Key Features This section summarizes the key features of the EX17008 and EX17016 switches. Model EX17008 Features 8 10/100BASE-TX ports supporting IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), with a total PoE power budget of 123.2 W Max.
Connect the other end to a 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port on the switch: Model EX17008: use ports 1 through 8. Model EX17016: use ports 1 through 16. Repeat this step for each additional device you want to connect to the 10/100 Mbps ports.

Applying AC Power EX17008 and EX17016 switches have an ON/OFF switch that controls power to the switch. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power.
If this does not resolve the problem, see Chapter 5, Troubleshooting. Where to Go from Here After you power-up the switch for the first time, you configure it using the switch’s built-in management software. For more information, see Chapters 3 and 4.
