Management
An RJ45 serial console port on the front panel of the 5420 Series switch enables you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the
system to an out of band management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an
Ethernet cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch
configuration. The Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
There is one Micro-B USB console port on the front panel. If the Micro-B USB console port is connected,
it is selected over the RJ45 console port. The Micro-B USB console port disconnects when the switch is
rebooted. You can re-connect the port if needed. When the Micro-B USB console is active, any
messages from the switch to the client terminal are echoed to both the USB console and the RJ45 serial
port; however, no user input is accepted from the front panel port.
Tip
Using a Micro-USB Type B to USB Type A cable, connect the Micro-USB Type B end to the
switch, and the USB Type A end to a laptop or PC and complete the driver installation steps.
There are also two USB 2.0 Type A ports. They can be used for a bluetooth dongle or for attaching a
removable memory module.
Note
The first USB storage device inserted will be mounted and can be used under EXOS as /usr/
local/ext. A second inserted USB storage device will not be used until the first one is
removed.
Cooling
Each base model is available with front-to-back cooling.
Switch cooling is provided by one replaceable fan module or two or three fixed fans. The available fan
modules use airflow from front to back. Switch fans are not responsible for cooling the power supplies;
power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fan.
A spare fan module (XN-FAN-000) with front-to-back airflow is available for 5420 Series switches.
