Installing a Module
Introduction You can increase the connectivity op tions of your switch by installing
a module.
Warning Modules are not designed to be installed in, or removed
from, the switch while it is in operation. You must
power off the switch before attempting to install or
remove a module.
Static-free working area The module’s printed circuit b oard is an Electrostatic Sensitive De-
vice and should be handled only in a static-free working area; otherwise, the printed circuit board may fail or be degraded.
Avoiding damage to the
circuit board
If you remove the plate covering the slot on the front of the switch,
for example, to install or remove a module, follow this procedure to
avoid damage to your printed circuit board:
Warning Do not remove the plate unless the switch is discon-
nected from the main power supply.
1 Disconnect the switch from the main p ower supply.
2 Ground the switch before you handle the printed circuit board.
3 Connect yourself to a non-painted/non-isolated part of the
grounded switch (for example the back panel) using a wrist
strap with 1MΩ resistance to ensure that you carry the same
electrostatic charge as the enclosure.
4 Remove the plate covering the slot.
Installing a module To install a module:
1 If the switch is alread y oper at i onal , di sconn ect it from th e main
power supply.
2 Follow the instructions in “Avoiding damage to the circuit
board” above.
3 Unscrew the screws of t he plat e cove ring t he sl ot on the f ront o f
the switch. Save these screws and plate.
4 Insert the module into the slot (following the instructions in the
module’s User Guide). Place your thumbs just beneath the
screws on the front panel of the module and push in the module.
Secure it using the retaining screws.

C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch
Removing the module
To remove a module:
1 If the switch is already operational, disconnect it from the main
power supply.
2 Follow the instructions in “Avoiding damage to the circuit
board” above.
3 Unscrew the screws securing the module.
4 Pull the module gently to disengage the connec tors fully from
the socket on the motherboard. Slide the module out completely.
5 Cover the empty module port with the plate and secure using
the screws.
Connecting Other Devices
Introduction Incorrect cabling is often the cause of network configuration prob-
lems
Use shielded cables Shielded cables nor mally comply with EM C and FCC emission lim-
its.
Only use unshielded cables when it is explicitly specifie d in the in-
stallation manual of the device in question.
Cables for the LAN Ports Ports on the switch are wired MDI-X, so use the following cable:
If you connect the switch to a... Then use a...
Workstation or server Straight-through cable 1:1
Device with MDI-X ports (for exam-
Crossover cable
ple another Intel switch or hub)
Device with MDI ports Strai ght-through cable 1 :1
10
C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch
RJ-45 connector pin
assignments
Connecting a de vice to the
RJ-45 ports
The RJ-45 ports on the front of the switch have the following pin assignments:
Pin number Function
1RX+
2RX3TX+
6TX-
To connect a workstation compatible with IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet Version 1.0 and 2.0) or a fast access device (such as a server) to the
switch’s RJ-45 ports using UTP cable (Category 5):
1 Make sure that the device has a 100Mbps (100Base-FX or 10/
100Base-TX) network interface card installed.
If not, use your network interface card’s documentation to
install and configure it correctly.
2 If your workstation i s fitted with an RJ-45 interface then t here is
no problem. However, it is possible to atta ch t o ot her con nect or
types using an appropriate adapter. For example, use a UTP/
10Base-FL adapter for fiber connections
3 Connect one end of the UTP cable to an RJ-45 port on the
switch.
According to IEEE 802.3, the cable leng th must not excee d 100
meters (approximately 325 feet).
4 Connect the other end to the 100Base-TX connection on the
device.
Connecting the
management PC
To manage the switch from a PC connected d irectly to the switch , the
PC must not use frame tagging. To manage the switch from a PC with
IEEE 802.1Q tagged frames, management must be through a device
which untags the frame s.
Cable for the C on sol e Port If you connect a PC (via the Con sole Port), then use a null-modem ca-
ble.
11
C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch
Connecting the Power
Introduction After connecting the devi ces to the switch, con nect th e power cabl e.
There are certain practical and safety considerations to be made before powering the switch on.
The Power Cable
Ground warning The switch is delivered with a power cable that fits the power sockets
in your country. If this is not the case, co ntact your dealer immediately and ask for the correct power cable.
Power cable wiring color
code
The wires in the power cable provided are color coded:
Color Connection
Green and yellow Ground
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
Important for UK use If the colors of the wires in the power cable provided do not corre-
spond with the markings that identify the term inals in your plug:
1 Make sure that the green and yellow wire is connected to the
terminal marked with the letter E, or with the ground symbol
, or is colored green and yellow.
2 Make sure that the blue wire is connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or colored black.
3 Make sure that the brown wire is connected to the terminal
marked with the lette r L or colored red.
Power supply to a rack If the switch is installed in a rack, make sure the rack’s power supply
socket has a ground connection and t he rack is connected t o a branch
supply or a power supply socket with a ground connection.
12
To avoid overloading the circuit and damaging the wiring of t he power supply, the power su pply to t he rack must be adequate to cover the
extra power consumed by the switch.
C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch
Power up
Powering up the switch Follow these steps to power up the switch:
1 Push the female end of the p ower cabl e int o the ma in socket (i n
the rear panel); pl ug the other end into the power supply outle t.
2 Make sure that the Power LED (on the front pa nel) is green.
If it isn’t green, make sure that the power outlet is working correctly (switched on). If the power outlet is on and the Power
LED is not green, then there is a fault within the switch and
you must contact your dealer.
3 Verify that an LED is lit for each of the front panel ports where
a powered on device is connected.
Start-up procedure Immediately after power-up, the following should happen during
start-up:
Stage STATUS LED... Then the switch...
1 Is red Is starting up
2 Turns to steady green Has started successfully
If the Status LED remains red, then the switch has not started successfully . T ry to rest art it; if the switch doe s not start, contact your dealer.
Look at the other front panel LEDs during start-up and check that
they are operating correctly.
Port LED states The LEDs reflect the state of each port:
LED Indicates
No lights Port enabled, no link.
Green, blinking
randomly
Port enabled, RX/TX traffic, link pulse
active.
Green, solid Port enabled, link pulse active.
13
C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch

Green and Orange both
blinking randomly
Collision detected (with half duplex).
Port enabled, link pulse active.
Orange, solid Port disabled by management.
Green and Orange both
solid
Port disa bled by a hardware fault, or no
hardware connected.
Once the switch has started successfully, installation is complete and
the switch is using its default setting (al so known as defau lt conf i guration):
• All ports are enabled.
• All ports operate in auto-negotiation mode.
• Spanning Tree is disabled on all ports.
• Addresses that have been silent for more than 15 minutes are
purged from the swit ch’s address table (the MAC Address Aging
time).
• No access restrictions to Local Management (Telnet).
• No SNMP restrictions.
• No permanent MAC address entries defined. A permanent entry
is a MAC address that is defined as being permitted only on a
certain port. This can be a useful security feature.
• All ports are in the same VLAN (named <System>) and VLAN
mode (Stand-alone mode). VLANs allow you to create virtual
networks using specific switch ports, IP addresses, IP subnets
and MAC addresses.
• Flow Control is enabled on all ports.
• The connection with Local Management is timed-out after 10
minutes if there has been no input during this period.
After start-up This default configur ation is adequa te for simple workgroup environ-
ments to operate in basic switching mode.
Although the switch continues to operate without problems, we rec-
ommend that you change certai n parameters to suit your own requirements.
14
C H A P T E R 1 Intel Express 510T Switch
Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to change the configuration
while the switch is operating.
Other LEDs on the front panel
Introduction There are three other LEDs and one button on the front panel that
show how the switch is operating:
• Status LED
• Temperature LED
• Redundant Power Supply (RPS) LED
• Port Status button
LED colors and their
meanings
The LEDs give information about the state of the switch:
