Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

2.1 Cautions

Similar to other electronic products, the semiconductor chip easily gets damaged if you
power on and off abruptly and frequently. To restart up the switch of BDCOM S2508B,
you have to open the power on-off three or five seconds after the power is cut off.

Avoid severe collision or falling down from the height to protect the parts in the switch.

Use correct outside ports to connect the switch of BDCOM S2508B. Do not insert the
Ethernet plug into the console port (RJ45 8-line socket). Similarly, do not insert the
console cable into the console port (RJ45 8-line socket).

Note:

1) When you plug or dial out the power line, keep the power line horizontal with the power
socket.

2) When the lifetime of our products ends, handle them according to national laws and
regulations, or send these products to our company for collective processing.

2.2 Safety Advice

2.2.1 Safety Principles

Keep dustless and clean during or after the installation.

Put the cover at the safe place.

Put tools at the right place where they are not easily falling down.

Put on relatively tight clothe, fasten the tie or scarf well and roll up the sleeve,
avoiding stumbling the machine box.

Put on the protective glasses if the environment may cause damage to your
eyes.

Avoid incorrect operations that may cause damage to human or devices.

2.2.2 Safety Notices

Read the installation guide carefully before you operate the system.

Only professionals are allowed to install or replace the switch.

Pull out the AC power socket and close the direct-current power before
operating on the machine box or working beside the power source.

-5-

The final configuration of products must comply with relative national laws and
regulations.

2.2.3 Safety Principles for Live Working

When you work under electricity, following the following principles:

Put off ornaments, such as ring, necklace, watch and bracelet, before you
operate under live working. When metal articles connect the power to the ground,
short circuit happens and components may be damaged.

Pull out the AC power socket and close the direct-current power before
operating on the machine box or working beside the power source.

When the power is on, do not touch the power.

Correctly connect the device and the power socket.

Only professionals are allowed to operate and maintain the device.

Read the installation guide carefully before the system is powered on.

Note:

1) Check potential dangers, such as the humid floor, ungrounded extensible power line and
tatty power line.

2) Install the emergent on-off at the working room for turning off the power when trouble
happens.

3) Turn off the power on-off of the switch and plug off the power line before installing or
uninstalling the machine box or working beside the power.

4) Do not work alone if potential dangers exist.

5) Cut off the power before checkout.

6) If trouble happens, take the following measures:

A. Cut off the system’s power.

B. Alarm.

C.Take proper measures to help persons who are hit by the disaster. Artificial
respiration is needed if necessary.

D. Seek for medical help, or judge the loss and seek for available help.

2.2.4 Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

Electrostatic discharge may damage devices and circuits. Improper treatment may cause
the switch to malfunction completely or discontinuously.

-6-

Move or locate the devices according to the measures of electrostatic discharge
prevention, ensuring the machine box connects the ground. Another measure is to wear
the static-proof hand ring. If there is no hand ring, use the metal clip with the metal cable
to clip the unpainted metal part of the machine box. In this case, the static is discharged
to the ground through the metal cable of the clip. You can also discharge the static to the
ground through your body.

2.3 Requirements for Common Locations

This part describes the requirements for the installation locations.

2.3.1 Environment

The switch can be installed on the desk or the cabinet. The location of the machine box,
cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system’s function.
Short distance between devices, bad ventilation and untouchable control plate will cause
maintenance problems, systematic faulty and breakdown.

For location planning and device locating, refer to section 2.3.2 “Location Configuration
Prevention”.

2.3.2 Location Configuration Prevention

The following preventive measures assist you to design the proper environment for the
switch.

Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices is
well-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.

Avoid to damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention
procedure.

Put the machine box at the place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the
machine box. Make sure the machine box is sealed because the opened
machine box will reverse the cool air flow.

2.3.3 Cabinet Configuration

The following content assists you to make a proper cabinet configuration:

Each device on the cabinet gives off heat when it runs. Therefore, the sealed
cabinet must have the heat-discharge outlet and the cooling fan. Do not put the
devices too close, avoiding bad ventilation.

When you install the machine box at the open cabinet, prevent the frame of the
cabinet from blocking the airway of the machine box.

Ensure that nice ventilation is provided for the devices installed at the bottom of
the cabinet.

The clapboard separates exhaust gas and inflow air, and boost the cool air to
flow in the machine box. The best location of the clapboard is decided by the air

-7-

flow mode in the machine box, which can be obtained through different location
tests.

2.3.4 Power Requirements

Make sure that the power supply has nice grounding and the power at the input side of
the switch is reliable. The voltage control can be installed if necessary. At least a 240 V,
10A fuse or a breaker is provided in the phase line if you prepare the short-circuit
prevention measures for a building.

Caution:

If the power supply system does not have good grounding, or the input power disturbs too much
and excessive pulses exist, the error code rate of communication devices increases and even the
hardware system will be damaged.

2.4 Installation Tools and Device

The tools and devices to install the BDCOM S2508B switch are not provided by the
BDCOM S2508B switch. You yourself need to prepare them. The following are the tools

The console port of the BDCOM S2508B switch does not support traffic control. Therefore,
you must set the option data traffic control to none when you configure the switch with the
super terminal. Otherwise, the single-pass problem will arise on the super terminal.

Otherwise, the single-pass problem will arise on the super terminal. The cable is used
to connect the console port of the BDCOM S2508B switch and the outside console
terminal device. One end of the cable is a 8-pin RJ45 plug and the other end is a
9-hole plug (DB9). The RJ45 plug is put into the socket of the console port on the
BDCOM S2508B switch. The inner line connection in the cable is shown in figure 3-5.
The console cable is numbered as RLC0301.

Figure 3-5 Cable connection at the console port

3.3.2 Connecting the 1000M Ethernet SFP Port

BDCOM S2508B provides 12 1000M SFP ports. The upper indicators of the ports are
used to indicate the LINK state of the port, while the bottom indicators of the ports are
used to indicate the ACT state of the port. You can insert the SFP module and then
connect it to other Ethernet terminal devices through the optical fiber if you want to use
the 1000M SFP port.

- 12 -

3.3.3 Connecting the Ethernet Electrical Port

The BDCOM S2508B switch has four 10/100/1000Base-TX ports. Each electrical port
uses the two indicators corresponding to those of the SFP port, indicating the LINK/ACT
state of the port. You can connect other Ethernet terminal devices to the UTP port
through the cut-through or cross network cable. The numbering order of the pins in the
UTP port is the same as the console port.

Figure 3-6 RJ-45 connector of the console port

Because four 10/100/1000Base-T ports of BDCOM S2508B support the MDI/MDIX
auto-identification of the cable, BDCOM S2508B can adopt five classes of
direct-through/cross network cables when it connects other Ethernet terminals.

Chapter 4 Hardware Fault Analysis

The part describes how to remove the fault from the switch.

4.0 Fault Separation

The key for resolving the systematic faults is to separate the fault from the system. You
can compare what the system is doing with what the system should do to detect the fault.
You need to check the following subsystems:

Power and cooling systems—power and fan

Port, cable and connection—ports on the front template of the switch and the
cables connecting these ports

4.0.0 Faults Relative with Power and Cooling System

Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:

When the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check whether the fan works
normally. If the fan does not work well, check the fan.

If the switch is too hot, check whether the air outlet and air inlet are clean and
then do relative operations in section 2.3 “Requirements for Common Locations”.
The working temperature of the switch is from 0 to 40 Celsius degrees.

If the switch cannot be started and the PWR indicator is off, check the power.

4.0.0 Faults Relative with Port, Cable and Connection

Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:

If the port of the switch cannot be linked, check whether the cable is correctly
connected and whether the peer connection is normal.

If the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check the power source and the
power cable.

If the console port does not work after the system is started up, check whether
the console port is set to a baud rate of 9600 bps, eight data bits, no sum check
bit, one stop bit and no traffic control.
