2 Preparing for Installation Safety Precautions Before you install or remove any components from the Switch or carry out any maintenance procedures, you must read the 3Com Switch Family Safety and Regulatory Information document enclosed with your switch. To avoid damage to human body and devices, please read the following safety recommendations carefully before installing the Switch 4210G. The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
Temperature/Humidity You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is two low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device.
z Keep the device far from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. z Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary, for example, use shielded interface cables. z Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes. Laser Safety The Switch 4210G are Class 1 laser devices.
3 Installing the Switch When you ask your sales agent to maintain the switch, you must ensure that the dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the 3Com switch chassis is intact. If you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulted from your actions without permission.
The Switch 4210G (excluding Switch 4210G NT 24-Port and Switch 4210G NT 48-Port) support IRF. For details about implementation of the IRF system and installation procedures, refer to Installation Flow for an IRF. Installing the Switch into a 19-Inch Rack Using Mounting Brackets The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth and width of the switch. For the specific installation methods, see Table 3-1.
Figure 3-3 Appearance of a rear mounting bracket (1) Screw hole used to fix the mounting bracket to the cabinet (Use one M6 screw) For the selection of front and rear mounting brackets, see Table 3-2.

Therefore, switches are often placed on clean workbenches.
Connecting the Grounding Cable z Correctly connecting the chassis grounding cable is crucial to the lightning protection and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of a switch. z The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only. The power input end of the switch is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the so-called chassis ground (commonly known as PGND).
Step1 Cut the PGND cable to a proper length according to the distance between the switch and the grounding strip. Step2 Peel 5 mm (0.20 in.) of insulation sheath using a wire stripper, and then insert the naked metal part through the black insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. Step3 Secure the metal part of the cable to the OT terminal with a crimper, and then cover it with the insulation covering.
Figure 3-13 Ground the switch by burying the grounding conductor into the earth (1) Grounding screw (4) Joint (2) PGND cable (5) Grounding conductor (3) Earth (6) Switch rear panel In Other Installation Sites For an AC-powered switch, if neither of the above-mentioned two conditions is available, ground the switch through the PE wire of the AC power supply.
Connecting the Power Cords Make sure that the ground wire has been properly connected before powering on the switch.
Figure 3-16 Connect an AC power cord to a horizontal AC power socket (2) Figure 3-17 Connect an AC power cord to a vertical AC power socket (1) Figure 3-18 Connect an AC power cord to a vertical AC power socket (2) Connecting the RPS Power Cord Connect RPS power cords of the Switch 4210G (excluding Switch 4210G PWR 24-Port and Switch 4210G PWR 48-Port) The Switch 4210G 24-Port, Switch 4210G 48-Port, Switch 4210G NT 24-Port, and Switch 4210G NT 48-Port can work with RPS500-A3 using its +12 V/10.
Figure 3-19 Connect an RPS power cord (1) Step3 Keep the upside of the +12 VDC RPS plug on top and plug it in the RPS DC receptacle (see callout 1 in Figure 3-20). (If you plug it with the upside down, the insertion is not smooth because of the specific structure design of the RPS DC receptacle and the RPS plug.) Step4 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to fix the two screws on the RPS plug clockwise to secure the plug to the RPS DC receptacle (see callout 2 in Figure 3-20).
Figure 3-21 Connect an RPS power cord to the Switch 4210G PWR 24-Port and Switch 4210G PWR 48-Port Step4 Connect the other end of the RPS DC power cord to the external RPS power supply system. Step5 Check whether the RPS LED on the front panel of the switch is ON. If the LED is ON, it shows the power cord is properly connected.
Figure 3-23 Install an interface module (2) z Keep the removed filler panel properly for future use. z When tightening the fastening screws at both sides of the optional module with a screwdriver or an electric screwdriver, make sure that the torque is not bigger than 0.4 N-m. Removing an Interface Module Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
The installation and removal of dedicated CX4 cables and SFP+ cables are similar. This section describes the installation and removal of the dedicated CX4 cable for illustration. Make sure that you have installed a CX4/SFP+ interface module before installing CX4/SFP+ cables. Step1 Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify the ESD-preventive wrist strap properly grounded. Then take out the dedicated CX4 cable from the package.
Installation Flow for an IRF Figure 3-24 Installation flow for an IRF Table 3-4 Description of the installation flow for an IRF of switches No Task Remarks Take the following into consideration: 1 Draw a plan for an IRF with switches z z z z Number of IRF members and the bandwidth Interface modules and cables Physical connection mode( daisy chain connection or ring connection) Cable connection For details, see Drawing a Plan for an IRF with Switches.
No Task Remarks 4 Power on the IRF members — 5 Install interface modules For details, see Installing an Interface Module. 6 Configure software for the IRF members For details about the IRF function, see IRF Configuration in the System Volume of the 3Com Switch 4210G Family Configuration Guide.
Configure the physical connection mode IRF supports two physical connection modes: daisy chain connection and ring connection. A ring connection is more reliable than a daisy chain connection. The failure of one link in a ring connection does not affect the function and performance of the IRF, whereas the failure of one link in a daisy chain connection causes the split of the IRF.
z When 2-port interface modules are used to constitute an IRF of switches and the ports are not assigned to any aggregation group, ports of the interface module in slot 1 (MOD 1) can be connected to ports of MOD 1 or MOD 2. However, the left port can be connected to only the right port of another interface module, that is, two ports at the same side cannot be connected, as shown in Figure 3-27.
Figure 3-29 Cable connections for an IRF with 1-port interface modules Verifying the Installation z Check whether the selected power is the same as the power label on the switch; z Check whether the ground wire is connected; z Check whether the power cords are connected correctly; z Check whether all the interface cables are routed indoors. If there are cables outdoors, check that the socket strip with lightning protection and lightning arresters for network ports have been correctly connected.
