Installation Procedures

6. Connect the Network Cables

Connect the network cables, described under "Cabling Infrastructure"
2-5), from the network devices or your patch panels to the fixed RJ-45 ports
on the switch or to any mini-GBICs you have installed in the switch.

Using the RJ-45 Connectors

To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45
port until the tab on the plug clicks
into place. When power is on for the
switch and for the connected device,
the Link LED for the port should light
to confirm a powered-on device (for
example, an end node) is at the other
end of the cable.
If the Link LED does not go on when
the network cable is connected to the
port, see "Diagnosing With the LEDs"
in chapter 4, "Troubleshooting".
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and
pull the plug out of the port.
