Safety Considerations
This equipment is for use in a restricted access area by qualified personnel only. To avoid
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than those contained in the unpacking
instructions.
This equipment contains Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive components. Use ESD
protection before servicing or installing components of this system.
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or
remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power supply or the device could
be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power supply is
being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be
connected to a power source.)
All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted
access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only
by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other
means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the
location.
The equipment is designed to be used with Class 1 Laser fiber optic
transmitters which may endanger your eyes.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Disconnect the product from the power line before removing the cover.
Any adjustment and maintenance of the opened device should be done
only while the device is disconnected from its source of power and should
only be performed by qualified personnel, authorized by Foundry
Networks.

WARNING
WARNING
GROUNDING
Before connecting the product to the power line, make sure that the
protective ground terminal of the device is connected to the safety ground
conductor of the mains power cord.
The main power supply plug should only be inserted in a socket outlet
provided with a connected safety ground. The protective action must not
be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a protective
conductor (grounding). Any interruption of the protective (grounding)
conductor or disconnection of the protective ground terminal can make
the device unsafe to use. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
This equipment has a connection between the earthed conductor of the
DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor.
WIRING FOR NATIONAL POWER PLUG
A mains power cable according to National Electrical Code (NEC) with
molded IEC socket is supplied with each unit. The specific national
mains power plug should be wired as follows:
• Brown lead Live (phase)
• Blue lead Neutral
• Green/Yellow lead Safety ground.
WARNING
WARNING
LINE VOLTAGE
Before connecting the product to the power line, make sure the voltage
of the power source matches the requirements of the product, as marked
on the label located near the power connectors.
DC POWER SOURCE
The DC power source should be protected with a branch circuit overcurrent protection rated at 10Amp, located in the building installation

Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches
Overview
Introduction
High powered networks require a combination of speed and robust services support to be able to
provide the intensive and fluctuating demands of their end users. To answer these requirements,
the network needs to provide data transmission at wire speed performance in a non-blocking
fashion. This switch is an enhanced Metro Ethernet CPE platform designed to provide wire
speed non-blocking Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching architecture as well as Hierarchical Virtual
Private LAN Services (HVPLS) hubs-and-spokes and MPLS based rings support.
The platform capabilities include Ethernet LAN/ Line services, use of advanced Hierarchical
QoS (tens of thousands of queues) as well as Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Services
(HVPLS) hubs-and-spokes and MPLS based rings support. The platform offers services
convergence such as voice, data and video over Gigabit Ethernet, Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet
(MPLS/ VPLS).
There are two flavors to the NetIron M2404, the NetIron M2404C and the NetIron M2404F.
(1) NetIron M2404C accommodates 24 Fast Ethernet copper ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports;
(2) NetIron M2404F accommodates 24 Fast Ethernet fiber ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The platforms are identical in their performance.
NOTE
Throughout this guide, both switches are referred to as “NetIron M2404”, “the
platform” or “the switch”, unless relating to a specific platform.

To prepare for installation, make sure you have an ESD wrist strap that can be attached to a
grounded metal surface. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip
end to a grounded metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground

meg ohm resistor.
To install an SFP transceiver into a port, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a grounded
metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.

3. Gently insert the SFP tranceiver into the port until the module clicks into place. The module
is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. See Figure 5.
Important Note
When inserting an SFP tranceiver into ports marked 27 or 28, verify that the SFP is facing
upside -down (as shown in figure below). All other SFP ports on the switch face right-side up.
