Congratulations on your purchase of the BayStack 350 Switch, part of the

There are two versions of the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches: the
BayStack 350-24T switch and the BayStack 350-12T switch. This guide describes
the features, uses, and installation procedures for the two versions. (Unless
otherwise specified, the terms "BayStack 350 switch" and "switch" refer to both
switch versions.)
BayStack 350 switches include a dedicated Uplink Module slot for attaching
optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types,
including gigabit Ethernet. Installation instructions are included with each MDA
