Installing Switches for an IRF | 3Com 4210G instruction

The installation and removal of dedicated CX4 cables and SFP+ cables are similar. This section describes the installation and removal of the dedicated CX4 cable for illustration.

Make sure that you have installed a CX4/SFP+ interface module before installing CX4/SFP+ cables.

Step1 Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify the ESD-preventive wrist strap properly grounded. Then take out the dedicated CX4 cable from the package.

Step2 Horizontally plug the plug of the dedicated CX4 cable into the CX4 port of the switch and pay attention to the direction of the plug when plugging it.

Removing Dedicated CX4/SFP+ Cable

Step1 Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify the ESD-preventive wrist strap properly grounded.

Step2 Hold the plug of the CX4 cable, pull the handle at the end of the plug to horizontally unplug the plug of the CX4 cable from the CX4 port of the switch.

Dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable of the Switch 4210G is hot pluggable.

Make sure that the cable bending radius is no less than eight times of the cable diameter when dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable is connected.

Installing Switches for an IRF

The Switch 4210G 24-Port, Switch 4210G 48-Port, Switch 4210G PWR 24-Port, and Switch 4210G PWR 48-Port support the IRF function. You can install IRF-capable interface modules to connect multiple switches through the 10 GE ports to form a logical entity, thus to establish a new intelligent network with high reliability, expandability and manageability.
