Install the Switch
To install your switch on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be sure the
switch is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.
To install the switch in a rack, first attach the mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
Insert the screws provided in the rack mount kit through each bracket mounting hole in
the switch. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. Align
the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack and insert two pan-head
screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. Tighten the screws
with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.
Connect the Devices
To connect devices to the switch:
1. Connect the devices to the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the switch, using Category 5
UTP cable and RJ-45 plug.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable between your PC or server and the
switch to 328 feet (100 meters) in length.
2. Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power outlet on the rear
panel of the switch and other end of the power adapter cable to wall outlet.
