3. Hardware Description

3.1. Connectors

The Switch utilizes ports with copper and SFP fiber port connectors functioning under
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet standards.
10/100/1000Base-T Ports
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps, and
can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. These ports also offer automatic MDI/MDI-
X crossover detection that gives true "plug-n-play" capability – just plug the network cables into
the ports and the ports will adjust according to the end-node devices. The following are
recommended cabling for the RJ45 connectors: (1) 10Mbps – Cat 3 or better; (2) 100/1000Mbps
– Cat 5e or better.
SFP Slots for SFP Modules
The four SFP slots are designed to Gigabit SFP modules that support network speed of 1000Mbps.
Installing the SFP Modules and Fiber Cable
1. Slide the selected SFP module into the selected SFP slot (Make sure the SFP module
is aligned correctly with the inside of the slot).
2. Insert and slide the module into the SFP slot until it clicks into place.
3. Remove any rubber plugs that may be present in the SFP module's mouth.
4. Align the fiber cable's connector with the SFP module's mouth and insert the connector.
5. Slide the connector in until a click is heard.
