Quick Start Guide

– 2 –

Ground the Switch

1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with

ETSI ETS 300 253. Verify that there is a good electrical

connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or

isolating surface treatment).

2. Attach the grounding wire (#6 AWG) to the grounding point on

the switch’s rear panel. Then connect the other end of the wire to

rack ground.

Install Line Cards and Transceivers

1. Install up to eight ACO, DCO, or QSFP28 line cards (ordered

separately) in the line-card slots.

2. Install appropriate transceivers in the line card transceiver slots:

■

Install only ACO CFP2 transceivers in the ACO line cards.

■

Install only DCO CFP2 transceivers in the DCO line cards

■

Install 100G QSFP28 transceivers in the QSFP28 line

cards.

Connect Power

1. Install one or two AC PSUs in the switch.

The switch supports up to two PSUs that must have the same

matching airflow direction as the installed fan trays.

2. Connect an external AC power source to the PSUs.

Verify Switch is Operating Normally

1. Verify basic switch operation by checking the system LEDs.

When operating normally, the PSU1/PSU2, Diag, and Fan LEDs

should all be on green.

Perform Initial System Boot

1. If the network operating system (NOS) installer is located on a

network server, first connect the RJ-45 Management (Mgmt) port

to the network using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or better twisted-

pair cable. (Not required if the NOS installer is located on

attached storage.)

2. Boot the switch. Wait for the ONIE software to locate and

execute the NOS installer, and then wait for the installer to load

the NOS software image.

Subsequent switch boots will bypass ONIE and directly run the

NOS software.

Caution:

The earth connection must not be removed unless

all supply connections have been disconnected.

Attention:

Le raccordement à la terre ne doit pas être retiré

sauf si toutes les connexions d’alimentation ont été

débranchées.

Caution:

The ACO and QSFP28 line cards are not hot

swappable. These line cards must only be installed with the

system powered off. Only the DCO line card supports a hot-

swap capability. However, the hot-swapping of transceivers

is supported on all line cards.

Attention:

Les linecards ACO et QSFP28 ne sont pas

remplaçables à chaud. Ces linecards ne doivent être

installés que lorsque le système est éteint. Seul le linecard

DCO prend en charge une fonctionnalité de remplacement

à chaud. Toutefois, le remplacement à chaud des

émetteurs-récepteurs est pris en charge sur toutes les

linecards.

Note:

Refer to the network operating system (NOS) installer

and NOS documentation for details on software options

and set up for ONIE.
