Quick Start - Intel Express 10 User Manual

Quick Start

1. Install the Express 10/100 Switch in a rack or on a shelf or table and plug the
cord in. If you're in Europe or Asia, or any other country that has a 220-volt
electrical system, set the power supply switch to 230 (115 is the default).
Otherwise, leave the switch set to 115. Turn the power on.
2. Connect the network devices to the switch.
Crossover cables
to hubs or other
switches.
3. Check the LEDs for power and links.
Blinks every two seconds.
Next steps (Optional)
• Continue to the next page if you want to configure the switch to work with an SNMP-compliant
Network Management System (NMS).
• See Chapter 2 if you want to use the Console Manager to change port configurations (set a port for
full duplex or manually set the speed), assign an IP address, or check port statistics.
