Back-Panel Power Connector Console Port RPS Connector Power Connector PowerConnect 3524/3548 Rear View Console Port EPS Connector Power Connector PowerConnect 3524P/3548P Rear View10 InstallationStacking 11 Stacking Overview Each device can operate as a stand-alone device or can be a member in a stack. Up to eight devices are supported per stack. All stacks must have a Master unit, and may have a Master Backup unit, with any other devices connected to the stack as Members. Stacking PowerConnect 3500 Series Switches Each PowerConnect 3500 series stack contains a single Master unit, and may have a Master Backup unit, while the remaining units are considered stacking Members. PowerConnect 3500 series switches use the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (G3 and G4) for stacking. This enables added stacking capabilities to the devices without adding additional device accessories.

• To stack the devices together, insert a standard Category 5 cable into port G3 in the device at the top of the stack and into port G4 of the device immediately below it.

• Repeat this process until all devices are connected.

• Connect port G3 of the device at the bottom of stack to the port G4 of the device at the top of the stack.12 Stacking Figure 2-1. Stacking Cable Diagram For more information on stacking, see the Dell PowerConnect 3500 Series User's Guide on the Documentation CD. You can perform the stack unit identification on the device front-panel using the Stack ID button.Stacking 13 Figure 2-2. Stacking Configuration and Identification Panel Each stack device has a unique identifying unit ID that defines the unit’s position and function in the stack. If the device is a stand-alone unit, the Stack LED is not illuminated. The default setting is stand-alone. You can manually configure the unit ID using the Stack ID button. The unit ID is indicated by the Stack ID LEDs. Unit ID 1 and 2 are reserved for the Master and Backup Master unit, and unit ID 3 to 8 are for Member units. Stacking LEDs Stack ID Button14 Stacking Unit ID Selection Process The unit ID selection process is as follows:

Power up the device — To power up the device perform the following tasks:

Ensure that the stand-alone/Master device Console port is connected to a VT100 terminal device or VT100 terminal emulator via the RS-232 crossover cable.

Locate an AC power receptacle.

Connect the device to the AC receptacle.

Confirm that the device is connected and operating correctly by examining the LEDs on the front panel. When powering up, the configured LED number (corresponding to the previously saved unit ID) begins to flash. The LED flashes for 15 seconds. During this period, you can select a specific Stack ID by pressing the Stack ID button until the appropriate Stack ID LED is illuminated.

Selection process — To advance the stacking ID LED number, continue pressing the Stack ID button. When LED 8 is flashing, pressing the Stack ID button results in the device being configured as a standalone. Pressing the Stack ID button again advances the Stack ID to 1. Unit 1 and Unit 2 are master-enabled units; refer to the User Guide for information about the master-selection process.

End selection process — The unit ID selection process is completed when the 15-second selection period expires. The Stack ID button becomes unresponsive and the unit ID is set to the LED ID flashing at the end of the period. NOTE: Perform these steps one unit at a time until all stack members are powered up and their Stack IDs are selected. Performing the steps one unit at a time allows sufficient time to select the Stack ID for each unit. However, the entire stack should be cabled as per the "Stacking Cable Diagram" before powering up the devices.Starting and Configuring the Device 15 Starting and Configuring the Device After completing all external connections, connect a terminal to the device to configure the device. Performing the additional advanced functions are described in the Dell PowerConnect 3500 Series User's Guide on the Documentation CD. NOTE: Before proceeding further, read the release notes for this product. You can download the release notes from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. NOTE: We recommend that you obtain the most recent revision of the user documentation from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. Connecting to the Device To configure the device, the device must be connected to a console, but if the device is part of a stack, only one device called the Master unit in the whole stack needs to be connected to a terminal. You can identify the Master unit by the illuminated Master LED on the front panel of the switch. Because the stack operates as a single device, only the Master unit is configured. Connecting the Terminal to the Device The device provides a Console port that enables a connection to a terminal desktop system running terminal emulation software for monitoring and configuring the device. The Console port connector is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connector. To use the Console port, the following is required:

• VT100-compatible terminal or a desktop or portable system with a serial port and running VT100 terminal emulation software

• An RS-232 crossover cable with a female DB-9 connector for the Console port and the appropriate connector for the terminal To connect a terminal to the device Console port, perform the following tasks:

Connect the supplied RS-232 crossover cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.16 Starting and Configuring the Device

Ensure that the terminal emulation software is set as follows:

Select the appropriate serial port (serial port 1 or serial port 2) to connect to the console.

Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Widows Viste service packs.

Connect the female connector of the RS-232 crossover cable directly to the device Console port on the Master unit/stand-alone device, and tighten the captive retaining screws. The PowerConnect 3500 Series Console port is on the rear panel. Figure 3-1. Connecting to PowerConnect 3500 series Console Port NOTE: You can connect a console to the Console port on any unit in the stack, but stack management is performed only from the stack master (unit ID 1 or 2). Terminal PowerConnect Rear PanelStarting and Configuring the Device 17 Booting the Switch When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the switch goes through power- on self-test (POST). POST runs every time the device is started and checks hardware components to determine if the device is operational before completely booting. If the system detects a critical problem, the program flow stops. If POST passes successfully, a valid executable image is loaded into RAM. POST messages are displayed on the terminal and indicate test success or failure. The boot process runs approximately 90 seconds. Initial Configuration NOTE: Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product. You can download the release notes from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. NOTE: The initial configuration uses the following assumptions:

• The PowerConnect device was never configured before and is in the same state as when you received it.

• The PowerConnect device booted successfully.

• The console connection is established and the console prompt is displayed on the screen of a VT100 terminal device. The initial device configuration is through the Console port. After the initial configuration, you can manage the device either from the already connected Console port or remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration. The system prompts you to use the Set-up wizard when the device boots up for the first time or if the configuration file is empty because the device is not configured. The Setup Wizard provides guidance through the initial device configuration, and gets the device up and running as quickly as possible. NOTE: Obtain the following information from your network administrator before configuring the device:
