3 Switch Chassis

The switch is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

Before continuing with switch installation, first review the general guidelines and
switch cooling requirements in this chapter.

This chapter includes these sections:

◆ “General Installation Guidelines” on page 21

◆ “How to Install the Switch in a Rack” on page 23

◆ “How to Install the Switch on a Shelf or Desktop” on page 26

◆ “Switch Cooling Requirements” on page 27

General Installation Guidelines

Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

The installation location should:

◆ be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 ° C/32 to 122 ° F ( 0 to 40 ° C/

32 to 104 ° F, ECS2100-10P only) and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non­condensing.

◆ provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on all

sides for proper air flow.

◆ be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the device.

◆ allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.

◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,

fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as
radios and transmitters.

◆ Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet and

is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using
a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Verify that the external AC power
requirements for the switch can be met as listed under “AC Power Suppl y

Specifications” on page 29.

Switch Cooling Requirements

Wherever the switch is located, be sure to pay close attention to switch cooling
requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide unrestricted
airflow at the front, back, and sides of the switch. If the airflow is insufficient, it may
cause the switch to overheat and possibly fail.

The ECS2100-28P switch is equipped with one cooling fan and the ECS2100-28PP
switch is equipped with three cooling fans. The following figure shows the cool air
intake and the hot air exhaust airflow into and from the switch.

How to Install the Switch in a Rack

| Switch Chassis

Rack Cooling When mounting the switch in an enclosed rack or cabinet, be sure to check the

following guidelines to prevent overheating:

◆ Make sure that enough cool air can flow into the enclosure for the equipment it

contains.

◆ Check that the rack or cabinet allows the hot air to exit the enclosure (normally

from the top) without circulating back into equipment.

◆ If the enclosure has sides or doors with ventilation holes, make sure they are

not blocked by cables or other obstructions.

◆ Route cables within the rack or cabinet to maximize the airflow.

◆ When possible, do not completely fill the rack or cabinet with equipment, allow

some unused space within the enclosure for better airflow.

How to Install the Switch in a Rack

When rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:

◆

Rack Types:

two or four posts. The bracket hole pattern should be spaced 1U (1.75 in. or

4.45 cm) apart.

◆

Rack Stability:

Cable Labeling and Connection Records

When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of
cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to
easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology
without need for unnecessary time consumption.

To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these
guidelines:

◆ Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

◆ Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all network-

connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to
which it is connected.

◆ Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the

switch ports.

Chapter 5

Cable Labeling and Connection Records

| Port Connections

◆ For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to

your cable labeling.

◆ Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.

◆ Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

◆ Label each separate piece of equipment.

◆ Display a copy of your equipment map, including meanings of all abbreviations

at each equipment rack.

To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure
that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T
operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your
network:

◆ Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables

with RJ-45 connectors; Category 5, 5e or better cable for 1000BASE-T
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3
or better for 10BASE-T connections.

◆ Protection from radio frequency interference emissions

◆ Electrical surge suppression

◆ Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic

fields from data based network wiring

◆ Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

All 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs,
switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the
cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the
cable.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is
recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The
Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only
recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing
Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation
to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3-2008 standards.

Any PoE-compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power from the
switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring its own separate power source.
This capability gives network administrators centralized power control for devices
such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater network
availability.

For each attached PoE-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load
and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device
using the wire pairs in UTP or STP cable.

Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect cables to 1000BASE-T RJ-45 twisted-pair copper

ports.

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.

1. Attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Make sure each twisted

pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.

2. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to

each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.

How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports

The switch provides four slots for SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers.

Note that all 1000BASE fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. All 100BASE

How to Connect to SFP Fiber Optic Ports

Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect cables to SFP transceiver ports.

| Port Connections

Warning :

This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The
lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are
inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at
a transmit port when it is powered on.

Warning :

When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure
that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended
maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved
Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.

1. Remove and keep the fiber port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber

cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by

wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of
the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on
the port.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the SFP port on the switch and the other end

to the SFP port on the other device. Since SFP connectors are keyed, the cable
can be attached in only one orientation.

Figure 22: Making a Connection to an SFP Port

SFP Transceiver Port Fiber Optic Cable

4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch to be sure that the

connection is valid.

Note:

Be sure to secure cables properly and route them away from the switch
without exceeding the minimum bending radius for fiber cables (typically a few
inches). Use cable ties to bundle cables together and secure coiled loops of excess
cable. Do not let cables hang free supporting their own weight or pull in any way
that puts stress on the connectors.

192.168.2.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address
to be on the same subnet as the switch (that is, the PC and switch addresses must
both start 192.168.2.x).

parameter data. For a detailed description of connecting to the console and using
the switch’s command line interface (CLI), refer to the CLI Reference Guide.

How to Reset the Switch

The Reset button located on the front right side panel of the switch can be used to
restart the device and set the configuration back to either the currently saved
configuration or the factory default settings.

How to Reset the Switch

Reset to the Saved

Configuration File

Reset to Factory

Default Settings

Press the Reset button for less than 5 seconds to restart the system software using
the current saved configuration file settings. Any unsaved changes in the curerntly
running configuration will be lost and the only the saved settings in the startup
configuration file will be used when the switch reboots.

Press the Reset button for more than 5 seconds to restart the system software using
the factory default settings. Any unsaved changes in the currently running
configuration will be lost. The saved startup configuration file will still be available
to select within the switch user interface, if needed.

Caution:

Pressing the reset button will lose any unsaved changes in the running

switch configuration.

◆

Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the AC
power outlet.

◆

Check the AC power outlet is supplying 110-240 VAC.

◆

Contact your dealer for assistance.

◆

Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition.

◆

If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance.

◆

Turn off or unplug PoE devices until the condition clears.

◆

If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance.

◆

Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.

◆

Check the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and
corresponding device.

◆

If the switch is installed in a rack, check the connections to the
punch-down block and patch panel.

◆

Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not
exceed specified limits.

◆

Check the attached device and cable connections for possible
defects. Replace the defective cable if necessary.

System Self-Diagnostic Test Failure

If the Diag LED indicates a failure of the system power-on-self-test (POST), you can
use a console connection to view the POST results. The POST results may indicate a
failed component or help troubleshoot the problem. For more information on
connecting to the console port and using the CLI, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.

Note a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be
rectified or worked around. If you encounter a POST failure, you should contact
your dealer for assistance.

Power and Cooling Problems

If a power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the switch shuts down after operating for a continuous period, check
for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still
cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the
other components are functioning properly.

In-Band Access

You can access the management agent in the switch through a connection to any
port using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management software tools.
However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management
agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you
entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the switch port has not been disabled.
If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that connects your
remote location to the switch.
