Reset button

The Reset button is recessed within a hole on the front panel. Use a straightened paper clip or similar object to press the Reset button. The Reset button allows technicians to reset the switch, as follows:

v Press Reset: The switch resets and reloads the configuration files. v Press and hold Reset for five seconds: The switch resets and configures all

settings to the factory defaults.

Fans

Four internal hot-swap fan modules cool the switch unit. If an individual fan module fails, the other fans continue to run, and the switch unit continues to operate normally. You can replace a hot-swap fan module while the switch is operating.

Fan operation and internal temperatures are monitored. If the air temperature exceeds a threshold, the environmental monitor displays warning messages.

Note: If a fan module fails, the maximum operating temperature drops from 40°C to

35°C (104°F to 95°F).

The Servic e(!)LEDflashes and the Fan LED flashes if there is a failure of one or more fan modules. The failed fan module LED (rear panel) flashes to indicate a failure.

AC power supply

The RackSwitch has two hot-swap redundant 150 W AC power supplies. Each internal power supply has an individual IEC 320 power connector on the rear panel. The power cord attaches to a universal grounded AC power source. You can replace a hot-swap power supply module without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

Chapter 1. Introduction 5

Switch ports

DANGER

Each power supply can be connected to a separate AC circuit to mitigate the risk of down time during a power failure. When used in a redundant configuration, the dual power supplies have a load-sharing capability that enables each power supply to operate at approximately 50% of full load. Using redundant power can minimize the power disruption during a power supply failure and extend the expected lifetime of each power supply by operating normally in a conservative power mode.

There is no power switch on the G8052; the switch unit powers up when power is supplied through the power cords.

The Power Supply LED indicates the status of the power supplies. The LED flashes when only one power cord is connected, and is steady when both power cords are connected.

The RackSwitch G8052 switch ports and port options are described in the following sections.

10/100/1000BASET ports

v Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could

result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.

v Use of the controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
