Installation

Chapter 2 Installation

The ZX4300P is an unmanaged layer 2 switch requiring no software setup or configuration. Once the switch is installed in a chassis and power applied, it is fully operational as a layer 2 switch.

Be sure to carefully follow the instructions for attaching the ZX4300P switch into an available 6U Compact PCI (cPCI) slot to prevent damage. For CPSB applications, the ZX4300P must be placed in a PICMG 2.16 compliant fabric slot. If you intend to use a Rear Transition Board, a cPCI chassis is required that supports the rear panel I/O for a corresponding Rear Transition Board. Some steps in this procedure may vary depending on the specific system used.

If the ZX4300P is installed in a non-CPSB chassis, i.e. a standard CompactPCI chassis, ensure the slot used does NOT contain an H.110 backplane.

Preparing for the Install

Refer to your specific system documentation for additional installation reference.

1.Power off your system.

2.Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis, or by using an anti-static wrist strap. If you do not have a ground strap, maintain physical contact with the case to maintain the same electrical potential with the system.

Installing the ZX4300P cPCI Card

1.Select an available slot on your cPCI system and remove the slot cover from the front panel. For CPSB applications, choose a fabric slot.

2.Carefully insert the ZX4300P into the slot. Be sure you push the card straight into the slot. The card and the slot must be properly aligned and the card fully seated. A card is seated properly when it touches the system case up to the extraction levers.

3.Push the extraction levers towards one another to finish seating the switch and secure the retention screws.
