Hardware Installation

To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these
instructions:
1. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch
are powered off.
2. For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet
network cable to one of the numbered ports on the
Switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e
Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports
on the Switch.
3. Connect the other end to a PC or other network
device.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.
5. If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then connect the
mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For detailed
instructions, refer to the module's documentation.
6. If you will use the Switch's console interface to
configure the Switch, then connect the supplied serial
cable to the Switch's Console port, and tighten the
captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your
PC's serial port. (This PC must be running the VT100
terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
7. Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch's power
port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
WARNING:
Make sure you use the power
cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a
different power cord could damage the Switch.
8. Power on the network devices connected to the
Switch. Each active port's corresponding Link/Act
LED will light up on the Switch. If a port has an active
Gigabit connection, then its corresponding Gigabit
LED will also light up.
NOTE:
If you need to reset the Switch, unplug
the power cord from the back of the Switch.
Wait a few seconds and then reconnect it.
