DC Power
Jack:
Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check
the printing on the adapter for information about the AC power in-
put voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch,
plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately
power it on.
Numbered
MDI/MDI-X
Jacks:
Use these jacks to connect stations to the switch. These are num-
bered MDI/MDI-X jacks, which mean, you can use ordinary straight
or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect user machines and
servers to the switch through them.
Note:
1. The Switch is a power-required device, it means, the Switch
will not work until it is powered. If your networked PCs will
need to transmit data all the time, please consider use an
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your Switch. It will
prevent you from network data loss.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also
help to protect your Switch from being damaged by unregu-
lated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.
