Connecting the switch to the network

Before you connect the switch to the network, verify that all its basic settings are correct.

Connecting your switch to the network through twisted pair
cables

You can connect the 10/100Base-TX ports, 1000Base-T ports, and 10GBase-T ports on your switch to the
network. These ports use RJ-45 connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. Use category-6A or

category-7 twisted pair cables to connect 10GBase-T ports and category-5 or above to connect other

ports. For more information about twisted pair cables, see "

Appendix D Cables

."

To connect a 10/100Base-TX, a 1000Base-T port, or a 10GBase-T port to a peer device:

1.

Plug one end of a twisted pair cable into the port.

2.

Plug the other end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the peer device.

3.

Check the port LEDs for incorrect connection.
For more information about the LED status, see "

Appendix C LEDs

."

Connecting your switch to the network through optical fibers

WARNING!

To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the optical ports and optical fiber connectors when connecting
optical fibers.

You can install a transceiver module (see "

Installing FRUs

") in a fiber port and use optical fibers to

connect the port to the network. For more information about optical fibers, see "

Appendix D Cables

."

To connect a fiber port to a peer device through optical fibers:

1.

Install a transceiver module into the port.

2.

Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and clean the end of the optical fiber.

3.

Remove the dust plug of the transceiver module, plug one end of the optical fiber into the
transceiver module, and plug the other end into the transceiver module in the peer device.
