  • Page 8: Chapter 2: Getting To Know The Switch

    Getting to Know the Switch Overview The SGE2000 and SGE2000P models are 24-port, layer-2 Ethernet switches that expand the capability of the Linksys system. These two versions are functionally identical except the SGE2000P model offers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be used to supply power to various Linksys products over Ethernet cable.

    An optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is connected to the RPS port. An RPS enhances the reliability of the Ethernet switch and it can keep the unit running if a power failure occurs. Only use a Linksys RPS1000 Redundant Power Supply unit and a proper RPS cable (RPSCBL1) with the Ethernet switch.

  • Page 13: Chapter 3: Connecting The Switch

    Before You Install the Switch... When you choose a location for the Ethernet switch, observe the following guidelines: • Make sure that the Ethernet switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected. • Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

  • Page 14: Placement Options

    Before connecting cables to the Ethernet switch, first you will physically install the Ethernet switch. Either set the Ethernet switch on its four rubber feet for desktop placement, mount it in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide for rack-mount placement, or mount it on a wall with the wall-mount brackets provided.
