Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
5. Connect the Network Cables
Using the RJ-45 Connectors (10/100/1000Base-T ports)
To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the
RJ-45 jack until the tab on
the plug clicks into place.
When power is on for the
switch and for the connected
device, the Link/Act LED for
the port should light to
confirm a powered-on
device (for example, an end
node) is at the other end of
the cable.
If the Link LED does not go
on when the network cable is
connected to the port, see
“Diagnosing With the LEDs”
in chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting”.
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and pull the plug out of the jack.
