Matters That Require Attention

  1. Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
    NOTE In order to ensure reliable operations, please make sure the operating temperature of the environment does not exceed the spec. When mounting a rack-mounted switch with other operating units in a cabinet without forced ventilation, it is recommended that 1U of space is reserved between each rack mounted switch and/or device.
  2. Required Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
  3. Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
  4. Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
  5. Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

⚠ ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Ethernet Switch. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, which can cause serious damage to your equipment.

⚠ WARNING
When end users are using Optical SFP Communications modules, these must be limited to Laser Class 1.

Connecting the Power Inputs
NOTE The required power module depends on the choice of LM-7000H module. Refer to the following power/module combination requirements.

  • LM-7000H non-PoE modules: Any power module
  • LM-7000H PoE modules: PWR-HV-P48-A, PWR-LV-P48-A only

The MDS-G4000-4XGS/MDS-G4000-L3-4XGS Series supports 4 types of power supply:

  • PWR-HV-P48-A: one 110/220 VAC/VDC (90 to 264 VAC, 88 to 300 VDC), one 48 VDC PoE power input for PoE+ ports.
  • PWR-LV-P48-A: one 24/48 VDC (18 to 72 VDC), one 48 VDC PoE power input for PoE+ ports.

Installing and Removing the Ethernet Modules

The Ethernet modules are hot-swappable for the same module type. You can mount or remove the Ethernet module while the device is operating.
NOTE

  1. When performing a cold start, you cannot remove and insert a module before the device has fully booted up as this will cause the module to fail initialization.
  2. The default module is 4XGS. If this is the first time mounting a 4TX or SFP module, please reboot the switch after inserting it. The hot-swappable function, as defined above, will work after the device is rebooted for the first time.
  3. When swapping out a slotted module with a different type of module, it is recommended to reconfigure the settings or reset the device to factory default settings after rebooting the switch.

The installation procedure is as follows:

  1. Insert the Ethernet module straight into the slot
  2. Fasten the module to the device by tightening the 2 screws. The tightening torque is 3.5 kgf-cm (0.35 Nm)

The removal procedure is as follows:

  1. Loosen the 2 screws of the module
  2. Pull the module out of the slot
  3. Insert the dummy module into the slot in order to have better protection against dust and EMI
  4. Fasten the dummy module using the 2 screws. The tightening torque is 4 kgf-cm (0.4 Nm)

MOXA MDS-G4000-4XGS Layer 2 Managed Switches Installation Guide - USB Storage Connection

The Reset Button (diameter 0.9 mm)
The reset button can perform two functions. One is to reset the switch to factory default settings and the other is to reboot the switch if the button has been depressed and release immediately.

Resetting to Factory Default Settings

Depress the Reset button for five seconds to load the factory default settings. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or needle (the diameter must not exceed 0.9 mm), to depress the Reset button. When you do so, the STATE LED will start to blink about four times per second. Continue to depress the STATE LED until it begins blinking more rapidly; this indicates that the button has been depressed for five seconds and you can release the Reset button to load factory default settings.

NOTE Do NOT power off the switch when loading default settings.
