Connecting the Power Converter to an AC Power Source

These sections describe the steps required to connect the power converter to an AC power source:

■Preparing the AC Power Connection

■Connecting the AC Power Source to the Power Converter

Preparing the AC Power Connection

To connect the power converter to an AC power source, you need an AC power cord. Power cord connector types and standards vary by country. Power-cord wiring color codes also vary by country. You must have a qualified electrician select, prepare, and install the appropriate power cord to the power supply.

Use copper conductors only, rated at a minimum temperature of 167°F (75°C).

This section does not apply to PWR-IE50W-AC-IEC, which has pluggable IEC connector.

Connecting the AC Power Source to the Power Converter

Caution: AC power sources must be dedicated AC branch circuits. Each branch circuit must be protected by a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker.

Caution: Do not turn on AC power until the wiring is secured.

1. Remove the plastic cover from the input power terminals and set it aside.

2. Insert the exposed ground wire lead into the power converter ground wire connection.

Ensure that only wire with insulation extends from the connector. See Figure 20, item 1. Note that the position of the power converter may vary on different switch models.

Figure 20 Connecting AC Power

3. Tighten the ground wire terminal block screw.

Note: Torque to 8 in.-lb, not to exceed 10 in-lb.

Wiring the External Alarms

The switch has two alarm input and one alarm output relay circuits for external alarms. The alarm input circuits are designed to sense if the alarm input is open or closed relative to the alarm input reference pin. Each alarm input can be configured as an open or closed contact. The alarm output relay circuit has a normally open and a normally closed contact.

Alarm signals are connected to the switch through the six-pin alarm connector. Three connections are dedicated to the two alarm input circuits: alarm input 1, alarm input 2, and a reference ground. An alarm input and the reference ground wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm input circuit. The three remaining connections are for the alarm output circuit: a normally open output, a normally closed output, and a common signal. An alarm output and the common wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm output circuit.

The labels for the alarm connector are on the switch panel and are displayed in Table 13.

Warning: Explosion Hazard—Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1081

Caution: The input voltage source of the alarm output relay circuit must be an isolated source and limited to less than or equal to 24 VDC, 1.0 A or 48 VDC, 0.5 A.

Note: Wire connections to the power and alarm connectors must be UL- and CSA-rated, style 1007 or 1569 twisted-pair copper appliance wiring material (AWM) wire (such as Belden part number 9318).

To wire the switch to an external alarm device, follow these steps:

1. Remove the captive screws that hold the alarm connector on the switch, and remove the connector from the switch chassis.

Figure 35 Removing the Alarm Connector

2. Measure two strands of twisted-pair wire (18-to-20 AWG) long enough to connect to the external alarm device.

You can choose between setting up an external alarm input or output circuit.

3. Use a wire stripper to remove the casing from both ends of each wire to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm).

Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wires. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the alarm connector after installation.

4. Insert the exposed wires for the external alarm device into the connections based on an alarm input or output circuit setup (see Table 13).

For example, to wire an alarm input circuit, complete the IN1 and REF connections (See Figure 36).

Figure 36 Inserting Wires into the Alarm Connector (Alarm Input Circuit)

5. Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the alarm connector captive screw (above the installed wire leads) to 2 in-lb (0.23 N-m). (See Figure 37.)

Note: Do not over-torque the power and alarm connectors’ captive screws. Do not exceed 2 inch-lbs (0.23 N-m) torque.

Figure 37 Securing the Alarm Connector Captive Screws

6. Repeat the above steps to insert the input and output wires of one additional external alarm device into the alarm connector.

Figure 38 shows the completed wiring for two external alarm devices. The first alarm device circuit is wired as an alarm input circuit; the IN1 and REF connections complete the circuit. The second alarm device circuit is wired as an alarm output circuit that works on a normally open contact basis; the NO and COM connections complete the circuit.

Attaching the Alarm Connector to the Switch

Warning: Failure to securely tighten the captive screws can result in an electrical arc if the connector is accidentally removed. Statement 397

Warning: When you connect or disconnect the power and/or alarm connector with power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that all power is removed from the switch and any other circuits. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1058

To attach the alarm connector to the front panel of the switch:

1. Insert the alarm connector into the receptacle on the switch front panel. See Figure 39.

Figure 39 Connecting the Alarm Connector to the Switch

2. Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the sides of the alarm connector.

Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

The switch 10/100/1000 ports automatically configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.

Warning: Do not connect or disconnect cables to the ports while power is applied to the switch or any device on the network because an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed from the switch and cannot be accidentally be turned on, or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1070

To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:

■Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

■Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

The models that support PoE provide up to four ports of either PoE (15.4 W per port; IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (30 W per port; IEEE 802.3at), depending on the power source used. For more information, see .

Caution: To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow standard board and component handling procedures.

To connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices, follow these steps:

1. When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP phones, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. See Figure 40.

When connecting to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, use a twisted four-pair, CAT5 or higher cable.

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Software Configuration Guide or the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference.

Figure 40 Connecting to an Ethernet Port

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device.

The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device establish the link.

The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on:

–The device at the other end might not be turned on.

–There might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. For solutions to cabling problems, see Troubleshooting

3. Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the switch. Field-replaceable SFP modules provide the uplink interfaces, send (TX) and receive (RX).

You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. See Table 2 for a list of supported modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See Table 2 for cable stipulations for SFP module connections.

Caution: When you use commercial SFP modules such as CWDM and 1000BX-U/D, reduce the maximum operating temperature by 59°F (15°C). The minimum operating temperature is 32°F (0°C).

Caution: To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow standard board and component handling procedures.

Warning: Do not insert and remove SFP modules while power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1087

Figure 41 shows an LC SFP module with a bale-clasp latch.

Caution: Do not install or remove the LC SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached because of potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module. Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Figure 41 LC SFP Module with Open Bale-Clasp Latch

Figure 42 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot

Installing LC SFP Modules

To insert an LC SFP module into the SFP module slot:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

2. Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the correct side of the SFP module.

On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).

3. Align the SFP module sideways in front of the slot opening.

4. Insert the SFP module into the slot until the connector on the module snaps into place in the rear of the slot. See Figure 42.

5. Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports and store them for later use.

Caution: Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

6. Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.

Installing 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

The 1000BASE-T (copper) SFP transceiver, see Figure 43, has a bale-clasp locking mechanism that secures the transceiver in the module socket. An RJ-45 connector provides the transceiver's interface point to the network.

Figure 43 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver

Caution: To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair, CAT5 cabling.

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair, straight-through CAT5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover CAT5 cabling.

To install a 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector on the chassis or to a properly grounded bare metal surface.

Caution: To avoid ESD damage, handle the SFP by its sides; do not touch the connector pins.

2. Remove the new 1000BASE-T SFP module from its protective packaging.

3. Check the markings on the SFP transceiver to verify that you have the correct model for your network.

4. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the port socket opening.

Note: Different Cisco devices have different SFP transceiver socket configurations. Your Cisco device might require that the SFP transceiver be installed with the bale-clasp either in a latch-up or a latch-down orientation. Verify that the SFP transceiver is oriented correctly when you position it in front of the port socket.

5. With the bale-clasp closed (locked), slide the SFP transceiver into the socket until you feel it snap in place in the socket. You may hear an audible click as the SFP transceiver latch engages in the socket (Figure 42).

6. Connect the network interface cable RJ-45 plug to the SFP RJ-45 connector.

7. Observe the port status LED:

–Green indicates that the SFP transceiver and the target device established a link.

–Amber indicates that the port is discovering the network topology and searching for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.

–Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. Refer to Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

2. Disconnect the LC from the SFP module.

3. Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

4. Unlock and remove the SFP module.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch. See Figure 44.

Figure 44 Opening a Bale-Clasp Latch on an SFP Module Using a Flat-Blade Screwdriver

5. Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.

6. Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

–The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

–If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

5. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or the target device.

Connecting to a 1000BASE-T SFP Module

Follow these steps to connect a CAT5 cable to a 1000BASE-T SFP module:

1. When connecting to servers, workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, use a four twisted-pair CAT5 cable.

2. Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.

3. Observe the port status LED.

–The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

–The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

–If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

4. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

The dual-purpose port is a single port with two interfaces, one for an RJ-45 cable and another for an SFP module. Only one interface can be active at a time. If both interfaces are connected, the SFP module has priority. For more information about dual-purpose ports, see Power Connectors.

Warning: Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Caution: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Caution: Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in Preparing for Installation. See Cable and Connectors for information about the LC on the SFP module.

To connect to a dual-purpose port, follow these steps:

1. Connect an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable to the SFP module port. See Figure 46.

For more information about RJ-45 connections, SFP modules, and optical connections, see Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports, Installing and Removing SFP Modules, and Connecting to SFP Modules.

Figure 46 Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the other device.

By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose port and configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize only an RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media typ e interface configuration command. For more information, see the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference.
