Model M4500-32C There are 4 LEDs for each 100G QSFP28 port to show the fan-out port status. Here are LED definitions for 100G QSFP28 fan-out use cases.
Model M4500-32C Data Port Connection Supported Transceivers and Cables See the following table for the list of supported transceivers and direct-attach cables (DACs).
Model M4500-32C QSFP28 Port Connection The switch is equipped with 32 QSFP28 ports. Each single port supports 40G or 100G by using 40G or 100G cables or optical transceivers. The switch can support fan-out cable for 40G to 4 x 10G or 100G to 4 x 25G or 2 x 50G. The QSFP28 ports are numbered and have corresponding QSFP28 port LEDs. To install a QSFP28 module, do the following: 1 Slide the QSFP28 module into a QSFP28 port. 2 Push completely until the module locks into place.
Model M4500-32C The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector. The switch automatically adjusts its power setting to any supply voltage in the range from 100~240 VAC at 50~60 Hz. The NETGEAR model number for a PSU is APS750W. NOTE: Verify that each module has the same airflow direction. Make sure the switch runs with all of its power supply and fan tray modules taking in air from a cold aisle and exhausting air to the hot aisle.
Hardware Installation Unpacking the Hardware Upon receiving the switch, inspect the packing box. If the packing box was not damaged in transit, unpack it carefully. NOTE: Retain the packing box in case you need to transport the switch. Because the packing box is heavy, we recommend that you carry the box and perform the installation together with someone else. Package Contents The following items are included with a standard package.
Hardware Installation Ventilation The installation surroundings must have adequate ventilation. Proper clearance between the switch and the wall or other equipment must be observed. Rack Mounting If installing on a rack, verify the following: Ensure the cabinet is stable and secure to withstand any unexpected movement, such as an earthquake. Ensure the rack or cabinet can support the weight of the switch and other additional weight.
Hardware Installation Mounting the Switch into the Rack To mount the switch to a rack: 1 Remove the inner rails. For each inner rail, pull the inner rail out until it is fully extended, and then push the tab forward to release the inner rail from the middle rail. Remove the inner rail. 2 For each inner rail, pull the tab upward to unlock the latch, and then push the middle rail back into the outer rail. 3 Remove the screws on the switch. NOTE: Place the screws in a bag to prevent losing them.
Hardware Installation 4 Remove the rail mounting brackets and screws from the accessory bag. 5 Align the holes on the rail mounting brackets with the switch. 6 Secure the rail mounting brackets with screws. 7 For each inner rail, align the hooks on the switch with the holes in the inner rail, and then slide the inner rail backward until it is locked in place. 8 For each inner rail, use the screws to secure the inner rail to the switch.
Hardware Installation 9 Install the outer rails to the rack. To install the front bracket: Pull the latch and install the rail by aligning the hooks with the front rack holes, and then release the latch to lock the hooks into place. To install the rear bracket: Align and push the rail firmly into the rear rack until it clicks into place. Make sure that the L-shaped bracket is facing inward.
Hardware Installation 12 Slide the blue release tabs on the inner rails and push the switch all the way to the rear of the rack. 13 Secure the switch to the rack using the screws. Connecting to the Console Port The console port is used for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program. You can connect the switch to a terminal or PC using one of the supplied console cables for serial communication. (USB 2.
Hardware Installation To connect to the console using the RJ-45 male-to-RS-232 female cable: 1 Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port ( Model M4500-48XF8C ) of the switch. Model M4500-32C 2 Connect the DB9 to a terminal or PC. 3 Manage the switch using the CLI commands (for more information, see the CLI manual).
Hardware Installation 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network. The Management port LED (Link/Activity LED) lights green when the network link is established. Connecting the Power CAUTION Ensure that the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and be easily accessible. The power cord must have safety ground pin or contact that is suitable for the electrical outlet. The power supply cord(s) must be plugged into socket outlet(s) that is/are provided with a suitable earth ground.
Components Replacement Troubleshooting Below is a list of the common problems that you may encounter when using the switch. Try to solve these problems with the suggested solutions before calling for service. If problems persist, contact customer support. Diagnostic Switch Indicator Problem Power LED is off. Solution The switch does not receive any power. Check if the AC power cords are connected properly. Check if the power supply units are completely seated in the chassis.
Components Replacement In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address.
Components Replacement Replacing the Fan Tray CAUTION When installing a new fan module, make sure it has the same airflow direction as the fan modules and the power supply. The fan modules can be replaced without the use of special tools. Before replacing any of the fan modules, verify the status of the fan modules to determine if there is a need for replacement. NOTE: In the event of a fan failure, make sure to replace it within two minutes.
