b) Reduced Air Flow- Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. c) Mechanical Loading-Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
BOUT UIDE Congratulations on y our purchase of the 16-port 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch.
NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.
solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switch were designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously. The Switch with its standard EIA-19 rack-mountable size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups.
