• Modular Power Supply Slots: Two slots for redundant, hot-swappable AC or DC power supply units (PSUs). The switch supports internal redundant modular PSUs.
• QSFP Expansion Module Slot: A dedicated slot for an optional QSFP expansion module, providing additional high-speed connectivity options.
• Cargol de presa de terra: A terminal for connecting the chassis to an earth ground.

5. Configuració

5.1. Instal·lació

1. Muntatge en bastidor: Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the included screws. Secure the switch into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Ensure proper ventilation space (at least 10 cm) around the front and rear panels.
2. Connexió d'alimentació: Insert the power supply units (if not pre-installed) into the modular slots on the rear panel. Connect the AC power cords to the PSUs and then to a grounded power outlet. For redundancy, connect each PSU to an independent power source.
3. Posada a terra: Connect a grounding wire from the grounding screw on the rear panel to a reliable earth ground.

5.2. Configuració Inicial

1. Connexió a la consola: Connect the console cable from your management workstation's serial port to the RJ-45 console port on the switch's front panel.
2. Terminal Emulator: Open a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) on your workstation. Configure the serial port settings: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
3. Encès: Power on the switch. Observe the boot sequence in the terminal window.
4. Inici de sessió: At the login prompt, enter the default username and password (refer to the Quick Start Guide for default credentials).
5. Configuració bàsica: Follow the on-screen prompts or use command-line interface (CLI) commands to configure basic settings such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and management VLAN.
