The AG-7448CU switch is designed to provide high-speed, lossless Ethernet connections
between server racks through its 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP ports. This chapter describes
how to make network connections to the switch.

ONNECTIONS
The switch’s Management port connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better
for 10BASE-T connections.

UIDELINES
The RJ-45 port on the switch supports an automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so
you can use a standard straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect to any other network
device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the link device’s RJ-45 connector.
Figure 15: Making a Connection to the Management Port
2. Attach the other end to the Management port on the switch.
Make sure the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
3. When the connection is made, the Mgmt LED (on the switch) will light green to indicate
that the connection is valid.
