Quick Installation Guide Mounting Switches in a Rack Please comply with the following instructions to ensure that your switch is securely mounted in the rack. Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack. Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack mounting kit. Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side of the switch.
Installing the Switch You can install a module as described below: Disconnect power to the switch (the modules are not hot-swappable). Remove the face plate on the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity.
Quick Installation Guide Connecting the Switch System The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3726M provides 24 RJ-45 ports on the base unit. Each of these ports supports a connection to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and supports full or half-duplex operation. The transmission speed for each port is automatically set by the switch to match the highest speed supported by the connected device.
Installing the Switch switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices. Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port If you connect fiber cable to the 100BASE-FX module, be sure you use an SC-type connector.
Quick Installation Guide 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX fiber optic cable depends on the core size and the rating of the cable, as shown in the following tables. Maximum 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Cable Length Fiber Size Fiber Bandwidth Maximum Cable Length 62.5/125 micron 160 MHz/km 2-220 m (7-722 ft) multimode fiber...
Installing the Switch Verifying Port Status Check each connection by viewing the port indicators on the base unit front panel. Their staus is shown in the following table. S tate Indication System Power Switch is receiving power. Redundant power unit on. Mgmt Management agent operational.
Quick Installation Guide • See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and attached device that displays valid indications when connected to the network. • Be sure no twisted-pair cable exceeds 100 meters (328 feet). 100 Mbps fiber cable should be under 2 kilometers (1.24 miles).
