12-Port 1000BASE-TX L2 Managed PoE Switch with 2 SFP Dual Media Ports
Installing the Rubber Feet
For this switch, install the rubber feet and place it on a desktop, or install the switch in the rack with mounting
hardware (see Section3.2).
TP Port and Cable Installation
1. The switch's twisted-pair (TP) ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so either type of cable
(straight-through or crossover) can be used for each TP port.
2. Use Category 5 grade RJ-45 TP cable to connect to a switch TP port at one end and a Gigabit device (for
example, a workstation or server) at the other end.
3. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected to a Gigabit 10/100/1000 TP
device.
The switch is now ready to operate.
Power On
The switch supports a 100–240-VAC, 50–60-Hz power supply. The power supply will automatically convert the
local AC power source to DC power. It does not matter whether any network device (such as a workstation or
server) or fiber transceiver module is plugged into the switch or not when powered on. After the power is on,
all LED indicators will light up immediately and then all LEDs except the power LED go off. This resets the
system.
Firmware Loading
After resetting, the boot loader will load the firmware into the memory. This will take about 30 seconds, then
all switch LEDs will flash once as the switch automatically performs a self-test.

3.2 Installing the Chassis in a 19-Inch Wiring Closet Rail

Allow proper spacing and air ventilation for the cooling fan on both sides of the chassis.
Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge.
1. Using two screws (included), attach the rackmount ears to the switch's left and right sides. See Figure 3-2.
2. Line up the mounting holes on the switch assembly (the switch with rackmount ears installed) with the
mounting holes on a 19" wiring closet rack. Install two screws (included) to hold the switch in place in the
rack.
