Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4500 Ethernet Switch Quick Start To install and configure a Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4500 Ethernet Switch (regulatory model number EX4500) on a two-post 19-inch rack or cabinet, you need: z Two mounting brackets and 20 mounting screws (provided)z A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 z 8 rack-mount screws—and 8 cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them—of the appropriate size and type to secure the chassis to your rack or cabinet (provided) z A flat-blade (-) screwdriver if you are installing the switch in a rack with square, nonthreaded holes z A jumper cable and cord retainer for each power supply (provided) z For Virtual Chassis connection, one or more Virtual Chassis cables and cable connector retainers z A grounding cable—14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum 90°C wire—with appropriate grounding lug attached by a licensed electrician, for grounding points 0.625 in. (15.86 mm) apart z Two 10-32 x.1/4-in. screws with split washers to secure the grounding lug to the switch z An Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector attached (provided)z A management host with an Ethernet port, such as a PC or laptop NOTE: For four-post rack or cabinet installation and other information, see the Dell PowerConnect J-EX4500 switch documentation at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals.

Part 1: Install a Power Supply in the Switch (If It Is Not

1. Ensure that you have the correct power supply:

− Verify that the ejector lever and the arrows on the fan tray handles on the back of the switch all point in the same direction. − Verify that power supply and fan tray labels match—all say EXHAUST or INTAKE. CAUTION: Operating the switch with an incorrect power supply might cause the switch to overheat.

2. Taking care not to touch power supply pins, leads, or solder connections, remove the

power supply from the bag.

3. Using both hands, place the power supply in the power supply slot on the back panel

of the switch and slide it in until it is fully seated.

4. Repeat these steps for a second power supply, if needed.

Part 2: Mount the Switch

NOTE: A switch can weigh up to 40 lb (18 kg) depending on the components that are installed. Installation requires one person to lift the switch and a second person to secure it to the rack.

1. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and

maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.

2. If your site has hot and cold aisle requirements, check the labels on the back of the

switch to determine whether to front-mount or back-mount the chassis: − EXHAUST—Hot air exits the fan tray and power supplies (front-to-back airflow). − INTAKE—Hot air exits the front of the chassis (back-to-front airflow). NOTE: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.

3. Determine the location on the rack where you want to mount the switch.

4. If your rack requires cage nuts, install a round-hole cage nut (clip nut) or square-hole

cage nut—and a washer—in 4 appropriately spaced holes at the same level on each rack post. g021064 g020849a

5. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.

6. Align the mounting brackets along the front or back of the chassis side panels

depending on whether you are front-mounting or back-mounting the switch.

7. Attach the mounting brackets to the chassis with the mounting screws, and tighten

8. Have one person grasp both sides of the switch to lift it and position it in the rack,

aligning the mounting bracket holes with the holes in the rack posts so that the bottom hole in each bracket lines up with a hole at the same level in each rack post.

9. Have a second person install a rack-mount screw in each hole to secure the switch to

10. After ensuring that the chassis is level, tighten the screws.

Part 3: Connect the Switch to Earth Ground

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in

which the switch is mounted.

2. Place the grounding lug attached to the grounding cable over the protective earthing

terminal on the left side of the chassis (toward the back), and secure the lug to the terminal by tightening the screws and washers.

Part 4: Attach the Jumper Cable to the Power Supply

1. Squeeze the two sides of the jumper cable retainer clip, and insert the L-shaped ends

of the wire clip into the holes in the bracket on each side of the AC appliance inlet.

2. Insert the coupler end of the jumper cable into the AC appliance inlet.

3. Push the retainer clip toward the cord until the cord slides into the slot in the

4. Turn the nut until it is tight against the base of the coupler and the slot in the nut is

turned 90° from the top of the switch.

5. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (0) position.

6. Repeat these steps for a second power supply, if needed.

NOTE: Do not power on the switch at this time. You will do so as part of initial configuration. Power-on timing is particularly important for Virtual Chassis configurations because power-on order helps determine mastership.

Part 5: Determine How You Will Operate Your J-EX4500

Switch z Standalone—To operate your J-EX4500 as a standalone switch, go to Part 6 on page 3 to connect power and perform initial configuration. z J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis—To create a Virtual Chassis with another J-EX4500 switch, go to Part 7 on page 4. z Mixed Virtual Chassis—To create a Virtual Chassis with up to eight J-EX4200 switches and up to one other J-EX4500 switch, go to Part 8 on page 4.

4IGHTEN ADJUSTMENT NUT 2ETAINER CLIP !DJUSTMENT NUTDell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4500 Ethernet Switch Quick Start—page 3 CAUTION: Although J-EX4500 switches are shipped with the Virtual Chassis module installed, Virtual Chassis operation requires preparation in addition to hardware connection. Do not physically connect multiple switches in a Virtual Chassis before reading the appropriate instructions. You can also add your J-EX4500 switch to an existing J-EX4200 Virtual Chassis or mixed J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis. For instructions, see the Dell PowerConnect J-EX Series documentation at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals. NOTE: You can configure and manage a standalone J-EX4500 switch with the J-Web interface, but the J-Web interface does not support configuration and management of a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis or a mixed Virtual Chassis.

Part 6: Power On the Switch and Perform Initial Configuration

NOTE: If your switch will be part of a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis, go first to Part 7 on page 4. For a mixed Virtual Chassis, go first to Part 8 on page 4. Read through the following steps before you begin the configuration:

1. Insert the jumper cable plug into the power source outlet on the switch.

2. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the ON (|) position.

3. Verify that the LED on each power supply glows steadily green for normal operation.

4. Enable a DHCP client on the management PC or laptop you will connect to the switch

so that the management device can obtain an IP address dynamically.

5. Become familiar with the LCD panel, Menu and Enter buttons, and status LEDs.

The LCD panel displays a count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode. You must complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. After

minutes, the switch exits EZSetup and reverts to the factory default configuration, and the PC or laptop loses connectivity to the switch

6. Transition the switch into initial setup mode:

− Press the Menu button until you see MAINTENANCE MENU. Then press the Enter button. − Press the Menu button until you see EZSetup. Then press the Enter button. If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the menu, select Factory Default to return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed in the menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration. − Press the Enter button to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.

7. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the PC or laptop to the MGMT

port ( me0) on the front panel of the switch. The me0 interface (the port labeled MGMT) is configured as the DHCP server with the default IP address

192.168.1.1. The switch can assign an IP address to the

management PC or laptop in the range

192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.253.

8. From the PC or laptop, open a Web browser, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address

field, and press the Enter key.

9. On the J-Web Login page, enter root as the username, leave the password field

SSH, and SNMP services. For SNMP, you can configure the read community, location, and contact.

15. Click Next. The Summary page displays the settings you have selected.

16. Click Finish. The configuration is committed as the active switch configuration.

NOTE: If connectivity between the management PC or laptop and the switch is lost, reconnect by entering the appropriate commands on the PC or laptop to release and renew the IP address—or remove and reinsert the Ethernet cable.

17. For standalone operation only, log in to the command-line interface (CLI) and set the

mode to intraconnect: user@switch> request chassis pic-mode intraconnect For standalone operation only, verify that the green ST (status) LED on the Virtual Chassis module is on steadily and that the VC MODE LED is off.

18. Observe the amber ALM (alarm) LED to the right of the LCD panel.

A lit amber (minor) alarm LED is normal. It indicates that the switch has no rescue configuration set. To save the current configuration as a rescue configuration that you can return to with the rollback command, log in to the CLI and enter user@switch> request system configuration rescue saveDell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4500 Ethernet Switch Quick Start—page 4

Part 7: Create a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis with Two J-EX4500

1. Verify that both J-EX4500 switches are running the same version of the Junos

operating system (Junos OS).

2. With a Virtual Chassis cable and cable connector retainer, interconnect the J-EX4500

switches using a dedicated Virtual Chassis port (VCP) on the back of each switch.

3. Write down the serial numbers of the switches to be connected in the Virtual Chassis,

and select a master switch to power on and configure first.

4. On the master switch only, connect power and perform initial configuration. See

management Ethernet (VME) interface for out-of-band management of the Virtual Chassis: user@switch> configure user@switch# set interfaces vme unit 0 family inet address ip-address

6. On the master switch, specify the preprovisioned configuration mode, assign both

switches the routing-engine role, and commit the configuration: user@switch# edit virtual-chassis user@switch# set preprovisioned user@switch# set member 0 serial-number serial-number role routing-engine user@switch# set member 1 serial-number serial-number role routing-engine user@switch# commit

7. Power on the other J-EX4500 switch—no initial configuration is necessary—and

verify that the LED on each power supply glows steadily green for normal operation.

8. On the master switch, verify that the green MST (master) LED to the right of the LCD

panel is on steadily.

9. On both switches in the Virtual Chassis, verify that the green ST (status) and VC

MODE LEDs on the Virtual Chassis module are on steadily

Part 8. Create a Mixed J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis

CAUTION: Do not physically connect multiple switches in a Virtual Chassis before reading these instructions. Your switch can be part of a Virtual Chassis configuration of as many as eight J-EX4200 switches and one other J-EX4500 switch. A J-EX4500 switch must be the master. These instructions show you how to configure two J-EX4500 switches and two J-EX4200 switches—none are current Virtual Chassis members—in a preprovisioned configuration. We highly recommend preprovisioning for a mixed Virtual Chassis.

1. Ensure that both J-EX4200 switches for the mixed Virtual Chassis are initially

configured. See the Dell PowerConnect J-EX4200 switch documentation at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals.

2. Verify that the J-EX4200 switches and J-EX4500 switches to be connected in the

mixed Virtual Chassis are all running the same version of Junos OS.

3. Write down the serial numbers of the switches to be connected in the Virtual Chassis,

and select a J-EX4500 switch as the master switch.

4. Power on the J-EX4500 master switch first, and then power on the other J-EX4500

member switch. For a switch not previously configured, see Part 6 on page 3.

5. Set both J-EX4500 switches to mixed Virtual Chassis mode, and reboot each switch:

user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed user@switch> request system reboot

6. Power on both J-EX4200 Virtual Chassis member switches.

7. Set both J-EX4200 switches to mixed Virtual Chassis mode, and reboot each switch:

user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed user@switch> request system reboot

8. (Optional) Log back in to the master switch, enter configuration mode, and configure

both J-EX4500 members (including the master) the routing-engine role: user@switch# edit virtual-chassis user@switch# set preprovisioned user@switch# set member member-id-1 serial-number serial-number-1 role routing-engine user@switch# set member member-id-2 serial-number serial-number-2 role routing-engine

10. On the master switch, continue preprovisioning by assigning both J-EX4200

members the linecard role, then commit the configuration: user@switch# set member member-id-3 serial-number serial-number-3 role linecard user@switch# set member member-id-4 serial-number serial-number-4 role linecard user@switch# commit

11. With four Virtual Chassis cables and cable connector retainers, interconnect the four

switches using the dedicated VCPs on the back of each switch.

12. On the master switch:

− Verify that the green MST (master) LED to the right of the LCD panel is on steadily. − Verify that the green ST (status) and VC MODE LEDs on the Virtual Chassis module are both on steadily.

13. On the other J-EX4500 member switch, verify that the green MST LED is blinking

and that the green ST and VC MODE LEDs are on steadily.

14. On both J-EX4200 line card members, verify that the MST LED to the right of the

LCD panel is off. Safety Warnings Summary This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including translations, see the Dell PowerConnect J-EX4500 switch documentation at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals.

WARNING: Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in personal

injury or death. z Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components. z Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the J-EX4500 switch documentation. Only authorized service personnel must perform other services. z Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the J-EX4500 switch documentation to make sure that the site meets power, environmental, and clearance requirements for the switch. z Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in the J-EX4500 switch documentation. z A J-EX4500 switch with one power supply weighs 37 lb (17 kg). With two power supplies, the switch weighs 40 lb (18 kg). Installing the switch in a rack requires one person to lift the switch and a second person to install mounting screws. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. z If the rack has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or servicing the switch in the rack. z Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it component-side up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag. z Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms. z Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals. Contacting Dell Inc. For technical support, see http://www.support.dell.com.
