Similar to other electronic products, the semiconductor chip easily gets damaged if you power on and off abruptly and frequently. To restart up the switch of S2518PB, you have to open the power on-off three or five seconds after the power is cut off.
S2518PB Hardware Installation Manual Put off ornaments, such as ring, necklace, watch and bracelet, before you operate under live working. When metal articles connect the power to the ground, short circuit happens and components may be damaged. Please cut off the direct-current connection when you operate the hull or work near the power supply.
2.4 Installation Tools and Device The tools and devices to install the S2518PB switch are not provided by the S2518PB switch. You yourself need to prepare them. The following are the tools and devices needed for the typical installation of the S2518PB switch: ...
Installing the Chassis on the Cabinet 3.2.1 Installing the Chassis on the Desk The S2518PB switch can be directly put on the smooth and safe desk. Note: Do not put things weighing 4.5 kg or over 4.5 kg on the top of the switch.
3.3.1 Connecting the Console Port The switch of S2518PB has a Console port. The rate of the console port is a value of 1200bps—115200bps. It has a standard RJ45 plug. After you connect the console port to the serial port of PC through a console cable, you can configure and monitor the switch of S2518PB by running a terminal emulation software, such as super Windows terminal.

25-hole plug (DB25) and a 9-hole plug (DB9). The RJ45 plug is put into the socket of the console port on the S2518PB switch. DB25 or DB9 is applied according to the requirement of the terminal serial port. The inner line connection in the cable is shown in Figure 3-5.
3.3.2 Connecting the SFP Ports S2518PB provides 2 gigabit SFP optical ports. Each port corresponds to one indicator respectively, which is used for indicating the port Link/ACT state. When the indicator is always on, the link is normal; when it flickers, the data receives and forwards. To use the optical port, you need connect it to the SFP optical module, and then to other Ethernet terminal devices through an optical fiber.

Check whether the connected power supply meets the power requirements of the switch. Check whether the grounding line of S2518PB is correctly connected. Check whether S2518PB is correctly connected to other terminal devices. ...
Caution: Before opening the chassis, make sure that you have released the static you carried and then turn off the power on-off of S2518PB. Before operating any step in Appendix B, read the section “Safety Advice”. Before performing operations beside the power supply or on the chassis, turn off the power on-off and plug out the power cable.
S2518PB Hardware Installation Manual When the cover is opened, put it aside. The main board of the system appears. Note: After taking off the cover, put it horizontally and avoid it to be crushed or collided. Otherwise, the chassis is hard to install.
9600 bps, eight data bits, no sum check bit, one stop bit and no traffic control. 5.2 LED Description The LED shows that the switch is running. The following table shows the LEDs of the S2518PB switch and their description: Table 5-1 Definitions of Switch Indicators Abbrev. Name...
