10/100 Managed 24-Port GigaSwitch

To power on the GigaSwitch, simply connect the AC power cord to the back
of the GigaSwitch, then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The
GigaSwitch will boot up within approximately 30 seconds.

If you need to reset the GigaSwitch, depress the RESET button (located on
the rear of the switch) for approximately one or two seconds.

Port 24 on the EtherFast II 10/100 Managed 24-Port GigaSwitch can act as an
uplink port, allowing you to uplink to other switches or hubs using a standard
Ethernet connection.

To uplink the switch, connect one end of a Category 5 (or better) network
cable into Port 24, then connect the other end of the cable into the desired
network device’s uplink port. To enable uplinking capability, depress the
MDI/MDIX button on the front of the switch.

Use the following instructions to install the Gigabit Expansion Modules:

Before you begin power off the GigaSwitch by disconnecting all cables from
the GigaSwitch.
