Before You Begin

This guide is designed to familiarize you with the general layout of the switches,
and how to begin installing them in a standard configuration. Your particular
switch model may not have all of the features or functionality described in this
guide. For more detailed information on the individual switches, see the

SFE/

SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide

.

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

SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration

Guide

, and a PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, for using web-

based system management tools.

NOTE The switch is configured to operate in a stack by default. If

you are installing the switch in standalone mode, you must
change the switch configuration. Refer to the stacking
chapter of the

SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration

Guide

and to Section 3 of this guide.

Switch Location Considerations

The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack. If you choose the
desktop option, install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the
switch.

!

CAUTION Wall-mounting the switch is discouraged due to the size

and weight of the device.

Rack Mount Installation Tips

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not

operate the switch in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of
104°F (40°C)

• Size—The switch can be mounted in any standard size, 19-inch wide rack.

Each switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space.

• Reduced Air Flow—If you install the switch in a rack, b e sure that there is

adequate air flow as required.

• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable when you

mount the switch in a rack to avoid any hazardous condition.

1

• Circuit Overloading—Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when

installing multiple devices in a rack.

• Reliable Grounding—Be sure that the switch is grounded and uses suitable

electrical supply connections.

To mount the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions:

STEP1 Remove the four screws from each side of the front of the switch.

Retain the sc rews for re-ins tallation. D o not remove t he four screws
from each side of the back of the switch.

S

TEP 2 Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the four

holes 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 After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the switch

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

!

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 may tip over.

Switch Ports and LEDs

The LEDs and network ports are located on the front panel of the switch. Refer
to the Port Descriptions table, for details on port functionality.

NOTE The P in the model name indicates that the switch provides

Power over Ethernet (PoE) to connected devices.

Port Descriptions

Port Description

Switch Ports The switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3)

network ports which use RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet
ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
1000 Mbps. They can operate in half-duplex and full-duplex
modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to
automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of a
connected device, and to adjust both accordingly. These
ports are typically used for devices such as PCs, servers, IP
phones and Access Points.

Uplink Ports These ports are typically used for connecting to other

switches, routers, or network backbone devices. The mini­GBIC ports are considered uplink ports.

mini-GBIC
Ports

The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) port is a
connection point for a mini-GBIC expansion module, allowing
the switch to be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each
mini-GBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network
segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000
Mbps.

Port LEDs

LINK/ACT—Each green LED lights up when a connection is made through its
corresponding port. It flashes when the corresponding port is active.

SPEED—On non-PoE switches, a green LED indicates that the port is operating
at the maximum speed (Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet).

PoE—On PoE switches, a green LED indicates that PoE is active on that port.
The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4 Watts to a PoE port. See the

SFE/

SGE Managed Switch

Administration Guide

for platform PoE power limitations.

Switch LEDs

PWR—A green LED lights up and remains lit when the switch is powered on.

FAN— A green LED lights up to indicate that the cooling fan is operating
properly. A flashing red LED indicates that the cooling fan has failed.

RPS—A green LED lights up to indicate that RPS is connected and operating
properly. A flashing red LED indicates an RPS fault.

MST—A green LED indicates that this switch is a stack master.

Stack ID—A green LED indicates that this switch is stacked and the
corresponding number indicates its stack ID.

Other Features

Reset—The switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET
opening.

RPS—A connector for a Redundant Power Supply is located on the back of the
switch.

Power—The Power port is where you will connect the power cord.

Console—The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC’s
serial port for configuration using a terminal emulation program.

!

CAUTION If the RESET switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds,

the switch will reset to its default settings. All c ustomized
user settings will be lost .

Stacking the Switches

Before setting up stacked switches in your network, see the

Managing Stacking

chapter in the

SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide

.

Switches can operate in two different modes, Stack mode and Stand-Alone
mode. In Stack mode, a switch operates as a member of an organized group of
switches known as a stack. A stack consists of one Stack Master control switch,
one Master Backup switch and Stack Member switches. A total of 192 ports can
be integrated in a stack. You cannot mix GE and FE switches in a stack.

NOTE By default, a switch is in stack mode and the Unit ID

assignment is Auto. A stacking port functions as a regular
ethernet port when the switch is in Stand-Alone mode, or if
it is replaced by another stacking port through configuration

3

The following table shows the default stacking ports and the configurable
stacking ports:

If you manually assign a Unit ID to one unit, you should manually assign Unit IDs
to

all

units. Using both system-assigned and manually-assigned IDs in your

network can impact system performance.

Changing the stacking mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch.

The following diagrams illustrate the SFE and the SGE devices in a stack:
