• Appropriate DC power adapter • Rack-mount bracket kit • This User Guide • SMC Warranty Registration Card Mounting the Switch This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected.
NSTALLING THE WITCH • If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools. • Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
ONNECTING THE WITCH YSTEM 4. Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack, and then use the rack-mount screws to mount the switch in the rack. Connecting the Switch System The EZ Switch 10/100/1000 provides 5/8 RJ-45 ports on this device.

NSTALLING THE WITCH Ethernet connections. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. Using the switch in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 8 end nodes. Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
OWERING N THE WITCH Powering On the Switch 1. Plug the power cord into the power socket at the rear of the switch, and the other end into a power outlet. 2. Check the LED marked Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage.
NSTALLING THE WITCH Verifying Port Status The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for “at-a-glance” system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various indicators: EZSwitch 10/100/1000 EZSwitch 10/100/1000 8508T 8508T Port and System Status LEDs Condition Status Power...
PPLICATIONS LED indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the port LED indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch, check the following items: • Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the connected device and the switch.
