UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch.

Unpacking

Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton

should contain the following items:

♦One switch chassis

♦One management module (pre-installed in uppermost slot)

♦One power supply module (pre-installed)

♦One mounting kit：four mounting brackets and screws

♦Four rubber feet with adhesive backing

♦One AC power cord

♦One console cable

♦One printed copy of the quickstart guide

♦One CD-ROM containing this user’s guide

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for

replacement.

Setup

The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:

♦The surface must support at least 5 kg.

♦The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device.

♦Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully to the AC power

connector.

♦Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation

around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch.

Desktop or Shelf Installation

When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the

device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner

of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around

it.

Figure 2-1. Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf

Rack Installation

The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed

in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the

Switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.

Figure 2-2. Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch

Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack.

Installing Modules

The DES-6300 supports up to 6 modules which can be installed into the module bays.

Networking modules are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed

while power to the switch is ON. After warm-swapping a networking module, the switch

will automatically be rebooted. Make sure to use the Save Changes command to save

the current configuration to NV-RAM before warm-swapping modules. The CPU module,

however, is NOT hot-swappable. Removing or inserting the CPU module while the power

is on may cause irreparable damage to the module and/or to the Switch itself. Further,

make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the removable power supply

module before inserting or removing it from the Switch.

CAUTION: Due to the high energy present in this

system, extreme caution should be exercised whenever

adding or removing system components. No element of

this system may be installed or removed except by an

authorized technician.

Figure 2-3. Removing a Blank Slot Cover

Modules can be installed into any free slot, except the CPU module. The CPU module

must be installed in the uppermost (top) slot. To install a module, simply remove a

blank slot cover and slide the module along the guide rails until it snaps firmly in place.

Figure 2–4. Installing a Module

Connecting a Terminal

The DES-6300 can perform basic switching functions without special configuration, but

to use the Switch’s advanced features you must first configure the unit through a

terminal (a VT-100 serial data terminal or a computer running a VT-100 emulator). The

connection is made through the Switch’s Diagnostic RS-232 port, which is configured at

the factory as follows:

♦Baud Rate: 115200

♦Data Bits: 8

♦Parity: none

♦Stop Bits: 1

♦Flow Control: None

The RS-232 port has a nine-socket D-shell connector with IBM-type DCE wiring, and

can be connected to the terminal using an off-the-shelf RS-232 cable with the proper

connectors for the terminal and the DES-6300.

Power on

Power up the DES-6300 as follows:

1. Make sure the power module is properly installed in the device.

2. Plug the device end of the supplied power cord firmly into the power inlet on

the DES-6300’s front panel of the redundant power supply.

3. Plug the outlet end of the power cord firmly into a suitable AC outlet.

4. Observe the DES-6300’s LED indicators to make sure the Switch is operating

correctly.

The DES-6300’s LED indicators operate as follows during a normal power-up:

♦All indicators blink momentarily to indicate a system reset.

♦The Power indicator flashes for about 20 seconds while the switch prepares its run-

time software and performs a self-test.

♦The Power indicator begins shining steadily, and the remaining indicators begin

reflecting port and system status.

Power Failure

As a precaution, the Switch should be unplugged in case of an impending power failure.

When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in.

IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL

COMPONENTS

This chapter describes the front panel, side panels, optional plug-in modules, and LED

indicators of the Switch

Front Panel

The front panel of the Switch consists nine slide-in module slots for networking

modules, two slide-in module slots for power supply modules, an RS-232

communication port, and LED indicators.

Figure 3-1. Front panel view of the Switch

♦Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of

the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).

♦An RS-232 DCE console port is used to diagnose the Switch via a connection to a

terminal (or PC) and Local Console Management.

♦Seven slide-in module slots installing networking modules and the CPU module.

♦Two slide-in module slots for installing power supply modules.

Side Panels

The left side panel of the Switch contains four system fans. The right side panel

contains heat vents.

The system fans are used to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat

vents to serve the same purpose. Do not block these openings, and leave adequate

space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation. Be reminded that

without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might

overheat, which could lead to system failure.
