5. Ukusetha nokufakwa
5.1 Ukulungiswa Kwesizinda
Before installation, ensure the installation site meets the following requirements:
- Imvelo: Maintain an ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C (32°F and 113°F) and relative humidity between 10% and 85% (non-condensing).
- Amandla: A dedicated power outlet with proper grounding is recommended.
- Ukungenisa umoya: Ensure at least 5 cm (2 inches) of clearance at the front and rear for airflow.
5.2 Ukukhwezwa kwamaRakhi
The EX4200-24P is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
- Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the supplied screws.
- Align the switch with the rack posts and secure it using appropriate rack screws.
5.3 Ukuxhuma Amandla
- Connect one end of the power cord to the AC power connector on the rear panel of the switch.
- Xhuma enye ingxenye yentambo yamandla endaweni kagesi ephansi.
- The switch will power on automatically. Observe the system status LEDs for initial boot-up.
5.4 Ukuxhumana Kwenethiwekhi
- Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the RJ-45 ports on the front panel.
- For uplink connections to other switches or routers, insert appropriate SFP/SFP+ transceivers into the uplink module slot and connect fiber or copper cables as required.
- For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your management workstation to the console port on the rear panel.
6. Ukusebenzisa Iswishi
6.1 Power On and Initial Boot
Once connected to power, the switch will begin its boot sequence. The system status LEDs will indicate the boot progress. The LCD display will show system information during startup.
6.2 Izinkomba ze-LED
Monitor the LEDs on the front panel to understand the switch's operational status:
- Isistimu ye-LED: Indicates overall system health (e.g., green for normal operation, amber for minor alarm, red for major alarm).
- I-LED yamandla: Ikhombisa isimo samandla.
