On
Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source
outlet.
After powering on the Switch, the LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a
reset of the system.
Power Failure
As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in.
The Optional Module
At the rear of the DXS-3326GSR and the DXS-3350SR resides an optional module slot. This slot may be equipped with
the DEM-420X 2-port 10GE XFP uplink module, or a DEM-420CX 2-port 10GBASE-CX4 uplink module, both sold
separately.
Adding the DEM-420X optional module will allow the administrator to add a 2-port fiber-optic uplink module which will
transmit information at a rate of ten gigabits a second. These two ports are compliant with standard IEEE 802.3ae, support
full-duplex transmissions only and are to be used with XFP MSA compliant transceivers.
The DEM-420CX will too transfer information at a rate of ten gigabits a second but the medium is copper, not fiber and
thus is only useful for short connections of up to 15 meters. Compliant with the IEEE802.3ak standard, this module will
use a 4-laned copper connector to transfer information in full-duplex mode, quickly and accurately. User beware, the cable
and connector port used for this module is nearly identical to the stacking ports and cables used for stacking in the xStack
Series, but can in no way be interchangeable.
To install these modules in the DXS-3326GSR and the DXS-3350SR, follow the simple steps listed below.
