Before installing the switch blades The M6100 series switch blades are designed to be installed in the XCM8903 switch chassis. We recommend installing the XCM8903 chassis into a rack before installing any switch blades. For more information about how to install the XCM8903 switch chassis, see the M6100 - Campus Edge and SMB Core Chassis Switch, Blades, and Daughter Cards Hardware Installation Guide.
Install the chassis You can either rack-mount the chassis into a rack or install the chassis using the included rails. For information about installing the chassis using rails, see the Campus Edge and SMB Core Chassis Switches M6100 Series Hardware Installation Guide. To rack-mount the chassis: 1. Partially screw two of the included screws into the rack where you want the bottom of the chassis to rest. 2. Rest the bottom of the chassis’s brackets on the two screws.
4. Install the fan tray To install the fan tray: 1. Carefully slide the fan tray all the way into the fan tray bay at the rear of the chassis. The fan tray is connected to power when it has been inserted completely into the fan tray bay. 2. Screw the fan tray to the rear of the chassis using the included screws.
Install a switch blade To install a switch blade in a M6100 series chassis switch: 1. Select a slot for the switch blade. 2. Remove a blank front panel from the chassis slot, if necessary. Any unoccupied switch blade slot in the chassis must have a blank faceplate installed to ensure satisfactory protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the chassis. 3. Remove the switch blade from the antistatic packaging.
6. Using both hands, push both handles toward the center of the switch blade, as shown.

Install a power supply To install a power supply: 1. Carefully slide the power supply all the way into the power supply bay until it clicks into place. CAUTION: Do not force the power supply into the system backplane. Locking handle 2. 3. Use the locking handle to secure the power supply in the power supply bay. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install each additional power supply.
4. After you install all power supplies, connect an AC power cord to the AC input connector below each power supply. WARNING: Be sure that the source outlet is properly grounded before plugging the AC power cord into the input connector.
Install an optional PoE or UPoE card You can install an optional PoE (XCM89P) or UPoE (XCM89UP) card into the XCM8944 and XCM8948 switch blades. To install the optional PoE or UPoE card: 1. Remove the switch blade from the chassis. 2. Connect the optional card and secure it with the attached screws as shown.
Configure the switch You can manage your switch through its local browser UI or by using the command-line interface (CLI) through a console port. This guide shows you how to configure your switch using the local browser UI. It also covers using the CLI to determine a DHCP-assigned IP address or using ezconfig to assign a static IP address.
Note: Use the OoB port to manage the switch only after the switch is configured for your network. For more information about switch management using the OoB port, see the M5300, M6100, and M7100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches CLI Command Reference Manual and the M5300, M6100, and M7100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches Software Administration Manual.
• CLI. Use the command-line interface (CLI) through the mini USB console port or RJ-45 RS232 console port. You can configure the IP address manually or use the ezconfig utility (see Use the CLI to configure the IP address on page 16). • DHCP server. Connect a DHCP server through the OOB port or through any Ethernet network port and find the assigned IP address (see Find the IP address assigned by the DHCP server on page 18).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet network port on the switch or to the OOB port on the switch. 3. Launch a web browser and enter the default IP address of the switch in the address field of the browser: • For access over an Ethernet network port, enter 169.254.100.100. • For access over the OOB port, enter 192.168.0.239. A login window displays. 4. Enter admin for the user name, leave the password field blank, and click the LOGIN button.
Use the CLI to configure the IP address To use the CLI for initial configuration and assign a static or dynamic IP address to the switch, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal to one of the console ports on the switch. 1. Depending on the connector type at your computer or terminal, and the port that you are using on the switch, use one of the following cables, both of which are included in the product package: • USB console cable for use with the mini USB console port.
5. At the user prompt, log in to the switch using the user name admin and press Enter. At the password prompt, do not type a password but press Enter. You can now use the CLI to manually configure the IP address of the switch, or to use the ezconfig utility, continue with the next step. Note: For information about CLI management, see the CLI reference manual. 6. At the next command prompt, type ezconfig and press Enter. The ezconfig utility is now running on the switch.
Find the IP address assigned by the DHCP server By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client and gets its IP address from a DHCP server in the network. To find the assigned IP address of the switch’s management interface or OOB port, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal to one of the console ports on the switch. 1. Make sure that the switch is connected to a DHCP server. 2. Set up a console connection with the switch.
Log in to the local browser UI Manage the features of your switch through the local browser UI with the appropriate IP address for your configuration. Note: When you access the switch, make sure that it is running the latest firmware version. To download firmware, visit netgear.com/support/. 1. Enter http:// in the web browser address field. A login window displays. 2. Enter admin for the user name, leave the password field blank, and click the LOGIN button.
