Installing the Switch in a Standard 19" Rack
This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch into a switch rack. The Switch can be mounted in a
standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets.
1. Fasten the mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch using the screws provided.
2. Fasten the mounting brackets in any available open space in the rack using the screws provided.
Make sure that there is adequate space around the Switch to allow for proper air flow, ventilation, and cooling.
Installing Transceivers into the Transceiver Ports
The Switch is equipped with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) and Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+)
ports that can be used to connect various other networking devices to this switch that do not support the standard
RJ45 wiring connection. These ports are generally used to connect this switch to optical fiber connections and can be
used to connect devices to the Switch over great distances. The maximum distance that the RJ45 wiring connection
can reach is 100 meters. Fiber optic connections can span several kilometers.
The figure below illustrates how to properly insert SFP+ transceivers into the Switch's SFP+ ports.
