Power Distribution
The Switch 7750 power distribution box is installed on the chassis floor in the back
of the chassis. It filters, connects, disconnects and distributes electrical current to
the switch.
The power distribution box for the 4-slot chassis has two inputs and each input
has a separate ON/OFF switch. One input can support the normal operation of one
power module. Both AC inputs must be connected and switched on to provide
power to both power modules and to offer N+1 AC power redundancy. When
two power modules are installed but only one AC power input is working, only
one power module will operate. However, the Power Module LEDs on the Fabric
display alarm information for the power module that is not working.
The power distribution box for the 7-slot chassis has two inputs and two ON/OFF
switches. One input can support the normal operation of three AC power modules
at the same time. When both AC power inputs are connected and switched on,
the power distribution box offers N+1 AC power redundancy.
External PoE Power
System
The Switch 7750 supports power-over-Ethernet (PoE). When the Switch 7750 is
equipped with an external PoE power system and PoE-capable I/O modules, it can
provide -48 V DC power to remote powered devices (PDs), such as IP phones,
WLAN APs, and network cameras through twisted pair cable.

Cables
Connecting Electrical Port Cables
The 48-port 10/100BASE-T module and 8-port 10/100/1000BASE-T module
require a RJ-45 connector and category-5 twisted pair cable. See “Electrical Port
pinout details.
Use the following steps to connect the port:
1 Plug one end of the straight-through cable into the Ethernet RJ-45 port of the
switch.
2 Plug the other end of the straight-through cable into the RJ-45 port of the hub or
LAN Switch.
Ports on 48-port 10/100BASE-T and 8-port 10/100/1000BASE-T modules support
MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing.
Connecting Optical Fiber Cables
The following modules require fiber optic cables:
■
■
■
24-port 100BASE-FX MMF FE module
20-port 1000BASE-X-SFP module
1000BASE-SX-MM, 1000BASE-LX-SM-IR, and 1000BASE-LX-SM optional GBIC
modules for the 4-port 1000BASE-X-GBIC submodule
When connecting optical fiber cables, use the fiber connectors that are
appropriate for the optical port type of the peer equipment that is connected to
for illustrations of the fiber optic cable connectors.
Single-mode optical fiber cable is used for external connections of the single-mode
optical port. Multi-mode optical fiber cable is used for external connections of the
multi-mode optical port.
Before connecting the optical fiber cable, make sure the type of the connector and
the optical fiber cable are consistent with the optical port type.
WARNING: When a connector is not inserted in the optical port or when its
dustproof cover is open, invisible radiation can escape from the optical port. Do
not stare into the optical port directly. Cover the optical port if there is no
connector plugged in.
SC fiber connector
The 8-port 1000BASE-X GBIC module requires an SC optical fiber connector.
To attach the SC fiber connector:
1 Plug one end of the SC fiber connector into the optical port in the module.
2 Connect the other end of the connector to the corresponding device.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SWITCH 7750
CAUTION: When connecting an SC fiber connector, the switch TX must be
connected to the RX of the device on the network, and the switch RX must be
connected to the TX of the device on the network.
MT-RJ fiber connector
The 24-port 100BASE-FX MMF FE module requires an MT-RJ optical fiber
connector.
To attach the MT-RJ fiber connector:
1 Plug the MT-RJ fiber connector in the optical port into the module.
2 Connect the other end of the fiber connector to the corresponding device.
Installing
Cabling
This section describes how to install and bind cables for your Switch 7750.
Bench-Mounted Switch If you have installed your chassis on a bench, all interface cables run on the left
side of the chassis in the cabling channel, and the chassis power cords run by the
rear chassis panel.
Rack-Mounted Switch If you have installed your switch in a 19-inch standard rack, the cables are bound
on the cable binding rack at the left side of the chassis and arranged to run on the
cable rack or under a raised floor. Collect all the transit data signal cable
connectors and locate them on the floor of the chassis. Power cords run out of the
rear left of the chassis and on a cable rack or under a raised floor.
Cable Binding Keep the following precautions in mind as you bind cables:
■
Do not allow cables to twist or bend as you bind them.
■
The cable body cannot be bent at an angle that is more than twice its diameter.
The cable running out of a connector cannot be bent more than five times its
diameter.
■
Different types of cables (power cord, signal cable, and ground wire) should
not be bound together in a cabinet. Although different types of cable may
cross over each other, they must not be bound together where they cross. For
parallel cabling, the space between a power cord and a signal cable should be
no less than 30 mm (1.25 in).
■
■
The cable binding rack and cable channel inside and outside a cabinet should
be smooth.
The hole through which a cable runs through should be smooth or have a
rubber grommet.
■
■
Use plastic cabling ties to bind the cables.
Bind cables before bending them. Ensure that no tie binds the bent part of any
cables to prevent the core of the cable from breaking.
■
■
Do not tie power cables to the guides of any mobile components.
For the cable terminals fixed with screws, the screws or nuts should be
fastened securely.
■
Do not use tapping screws to fasten the cabling terminals.

Upgrading Software The Xmodem protocol transmits files through serial ports and supports both
Using Xmodem 128-byte and 1K-byte packets. Xmodem also supports two types of check; normal
checksum and CRC. When there is a packet error, retransmission is supported,
normally 10 times.
The Xmodem protocol completes transmission by receiving and sending programs.
The receiving program first sends the negotiating characters to negotiate the
check means. After passing the negotiation, the sending program begins to send
the packet.
The receiving program checks the packet according to the negotiated means after
receiving a complete packet. The acknowledgement characters are sent after
passing the check and then the sending program continues to send the next

Upgrading Software TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that is used
Using TFTP without complex interaction between clients and servers.
The client initiates a TFTP transmission. To download files, the client sends a read
request packet to the TFTP server, receives the packet from the server, and sends
the acknowledgement to the server. To upload files, the client sends a write
request packet to the TFTP server, sends the data packet to the server, and receives
the acknowledgement from the server.
The Switch 7750 provides the functions of the TFTP client.

WARNING: Do not power on the switch until you reconnect all the components.
Replacing a Power
Supply
To replace a power supply, you need:
■
An antistatic wrist strap
A screwdriver
■
WARNING: When installing or replacing the power supply when the power is on,
do not touch any naked wire, terminal, or any other part of the product labeled
Dangerous Voltage. Always wear the antistatic wrist strap when replacing the
supply.
Use the following steps to replace a power supply:
1 Loosen the captive screws in the supply that you want to replace.
2 Support the power supply you are removing with one hand and gently pull the
handle with the other hand until it slides out of the slot.
3 If you are not going to install another power supply in this slot, install a blanking
plate on the chassis for dust-proofing and heat dissipation.
4 Remove the new power supply from the package and check the input mode.
5 Support the power supply in one hand and hold the handle with another hand.
Align the supply with the guides in the chassis and slide the supply gently into the
slot.
CAUTION: As you are inserting the power supply, if the pin terminal springs up,
the pin cannot be seated into the hole and the system will sound an alarm. If the
power supply has not been inserted properly, you should slide it out and insert it
again to avoid breaking or cracking the power terminals.
6 Fasten the captive screws.
CAUTION: If the captive screws cannot be fastened, the power supply may not
have been properly seated. Remove and replace the supply.
Over time, the filter on the power supply accumulates dust, which interferes with
the heat dissipation of the chassis. It is important to periodically clean the filter as
described below:
1 Remove the gauze filter by gently pulling it from the front of the power supply.
2 Take the filter to a fresh water supply and clean it.
3 Leave the filter to dry. Do not use heat to dry the filter as this may cause it to
distort.
4 When the filter is completely dry, gently push it back into the front of the power
module.
CAUTION: Do not clean the filter while it is in position at the front of the power
supply. Attempts to do so could result in damage to the equipment or severe
electrical shock.
