Installing the Switch on a Table or Desktop
To install the switch on a table or desktop, perform the following
procedure:
1. Remove all the items from the packaging and store the packaging
material in a safe place. In the event a problem occurs and you need
to return the unit, please use as much of the original shipping material
as possible.
2. Attach the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the switch, as
shown in Figure 5.

3. Place the switch on a flat and secure surface, leaving ample space
around the switch for ventilation.
4. Connected the twisted pair cables to the twisted pair ports.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
ˆ You should check to be sure that you are using the appropriate
type of twisted pair cabling. Refer to “Twisted Pair Cabling and
Distances” on page 24 for twisted pair cable specifications.
ˆ Since the twisted pair ports feature Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use
a straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network
device to a port on the switch.
5. Apply AC power to the switch by plugging the power cord into the AC
power connector on the back panel of the unit, as described in
“Powering On the Switch” on page 32.
