how to install Allied Telesis X530L-28GPX

• Choose a secure, well-ventilated rack location and mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rails or mounting hardware.
• Connect the power supply to a reliable power source and verify that all connections meet local electrical requirements. Ensure the ventilation area remains unobstructed for cooling.
• Plan your network topology by identifying core, distribution, and access layers. Connect the four 10G uplinks to your core switches or data center infrastructure as appropriate for your deployment.
• Connect PoE+ devices to the 24 PoE+ ports. Plan endpoints such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points to the appropriate VLANs and QoS policies.
• Access the AlliedWare Plus management interface (web GUI or CLI) using the switch’s IP address assigned by DHCP or configured in advance. Configure basic settings, then proceed to create VLANs, enable routing, and apply ACLs and QoS rules per your network design.
• Enable stacking with other compatible Allied Telesis switches if you require increased port counts or redundant connectivity. Verify synchronization, failover behavior, and centralized management across the stack.
