Desk Top or Shelf Mounting the Switch

1. Place the Switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source and fol-
lowing the guidelines of the preceding paragraph, Positioning the Switch.
2. Connect one end of a standard network cable to one of the 10/100 RJ-45
ports on the front of the Switch.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the network device, such as printer
server, workstation or router.
4. Connect one end of the power cable to the switch and the other end into a
standard electrical outlet. When the Switch receives power, the Power
LED will remain solid Green.
The installation is complete.

Rack-Mounting the Switch

The Switch can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack.
Before you begin, disconnect all cables from the Switch.
1. Place the Switch right side up and with the front panel facing you.
2. Position a mounting bracket over the screw holes on one side of the
Switch.
3. Secure the mounting bracket by inserting a screw into each of the three
screw holes. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws, ensuring that they
are fastened firmly in place.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install the other mounting bracket on the opposite
side of the Switch.
5. Insert the Switch into the 19-inch rack and secure it with suitable screws
(not provided). Ensure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
The rack-mount installation is complete.
You can now re-connect the cables to the back of the Switch.

Powering On and Resetting the Switch

To power on the Switch, simply connect the power cord to the back of the
Switch, then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The Switch will
boot up within approximately 30 seconds.
If you need to reset the Switch, remove the power cord from the back of the
Switch and then reconnect it.

Power On Self Test

When you power-on the switch, it performs a Power-On Self Test (POST).
During the POST, the Switch's CPU:
• Performs a series of diagnostic procedures to make sure the basic system
is functioning with integrity.
• Decompresses the main switching software run-time image from the flash
ROM into DRAM area.
• Begins executing the main switching software. During the POST process
if the Esc key is pressed, a COMMAND LINE prompt appears.
Download Runtime This option downloads the runtime system image to
Software from the Switch through the Switch's Console port. Before
Console Port you select this option, make sure:
• A host system is running a terminal emulation
program that supports the Kermit file transfer
protocol.
• The host system's hard drive has the required bi-
nary file that will be downloaded to the switch.
Configure the System This option lets you modify any configurable parame-
ter in the switch's flash ROM before the switch sys-
tem boots.
Run Manufacturing This option downloads the manufacturer's diagnos
Diagnostics tics. This option has the same download requirements
as the runtime software applied. When the file trans-
fer is completed, the target system jumps to the entry
point of the diagnostic program and starts executing
the diagnostic code. The Main Menu of the diagnostic
program appears, where you can initiate tests or
obtain system information. Note that user interven-
tion is not required when a test runs, unless an error
occurs. If an error occurs during testing, you are
given the choice of continuing the diagnostics or
skipping the error.
