IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PRÉCAUTIONS CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and re hazard! Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
AVERTISSEMENT: Evitez les décharges éléctriques et les risques
d’incendie.
Ne pas modier le système de sécurité de la che polarisée ou
de la che de terre. Une che polarisée dispose de deux broches
dont une est plus large que l’autre. Une che de terre dispose de
deux broches et d’une troisième pour le raccordement à la terre.
Cette broche plus large ou cette troisième broche est destinée
à assurer la sécurité de l’utilisateur. Si la che équipant l’appareil
n’est pas compatible avec les prises de courant disponibles, faire
remplacer les prises par un électricien.

VENTILATION OPENINGS:
The system heat vents located on each side dissipate heat. Do not block these openings. Leave at least 5 inches of space at the rear and 2 inches of space at the
sides of the switch for proper ventilation. Be reminded that without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might overheat, which could
lead to system failure or even severely damage components.
WARNING: To prevent the Gigacore26i (with PoE) from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature
of 50°C for the Gigacore 26i and 40°C for the Gigacore 26i with PoE.
POWER CABLE:

Installing Mini GBIC (SFP) transceivers
The GigaCore 26i (with PoE) comes with six SFP cages at the front of the unit. These cages accept mini GBIC transceivers.
In order to get best the performances, Luminex recommends the use of the following transceivers:
LU 90 00871 GigaCore 1.25Gd Multi-Mode ber transceiver
LU 90 00872 GigaCore 1.25Gd Single Mode ber transceiver
LU 90 00874 GigaCore 1.25Gd copper RJ45 transceiver
Recommended transceivers

Connect the power cable to the device, and connect the other side of the cable to the mains. It will take approximately
20 seconds for the switch to boot up. You’ll then be able to use it.
THIS UNIT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY. DISCONNECT ALL POWER SUPPLIES BEFORE
SERVICING TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Connecting the Redundant Power Supply Unit
The GigaCore 26i (with PoE) provides a connector to an optional Luminex Redundant Power Supply Unit, providing
redundancy on power level for both the mains as the PoE power.
Attach only the following RPSU to the RPSU connector: LU 01 00061 GigaCore RPSU MKII

GigaCore features explained
The GigaCore range of switches oers a bunch of unique features which greatly simplify your everyday job.
These features will be explained in the following pages :
To create redundant paths with RLinkX, simply connect a minimum of two links between to GigaCore switches. The blue
RLinkX LEDs of the connected ports will turn on, indicating the redundancy is active and available.
If you port’s RLinkX LED turns o, this means you lost one of your redundant path.
RLinkX, which stands for Redundant Link by LumineX, is an automated system to easily create redundant paths between
your GigaCore switches. Switches automatically create active and backup paths, providing an eortless methode to
create safe networks.
If one of the active paths fails, the switches will enable a backup path, in a seamless manner.
By default, all GigaCore ports have RLinkX enabled, which means you can interconnect any GigaCore switch between
each other. All redundant paths will be created automatically by the switches, no need for conguration.
