To connect the smart switch to the network:
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered smart switch Ethernet ports.
The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to
Features of the Cisco Small Business Smart Switch, page 8
details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

the smart switch.
Cisco recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100 meters). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after they
are connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the
following power requirement:
• As a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, the switch can deliver a
maximum of 15.4 Watts per PoE port to a Powered Device (PD).
• The total power budget available for all devices is 32 Watts.
• Ports 1-4 are PoE ports, 5-8 are standard Ethernet ports.
The switch should be connected only to PoE networks without
