Connecting the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

The BayStack 350 switch 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports are configured with
RJ-45 connectors that are wired as MDI-X ports. As in conventional Ethernet
repeater hubs, the BayStack 350 switch ports connect via straight-through cables
to the network interface card (NIC) in a node or server. When connecting to an
Ethernet hub or to another switch, you must use a crossover cable. See
Appendix D, "Connectors and Pin Assignments," for more information.
Note: By default, all BayStack 350 switch 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX switch
ports are set with the autonegotiation feature enabled. This feature allows any
port to match the best service provided by the connected station, up to
100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode.
A standard RJ-45 connection is provided to connect devices to the switch through
the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports.
Note: The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports must use Category 5 UTP cable to
accommodate the 100BASE-TX functionality.
To connect the RJ-45 port cables, insert the cable plug into the appropriate port
connector until the release tab snaps into the locked position
