Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is TP-LINK’s JetStream Stackable L2+/L3 Managed
Switch, supporting up to 4 SFP+ slots. T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ is ideal for
large businesses, campuses or SMB networks requiring an outstanding, reliable and
affordable 10 Gigabit solution.
T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ supports stacking of up to 8 units, thus providing flexible
scalability and protective redundancy for your networks. Moreover, aiming to better
protect your network, T2700G-28TQ/T3700G-28TQ’s main power is removable. With the
help of TP-LINK’s RPS, administrators can easily change its main power if it encounters
some problems without shutting down the switch, thus enabling your network to really
enjoy the benefit of uninterrupted operation.
Supporting advanced features such as OSPF, VRRP, IGMP and PIM DM/SM, T3700G28TQ can fully implement resilient scalable networks, and T2700G-28TQ can be
upgraded with the addition of a layer 3 license to provide these layer 3 routing features
as well.
Note:
Obtain the T2700G-28TQ Layer 3 License T2700G-28TQ-L1000 via the following steps
：
1. Buy a license key from a TP-LINK authorized distributor
.
2. Go to T2700G-28TQ page on TP-LINK website, use the license key together with the
switch S/N and the MAC address for authentication to download the license T2700G28TQ-L1000.

Interface Card Slot
Designed to extend the interfaces. You can select a TP-LINK Interface Card (TX432
for example) for your switch if needed. For how to install an Interface Card, please
refer to 3.4 Installing & Removing the Interface Card.
Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground
the switch through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable.
For detailed information, please refer to Chapter 4 Lightning Protection.
RPS Input Connector
Designed to connect the RPS (Redundant Power Supply). You can selected an RPS of
TP-LINK (RPS150 for example) for your switch if needed. For how to install an RPS,
please refer to 5.6 Power on via Redundant Power Supply.
Power Supply Module
The AC Power Supply Module PSM150-AC is installled in the switch. The
malfunctioned PSM150-AC can be replaced with a TP-LINK power supply module of
the same model. Its input voltage is 100-240V~ 50/60Hz.
The AC Power Supply Module is fully hot swappable, helping to ensure no system
interruption during installation or replacement. For how to install/remove the Power
Supply Module, please refer to 3.3 Installing & Removing the Power Supply
Module.
Caution: Please use the provided power cord.

2.2 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe
the following rules.
■
Safety Precautions
■
Keep the power off during the installation.
■
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good
skin contact and is well grounded.
■
Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
■
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear
panel of the switch.
■
Ensure the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.
■
Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
■
Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish
cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.
■
Site Requirements
To ensure normal operation and long service life of the device, please install it in an
environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsection.
Temperature/Humidity
ȭ
ȭ
Preparing For Installation
06
Stackable L2+/L3 Managed Switch
Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low
humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes
and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the insulation materials
and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. For normal temperature
and humidity of the device, please check the following table.
Environment Temperature Humidity
Operating 0℃ ~ 40℃ 10% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Storage -40℃ ~ 70℃ 5% ~ 90%RH Non-condensing
Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of
static electricity on the operation of the switch, please attach much importance to the
following items:
■
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■
Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected
by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling,
inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, please
make sure to take the following measures:
■
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
■
Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
transmitting station.
■
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and
the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to
20,000℃
