About the Stratix 2000 Ethernet Unmanaged Switches
The Ethernet unmanaged switches can be used to divide an Ethernet network 
into segments, and to direct network traffic more efficiently than using repeating 
hubs. This allows for a larger network size, regardless of the amount of network 
traffic.
Connecting one of the switches’ ports to a single device segments the network, 
letting you dedicate bandwidth to that device. Unmanaged switches also enable 
multiple simultaneous communication between devices on different ports.
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic 
discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal 
operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this 
equipment:
•
Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
•
Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
•
Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
•
Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
•
Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
•
Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when 
not in use.
