1.
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.
2.
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.
The switch provides up to four slots for SFP+ or SFP-compliant fiber-optic
transceivers.
Note that all SFP+ slots operate at 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps full duplex. All SFP slots
operate at 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps full duplex.
