Attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in
length.
Note:
When connecting to RJ-45 ports 25 or 26, verify the corresponding
combination SFP port is not in use. Software settings can be set to give priority to
either the SFP slot or RJ-45 port, however the switch's default configuration gives
the SFP ports the priority. If the SFP slot has the priority and it has a valid
connection, the RJ-45 port will be disabled.

As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.
