Cisco Small Business

200 Series Smart Switches

Welcome

1

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 200 Series Smart Switch, a Cisco Small
Business network communications device. This device is designed to be
operational right out-of-the-box as a standard bridge. In the default
configuration, it will forward packets between connecting devices after
powered up.

Before you begin installing the switch, make sure you have all of the
package contents available, access to the

Series Smart Switch Administration Guide

for using web-based system management tools.

Package Contents

• Cisco 200 Series Smart Switch.

• Rackmount Kit.

• Power Cord or Adapter

• This Quick Start Guide.

• Product CD.

This guide will familiarize you with the layout of the smart switch and
describe how to deploy the device in your network. For additional
information, see www.cisco.com/smb.

Mounting the Cisco Switch

There are two ways to mount the switch:

• Set the switch on a flat surface.

• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).

Do not mount the device in a location where any of the following conditions
exist:

High Ambient Temperature—The ambient temperature must not
exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade).

NOTE Some switches have a higher temperature rating. The SG200-10FP,

SF200-24FP, SG200-26FP, and SG200-50FP are rated at 113 degrees
Fahrenheit (45 degrees Centigrade).

Reduced Air Flow—Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent
overheating.

Mechanical Overloading—The device must be level, stable, and

secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out-of-position.

Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.

Rack-Mount Placement

STEP 1 Remove the four screws from each side near the front of the switch.

Retain the screws for re-installation. (Do not remove the four screws
from each side near the back of the switch.)

STEP 2 Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the

four holes of the spacers align to the screw holes. Place a rack
mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws
removed in Step 1.

NOTE If your screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket with

the spacer in place, attach the bracket directly to the case without the
spacer.

STEP 3 Repeat Step 2 for the other side of the switch.

STEP 4 After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the

switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.

CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.

Connecting Network Devices

2

To connect the smart switch to the network:

STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered smart switch Ethernet ports.

The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to

Features of the Cisco Small Business Smart Switch, page 9 for

details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to

the smart switch.

NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is
connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

WARNING The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without

routing to the outside plant.

If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the
following power requirement:
