Chapter 3: Installing the Hardware

Installing the Power Cord Retaining Clip

This section applies to the fixed power supplies installed in the x610-24Ts, x610-24Ts/X, x610-48Ts, and x610-48Ts/X switches and to the AT-PWR250 and AT-PWR800 power supply modules.

Note

The AT-PWR1200 power supply does not have a retaining clip.

Perform the following procedure to install the power cord retaining clip on the switches:

1. Locate the power cord retaining clip, shown in Figure 38.

Figure 38. Power Cord Retaining Clip

2.Install the clip on the AC power connector on the rear panel of the switch. With the ‘u’ of the clip facing down, press the sides of the clip toward the center and insert the short ends into the holes in the retaining bracket, as shown in Figure 39.

Allied Telesis has made a significant mark in the networking hardware industry with its impressive lineup of switching solutions. Among these, the X610 series stands out, offering a range of models including the X610-48TS, X610-24TS/X-POE+, X610-24TS/X, X610-48TS-POE+, and X610-24TS-POE+. These switches are designed for robust performance, scalability, and energy efficiency, catering to the needs of businesses and organizations of various sizes.

The X610-48TS model features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing high-density connectivity options that are essential for modern network architectures. Complementing this, the X610-24TS models, which come with 24 ports, are ideal for smaller deployments while still delivering significant capacity and performance. The X610-24TS/X-POE+ variant enhances this capability further by incorporating Power over Ethernet, enabling the switch to deliver both data and power over the same cable. This feature simplifies installations of IP-based devices such as cameras, phones, and wireless access points.

All models in the X610 series support advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, enabling efficient network management and control. With support for VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, and link aggregation, these switches facilitate better traffic management and redundancy, crucial for maintaining high availability in enterprise environments. Additionally, the ability to implement Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of Allied Telesis products, and the X610 series is no exception. The switches incorporate technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which helps reduce power consumption during periods of low network activity, thus lowering operational costs while supporting eco-friendly initiatives.

Security features are also robust, with mechanisms such as access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in DHCP snooping ensuring that the network remains secure against unauthorized access and threats. The switches are designed with a user-friendly interface for easy configuration and management, including support for SNMP and a web-based management interface.

In conclusion, Allied Telesis' X610 series, with its various models, offers an impressive blend of performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. These switches are well-suited for a wide variety of applications, making them an ideal choice for organizations looking to upgrade or establish a reliable networking infrastructure. Their advanced features, coupled with a focus on security and management, provide organizations with the tools necessary to handle current and future networking demands.
