•When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered with your system, observe the following guidelines:

•Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.

•Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.

•If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.

•Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also, refer to the rack installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.

•Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

•Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.

•Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

•Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.

•Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

•After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the component into the rack.

•Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

•Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

•Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.

NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local, regional or national codes and practices.

CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

xiv

xStack DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch

CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected. A qualified electrical inspector must inspect completed power and safety ground wiring. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected.

CAUTION: Do not replace the battery with an incorrect type. The risk of explosion exists if the replacement battery is not the correct lithium battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

1.When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

2.When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

3.Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

xStack DGS-3600 Series

The DGS-3600 switch series is a member of the D-Link xStack switch family. xStack is a complete family of stackable devices that ranges from edge 10/100Mbps switches to core Gigabit switches. xStack provides unsurpassed performance, fault tolerance, scalable flexibility, robust security, standard-based interoperability and an impressive support for 10 Gigabit technology to futureproof departmental and enterprise network deployments with an easy migration path.

The following manual describes the installation, maintenance and configurations concerning members of the D-Link DGS-3600 switch series, including the DGS-3612G, DGS-3627, DGS-3627G, and the DGS-3650. These four switches are identical in configurations and very similar in basic hardware and consequentially, most of the information in this manual will be universal to the total group of Switches. Corresponding screen pictures of the web manager may be taken from any one of these switches but the configuration will be identical, except for varying port counts. For the remainder of this document, we will refer to the DGS3600 as the switch in question for examples, configurations and explanations.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company's existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet are essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users using applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your sub networks.

Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC's are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.

In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow's rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies.

Switch Description

The Switch is equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps bandwidth. The DGS-3627 is equipped with twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and the DGS-3650 has forty-eight 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, all of which are Auto MDI-X/MDI-II convertible ports that can be used for uplinking to another switch. The DGS-3612GG is equipped with twelve 100/1000Mbps SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) ports, in addition to four 1000BASE-T located on the front panel. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, hubs, routers, switches and other networking devices. The dual speed ports use standard twisted-pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small, connected sub networks for superior performance. Each 10/100/1000 port can support up to 2000 Mbps of throughput in full-duplex mode. In addition, the Switch has four 1000Mbps SFP combo ports located on the front panel. These gigabit combo ports are ideal for connecting to a server or network backbone.

xStack DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch

The DGS-3627G contains twenty-four 1000Mbps SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) ports, in addition to four 1000BASE-T located on the front panel. The SFP combo ports are to be used with fiber-optical transceiver cabling in order to uplink various other networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances. The SFP ports can also support full-duplex transmissions, have auto-negotiation and can be used with DEM-310GT (1000BASE-LX), DEM-311GT (1000BASE-SX), DEM312GT2 (1000BASE-SX), DEM-314GT (1000BASE-LH), DEM-315GT (1000BASE-ZX), DEM-330T/R (WDM Transceiver) and the DEM-331T/R (WDM Transceiver) transceivers. These ports are referred to as “combo” ports which means that both the SFP ports and the 1000BASE-T ports are numbered the same and cannot be used simultaneously. Attempting to use the ports simultaneously will cause a link down status for the 1000BASE-T ports. SFP ports will always have priority over these 1000BASE-T ports.

Each switch also contains open slots in the rear of the Switch, which are used to add optional single-port 10GE modules. Two available slots reside within the DGS-3650, while the DGS-3627 and DGS-3627G both contain three slots. These modules, the DEM-410CX CX4 and the DEM-410X XFP, are IEEE 802.3ae and IEEE 802.3ak compliant and support full-duplex mode only. More information will be provided on these modules later in this manual.

This Switch enables the network to use some of the most demanding multimedia and imaging applications concurrently with other user applications without creating bottlenecks. The built-in console interface can be used to configure the Switch's settings for priority queuing, VLANs, and port trunk groups, port monitoring, and port speed.

10GE Uplink Modules

At the rear of the xStack DGS-3600 series switches reside optional module slots. This slot may be equipped with the DEM-410X single-port 10GE XFP uplink module, or a DEM-410CX single-port 10GE CX4 uplink module, both sold separately.

Adding the DEM-410X optional module will allow the administrator to add a single-port 10GE stacking module which will transmit information at a rate of ten gigabits a second. This port is compliant with standard IEEE 802.3ae, supports full-duplex transmissions only and is to be used with XFP MSA compliant transceivers.

The DEM-410CX will too transfer information at a rate of ten gigabits a second but is used as an uplink module to a network device. Compliant with the IEEE802.3ak standard, this module will use a 4-laned copper connector to transfer information in fullduplex mode, quickly and accurately. User beware, the cable and connector port used for this module is nearly identical to the stacking ports and cables used for stacking in the xStack Series, but can in no way be interchangeable.

To install these modules, follow the simple steps listed below.

CAUTION: Before adding the optional module, make sure to disconnect all power sources connected to the Switch. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock, which may cause damage, not only to the individual but to the Switch as well.

At the back of the Switch to the left is the slot for the optional module, as shown in Figure 1-15 and Figure 1-16. This slot should be covered with a faceplate that can be easily removed by loosening the screws and pulling off the plate.

Optional Module Slots

•Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

•Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

•Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

•When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from scratching other surfaces.

Mounting the Switch in a Standard 19" Rack

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack. After installing components in a rack, do not pull more than one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in injury.

Power on AC Power

Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet.

After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a reset of the system.

Power Failure

For AC power supply units, as a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power has resumed, plug the Switch back in.

RPS Installation

Follow the instructions below to connect an RPS power supply to the Switch (DPS-500). The DPS-500 is a redundant powersupply unit designed to conform to the voltage requirements of the switches being supported. DPS-500 can be installed into the DPS-900, or DPS-800.

CAUTION: The AC power cord for the Switch should be disconnected before proceeding with installation of the DPS-500.

Figure 2 - 4. Installing the DPS-500

Connect to RPS

The DPS-200 is connected to the Master Switch using a 14-pin DC power cable. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects the redundant power supply to the main power source.

Figure 2 - 5. The DGS-3627 with the DPS-500 chassis RPS

1.Insert one end of the 14-pin DC power cable into the receptacle on the switch and the other end into the redundant power supply.

2.Using a standard AC power cable, connect the redundant power supply to the main AC power source. A green LED on the front of the DPS-500 will glow to indicate a successful connection.

3.Re-connect the switch to the AC power source. A LED indicator will show that a redundant power supply is now in operation.

4.No change in switch configuration is necessary for this installation.

NOTE: See the DPS-500 documentation for more information.

CAUTION: Do not use the Switch with any redundant power system other than the DPS-500.

NOTE: All 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Ethernet ports can support both MDI-

II and MDI-X connections.

Switch to End Node

End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ 45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP cable. The end node should be connected to any of the ports of the Switch.

Figure 3- 1. Switch connected to an end node

The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.
