3 Site preparations The N3200-ON Series switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN). You can install the switch in: ● Network telecommunication facilities ● Data centers ● Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any additional components such as cables or optics.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Switch ground Dell Technologies recommends you ground your switch. Use the N3200-ON Series switch in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in N3200-ON Series switch installation.
CAUTION: On an AC switch, use the power cable as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located and installed near the equipment and is accessible. NOTE: Software controls the module power. You do not see module LEDs when the switch powers up in ONIE. Storing components If you do not install your N3200-ON Series switch and components immediately, properly store the switch and all components using these guidelines: ● Storage location temperature must remain constant.
4 N3200-ON Series switch installation To install the N3200-ON Series switch, complete the installation procedures in the order that is presented in this chapter. Always handle the switch and components with care. Avoid dropping the switch or its field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the N3200-ON Series switch and components.
Unpacking Steps Unpack the system carefully. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container. Open the container, or remove the container top. Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface. Remove all packing material. Inspect the product and accessories for damage.
The ground lug ships with the optionally ordered DC version PSUs. The AC-no-OS version of the N3248PXE-ON switch, which you must special order, also ships with the ground lug. CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use aluminum conductors. NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an antioxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny finish and coat with an antioxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.

6 Power supply The N3200-ON Series switch ships with one pluggable AC power supply. You can order a second AC PSU separately. If you require DC power, you can order one or two DC PSUs. The N3224PX-ON, N3248P-ON, and N3248PXE-ON switches also support an optional external power supply that connects to the switch using an MPS-1S or MPS-3S shelf. Use the EPS to add redundancy, or extend the PoE budget based on your requirement.
Components The following power supply options are available for the N3200-ON Series switch: ● AC or DC power supply with integrated fan ● AC or DC power supply with integrated reverse-flow fan NOTE: Reserve airflow is only supported on the N3224T-ON, N3248TE-ON, and N3248X-ON switches. For the N3200-ON Series switches, power supply 1 (PSU1) and power supply 2 (PSU2) are on the right side of the switch. PSU1 is near the center of the switch; PSU2 is on the right edge of the switch.
Figure 4. AC power cable clips PSU LEDs ● Solid green—Input is OK. ● Flashing green blink at 1 Hz—PSU is in a faulty state. ● Off—PSU is off. AC or DC power supply installation NOTE: The PSU slides into the slot smoothly. Do not force a PSU into a slot as this action may damage the PSU or the switch.

9 Installation using ONIE This section describes uninstalling an operating system and installing ONIE on your switch. For more information, see switchspecific information at www.dell.com/support. NOTE: Before you install an operating system, ensure that the switch has the most current ONIE and firmware version. To upgrade your switch, go to the Drivers and Downloads page for your switch at www.dell.com/support.
For downloading and updating ONIE from a URL ONIE: Embed ONIE For downloading and updating ONIE from a URL and erases any installed OS During the initial setup, the switch boots to ONIE Install. ONIE Install starts the discovery process. For more information, see Installation using ONIE. NOTE: For more information, see the Open Networking Hardware Diagnostic Guide for N2200-ON and N3200-ON Switches at www.dell.com/support.
After the ONIE uninstall process completes, the switch boots to ONIE: Install OS mode. Install a NOS CAUTION: Installing a NOS using ONIE erases all software configurations on the switch. The configuration settings are not recoverable. Back up all software configurations and installed licenses on the switch before performing OS updates or changes. Store a regular backup of the switch configuration off the switch.
5. Search IPv6 neighbors. 6. Start a TFTP waterfall. The ONIE automatic discovery process locates the stored software image, downloads, and installs it, and reboots the device with the new image. Autodiscovery repeats until a successful software image installation occurs and reboots the switch. ONIE discovery — Usage information ● All ONIE autodiscovery methods download and run only supported default file names, such as onie-installer.
Where a.b.c.d represents the location to download the image file from, and x.x.xx represents the version number of the software to install. The NOS installer image may create multiple partitions during the installation process. After the installation process completes, the switch automatically reboots into the new OS. Install manually using a USB drive You can manually install the NOS software image using a USB device. Verify that the USB device supports a FAT or EXT2 file system.
