AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide All Countries: Install product in accordance with local and National Electrical Codes. E8 Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Chapter 2: Installation Selecting a Site for the Switch Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your switch: 24 If you plan to install the switch in an equipment rack, verify that the rack is safely secured and will not tip over. Devices in a rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices near the bottom of the rack. If you are installing the switch on a table, verify that the table is level and secure.

AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Installing the Switch on a Table or a Desktop You can install AT-x210-16GT and AT-x210-24GT switches on a desktop, or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. To install AT-x210-16GT and ATx210-24GT switches in a rack, see “Installing the Switch in an Equipment Rack” on page 28. The AT-x210-9GT is rack mountable using an optional AT-x210-9GT rack mount kit (Part Number: 990-003904-00).
Chapter 2: Installation Installing the Switch in an Equipment Rack Note: These instructions show you how to install an AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT or AT-x210-24GT switch in an equipment rack. Rack mount kit brackets are included with AT-x210-16GT and AT-x210-24GT switches. The AT-x210-9GT switch is installed in a rack with the optional AT-x210-9GT rack mount kit (Part Number 990-003904-00). To install AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT or AT-x210-24GT switches in a 19-inch equipment rack, follow these steps: 1.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide 4. Mount an AT-x210-24GT switch in a 19-inch equipment rack using four equipment rack screws (not provided with the switch).
Chapter 2: Installation 5. For AT-x210-16GT Switches, attach the two rack mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the bracket screws that come with the unit. See the bracket position as shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide 6. Mount an AT-x210-16GT switch in a 19-inch equipment rack using the provided spacer bracket mounts with four equipment rack screws (not provided with the switch), as shown in Figure 20.
Chapter 2: Installation 7. For AT-x210-9GT switches, first fit the rack mount handles to the brackets using the supplied M3x6mm pan head screws, as shown below in Figure 21. Figure 21. Fitting rack mount handles to the brackets for an AT-x210-9GT 8.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide 9. Next attach the cable tray brackets for AT-x210-9GT switches, as shown below in Figure 23. Figure 23. Attaching cable tray brackets for an AT-x210-9GT 10. Mount an AT-x210-9GT switch in a 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below in Figure 24, using the screws from the rubber feet after removing these screws, as shown earlier in Figure 15.
Chapter 2: Installation 11. Mount an AT-x210-9GT switch in a 19-inch equipment rack using the provided spacer bracket mounts with four equipment rack screws, as shown in Figure 25.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Installing Optional SFP Transceivers To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure: Note The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the cables before removing the transceiver. Note You should always install the transceiver before connecting the fiber optic cables to it. 1.
Chapter 2: Installation 4. For an AT-x210-24GT Switch, gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 28. R R 1981 Figure 28. Inserting the SFP on an AT-x210-24GT 5. For an AT-x210-16GT Switch, gently slide the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 29. 15R AT-x210 -1 Gigabit Ethernet 6GT Switch SFP 15 15 16 16 16R L/A LINK / ACT CLASS 1 LASER PRO DUCT Figure 29.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide 6. Verify that the handle on the transceiver is in the upright position, as shown in Figure 30. This secures the transceiver and prevents it from being dislodged from the slot. R R SFP Transceiver Handle 1983 Figure 30. Positioning the SFP Handle in the Upright Position 7. Eject SFP transceivers, as shown in Figure 31. First lower the SFP Transceiver Handle, then gently remove the SFP Transceiver.
Chapter 2: Installation Note SFP transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when storing the SFP. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future use. Note Unnecessary removal and insertion of an SFP can lead to premature failure. For information on the cable specifications of the SFP, consult the documentation shipped with the SFP. 9. Go to “Cabling the Switch” on page 39.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Cabling the Switch Observe the following guidelines when connecting twisted pair and fiber optic cables to the ports on the switch: The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place. Because the twisted pair ports have auto-MDI/MDI-X, you may use straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to the switch.
Chapter 2: Installation 40 The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation. The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for ports connected to 10/100Base-TX network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have fixed speeds.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Powering On the Switch To power on the AT-x210-24GT, AT-x210-16GT, or AT-x210-9GT switch, perform the following procedure: 1. Plug the power cord into the AC power connector, as shown in Figure 32 on the back of an AT-x210-16GT Switch. Power cable hook Power cable hook mount Figure 32. Lifting the AC Power Cable Hook on an AT-x210-16GT Switch 2.
Chapter 2: Installation Warning Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power cord. E3 Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. E5 4. Verify that the POWER LED is green. If the LED is OFF, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting” on page 47. The switch is now powered on and ready for network operations.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Monitoring the Initialization Processes It takes about thirty seconds for the switch to initialize its management software programs and features, and load the default configuration. You may also monitor the bootup sequence by connecting a terminal or computer that has a terminal emulator program, to the Console port on the master switch. You will see the messages in Figure 34 here to Figure 36 on page 45. Bootloader 2.0.

AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The POWER LED on the front of the switch is off. Solutions: The unit is not receiving power.
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting cable: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5 and Category 5E for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation. Note A 1000Base connection may require five to ten seconds to establish a link. Problem 3: The LINK/ACT LED for an SFP transceiver is off. Solutions: The fiber optic port on the transceiver is unable to establish a link to a network device. Try the following: Verify that the network device connected to the fiber optic port is operating properly.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide Problem 5: A port’s LINK/ACT LED is blinking. Solutions: The link between the port and the network device is intermittent. Try the following: Connect another network device with a different cable to the port. If the Link LED remains steady on, then the problem is with the original cable or the network device. If the problem is with an SFP transceiver, check that the transceiver is fully inserted in the slot.
