SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
The ZX-IOM-29-4, ZX-IOM-29-4-IR, ZX-IOM-29-4 -LR, ZX-IOM-39-1 and ZX-IOM-39-1-LR connectors use Class
1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating one of these modu les.
The Class 1 Laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop
eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user
adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
U 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
U IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
U CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission
limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power
exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6dBm or 55x10
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver a llows laser r adiation to emit d irectly f rom the o ptical po rt. Th e
maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases
eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, you must remove power from the network adapter.

FIBER OPTIC PROTECTIVE CAPS
%"¤›apm READ BEFORE REMOVING FIBER OPTIC PROTECTIVE CAPS.
Cable assemblies and MMF/SMF ports are shipped with protective caps to prevent contamination. To avoid
contamination, replace port caps on all fiber optic devices when not in use.
Cable assemblies and MMF/SMF ports that become contaminated may experience signal loss or difficulty inserting
and removing cable assemblies from MMF/SMF ports.
Contamination can be removed from cable assemblies by:
U Blowing surfaces with canned duster (Chemtronics p/n ES1270 or equivalent).
U Using a fiber port cleaning swab (Alcoa Fujikura LTS p/n ACT-01 or equivalent) saturated with
optical-grade isopropyl alcohol, gently wipe the end surface of ferrules first; then wipe down the
sides of both ferrules.
U Blow ferrule surfaces dry with canned duster.
Contamination can be removed from MMF/SMF ports by:
U Using the extension tube supplied with canned duster, blow into the optical port, being careful not
to allow the extension tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.
U Reconnect cable and check f or proper mating. If problems remain, gen tly wipe out optical port with
a DRY fiber port cleaning swab and repeat step 1.
>"•mamV T o avoid contamination, replace port cap s on all fiber optic dev ices when not
in use.

2.3 INSPECTING THE SWITCH
Depending on the configurati on order ed, y our swi tch look s si milar t o the drawin g in F igur e 2-1. You may have fewer
I/O modules than displayed in the drawing, in which case the missing modules are replaced by metal blanks.
Inspect the switch and make certain that its configuration corresponds to what was ordered. Check the following:
— Correct model number on the SmartCell ZX-250 switch sticker. On the ZX-250, the sticker is on the back. On
the ZX-250r, the sticker is on the bottom.
— Voltage rating on the power sticker.
— Input/Output (I/O) modules are of the correct type and quantity. Check the ID numbers on the I/O module
faceplates (see Table 2-1).
2p›F All Single-Mode fiber connectors on I/O modules are blue.

2.3.1 DS3 and E3 I/O Module Configuration
Table 2-2 shows the pre-configured values for both the DS3 (ZX-IOM-67-4) and E3 (ZX-IOM-77-4) I/O modules.
These values cannot be changed. Accordingly, configure the connecting device’s interface to use these values.

2.4 INSTALLING THE SWITCH
SmartCell ZX-250 switches are designed to operate eith er while sitting on a desktop on their rubber feet or while
mounted in a rack by side-panel mounting brackets.
2.4.1 Desktop Installation
ZX-250 switches can be installed on any clean, dry , stable surface (desktop) that allows for at least four inches of clear
space on both sides of the switch:
U ZX-250 — 17.5 inches wide by 14.5 inches deep
U ZX-250r — 17.5 inches wide by 20.5 inches deep
2p›F Because the ZX-250r power supply modules install from the back of the switch,
you may want to select a surface that provides sufficient room to remove and
install the power supply modules.

s• Place the switch on the desktop so that it rests on its rubber feet. Do not place other objects closer
than four inches from the sides of the switch. This clear space must be maintained to insure proper
air flow.
%"¤›apm Do not place the ZX-250 switch on its side. Doing so will impede airflow,
resulting in equipment overheating and eventual loss of operation or component
damage.
¢• Check the power label on the back of the switch to make sure that the required line voltage
corresponds to the line voltage you are using.
2p›F The ZX-250r (redundant power supply model) performs power sensing,
automatically configuring itself for the applied line voltage (115V or 230V).
•• Insert the supplied power cord into the 3-prong power plug receptacle on the back of the switch.

SmartCell ZX-250 User Guide 2-5
Installing the Switch Switch Installation and Setup
%"¤›apm The SmartCell ZX-250 switch must be attached to a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Ensure that the outlet has a proper safety ground. Do not defeat the safety
ground by using a 2-prong adapter or extension cord. Doing so voids the new
product warranty.
2p›F For information on power consumption, see Appendix B, “Specifications.”
This desktop installation is complete. Proceed to the “Switch Configuration” section.
2.4.2 Rack Installation for ZX-250
Y ou can i nstall the Smart Cell ZX-250 in a standard 19-inc h mounting r ack by using the prov ided side-moun t brackets.
Each switch occupies 4.5 inches of rack space or b etween two and three “rack mounting units.” This installation results
in an air gap of approximately 0.5 inches vertically between switches. There must be an air gap of at least four (4)
inches on either side of the rack for proper air flow to the cooling fans. (the ZX-250 chassis are 17.5 inches wide by
14.5 inches deep.)
s• With the ZX-250 switch resting on a flat surface, use a Phillips screwdriver to mount the brackets
on both sides of the front of the switch (see Figure 2-5). Use two (2) #8-32 x 0.38 flat-head screws
to attach each bracket to the side of the chassis.

2.4.3 Rack Installation for ZX-250r
You can install the SmartCell ZX-250r s wit ch i n a st an dard 19- inch mounting rack by using t he pr ovi ded side-mount
brackets. Each switch occupies 4.5 inches of rack space or between two and three “rack mounting units.” This
installation results in an air gap of approximately 0.5 inches vertically between switches. There must be an air gap of
at least four (4) inches on either side of the rack for proper air flow to the cooling fans. (ZX-250r chassis are 17.5 inches
wide by 20.5 inches deep.)
>"•mamV If you perform the following procedure with the SmartCell ZX-250r power
supplies installed, make certain that the they are locked in place.
NEVER lift or move the SmartCell ZX-250r by its power supply handles.
s• With the SmartCell ZX-250r switch resting on a flat surface, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
two (2) #6-32 screws from each side of the switch chassis (see Figure 2-7). These screws are
replaced by screws included with the SmartCell ZX-250r rack mount components.
¢• Mount the brackets on both sides of the front of the switch (see Figure 2-7). Attach each bracket to
the side of the chassis using two (2) #8- 32 x 0.38 flat-head screws and t wo (2) #6-32 x 0.38 flat-head
screws.

s• Configure a dumb terminals or PCs runn ing emulation software to use the followin g communication
parameters:
† Baud rate = 9600
† Data bits = 8
† Stop bits = 1
† Parity = none
† Flow Control = none
¢• Plug one end of the supplied RJ-45 UTP cable into the 9-pin COM port RJ-45 adapter.
2p›F For information about adapter wiring configurations, see Appendix B,
