Before Installing the Switch Blade

The M6100 series switch blades are designed to be installed in the XCM8903 rack-mount switch chassis. NETGEAR recommends installing the XCM8903 rack-mount chassis into a rack before installing any switch blades. For more information about how to install the XCM8903 rack-mount switch chassis, see the XCM8903 Hardware Installation Guide.

Install the Chassis

You can either bracket-mount the chassis into a rack or install the chassis using the included rails. For more information about installing the chassis using rails, see the XCM8903 Hardware Installation Guide.
¾ To bracket-mount the chassis:
1. Partially screw two of the included screws into the rack where you want the bottom of the chassis to rest.
2. Rest the bottom of the chassis’s brackets on the two screws.

2. Screw the fan tray to the rear of the chassis using the included screws.

Install the Switch Blade

¾ To install a switch blade in a M6100 series chassis switch:
1. Select a slot for the switch blade.
2. Remove a blank front panel from the chassis slot, if necessary. Any unoccupied switch blade slot in the chassis must have a
blank faceplate installed to ensure satisfactory protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the chassis.
3. Remove the switch blade from the antistatic packaging.
CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage, hold the switch blade by
the metal rail and front panel only. Never touch the components on the PCB or the pins on any of the connectors.
4. Verify that the switch blade injector-ejector handles are open.
5. Keep the injector-ejector handles in the open position as you slide the switch blade into the chassis slot.
CAUTION: Do not slide the switch blade into the open chassis
slot if the injector-ejector handles are in the latched position.

6. Using both hands, push both handles toward the center of the switch blade, as shown.

CAUTION: Be careful to avoid over torquing and stripping the screw
heads.

Install the Power Supply

¾ To install the power supply:
1. Carefully slide the power supply all the way into the power supply bay until it clicks into place.
Locking handle
CAUTION: Do not slam the power supply into the system
backplane. Use the locking handle to secure the power supply in the power supply bay.
2. Repeat Step 1 to install each additional power supply.
3. Aer all the power supplies have been installed, connect an
9
Page 10
AC power cord to the AC input connector below each power supply.
WARNING: Be sure that the source outlet is properly grounded
before plugging the AC power cord into the input connector.

Install Optional PoE (XCM89P) or UPoE (XCM89UP) Board

You can install an optional PoE (XCM89P) or UPoE (XCM89UP) board into the XCM8944 and XCM8948 switch blades.
¾ To install the optional PoE (XCM89P) or UPoE
(XCM89UP) board:
1. Remove the switch blade from the chassis.
10
Page 11
2. Connect the optional board and secure it with the attached screws as shown.
Configure the Switch Blade
You can manage your switch through its web management interface or by using the command-line interface (CLI) through a console port. This guide shows you how to configure your switch using the web management interface. It also covers using the CLI to determine a DHCP-assigned IP address or using ezconfig to assign a static IP address. For more information about CLI management, see the M6100 CLI Reference Manual and the M6100 Soware Administration Manual.
11
Page 12
When configuring your switch, connect your switch to one of the numbered ports on the switch’s front panel. Do not connect to the Out-of-Band (OoB) port for initial switch configuration.
Note: Use the OoB port to manage the switch only aer the switch
has been configured for your network. For more information about switch management using the OoB port, see the M6100
CLI Reference Manual and the M6100 Soware Administration Manual.
To configure your switch using web management, use one of the following procedures, depending on how your Windows computer is set up:
• Computer is in DHCP client mode without DHCP server.
• Computer uses a static IP address.
• Computer is in DHCP client mode with DHCP server.
Computer in DHCP Client Mode Without a DHCP Server
The switch assumes a default IP address of 169.254.100.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The switch is in the same subnet
12
Page 13
used by the computer NIC port when in DHCP-client mode without a DHCP server present. Use this IP value to log in to the switch.
Computer with a Static IP Address
When the computer is in this mode, the switch must also be assigned a static IP address. To assign a static IP address, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to one of the switch’s console ports. A cable for the mini USB port and a straight-through RJ-45 cable are supplied.
¾ To configure the switch:
1. Start a terminal emulation program (TEP).
2. Connect your computer to a mini USB or RJ-45 console port on the front panel of the blade.
Use the installation CD to install the USB driver on your computer.
13
Page 14
Note: You might need to install the USB serial port driver available on
the CD included with the package before you can use the mini USB port on the computer to connect to the switch.
3. Configure the TEP to use the following settings:
• Baud rate. 115200 bps
• Data bits. 8
• Parity. None
• Stop bit. 1
• Flow control. None
4. At the command prompt User:, log in to the switch using the user name admin and press the Enter key.
5. At the password prompt press the Enter key. No password is required for initial configuration.
6. At the next command prompt, type ezconfig and press the Enter key.
The ezconfig utility is now running on the switch.
7. Use the following example to set up your static IP address and subnet mask.
Note: Make sure that the selected switch IP address is in that same
subnet as the computer.

8. Connect your computer to one of the numbered ports on the switch’s front panel.
9. Enter the IP address you configured in the address field of a browser.
A login screen displays.
10. Enter admin for the user name and leave the password field blank.
11. Click the Login button. The system information screen displays.
12. Configure the switch for your network. For more information on configuration settings and options, see
the M6100 Soware Administration Guide.
Computer in DHCP Client Mode with a DHCP Server
By default, the switch is configured as a DHCP client to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server in the connected network. You must access the switch from either the mini USB or RJ-45 console port.
¾ To configure the switch:
1. Make sure that the switch is connected to a DHCP server.
16

2. Start a terminal emulation program (TEP).
3. Connect your computer to a mini USB or RJ-45 console port on the front panel of the blade.
4. Configure the TEP to use the following settings:
• Baud rate. 115200 bps
• Data bits. 8
• Parity. None
• Stop bit. 1
• Flow control. None
5. Type the show network command and press the Enter key. A screen displays that shows the active switch IP address.
6. Connect your computer to one of the numbered ports on the switch’s front panel.
7. On the computer that is connected to the switch, enter the switch IP address in the address field of a browser.
17
