1. Using the Switch Cabling Chart provided by your network administrator as a
guide, connect the cables between the switch and other devices as illustrated in
Figure 6. Note that the figure illustrates an RJ-45 connector on each end.
Depending on the cable type you use, the device end of the cable may also have
a 9-pin D-shell or 150 ohm Data Connector.
2. If the switch is rack-mounted, dress the switch end of the cables through a cable
management bracket, if one is present on your rack.
3. Label each end of the cables so that it will be easy to find the device if you have
to troubleshoot a network problem.
Suggested information to place on the label includes the room location of the
device at the other end, a unique cable identification number, the MAC address
of the connected device, and the number of the port to which the cable is
attached.
4. To continue installing the switch, go to "Applying Power" on page 32.
