4.1. Nwụnye anụ ahụ

The MSN3700C switch is designed for rail mounting, suitable for standard server racks.

1. Attach the provided rail kit to the server rack according to the rail kit instructions.
2. Carefully slide the switch onto the installed rails until it clicks into place.
3. Secure the switch to the rack using the appropriate screws.

4.2. Njikọ ike

Connect the two AC power supplies to the switch and then to a grounded power source.

• Insert each power supply unit into its designated slot on the switch.
• Connect the power cables from the power supply units to separate, grounded AC outlets for redundancy.
• Verify that the power indicator LEDs on the switch illuminate.

4.3. Njikọ netwọkụ

The switch features 32 SFP+ ports for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

• Insert compatible SFP+ transceivers into the desired ports.
• Connect optical fiber cables from the transceivers to your network devices (servers, other switches).
• The ports can be split to support up to 128x 10/25GbE ports using appropriate splitter cables and transceivers.

5. Ntuziaka ọrụ

5.1. Basic arụmọrụ

The MSN3700C supports comprehensive Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching capabilities.

• Layer-2 Switching: Facilitates efficient data forwarding within a local network segment.
• Layer-3 Switching: Enables routing between different network segments and subnets.

5.2. Advanced Atụmatụ

The switch incorporates advanced features for modern data center networking:
