200 Series 8-Port Smart Switches

Welcome

1

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 200 Series 8-Port 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.

Package Contents

• Cisco SG200-08 or SG200-08P Smart Switch.

• Power 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 on a wall

Do not deploy 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).

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

Mechanical Overloading—The device should 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.

Wall Mounting

NOTE The switch should be mounted so that the ports face up or down.

Do not mount the switch with the ports to the side, as this causes strain
on the connections.

There is a wall-mount kit packed with your switch. The dimensions for the
mount kit are as follows:

1 0.4 in/8 mm 2 0.9 in/22.2 mm 3 0.3 in/6.8 mm 4 0.7 in/17.6 mm

Mount the smart switch to the wall by drilling two pilot holes 95 mm (3.7
inches) apart, attaching the provided anchors and screws to the wall, then
sliding the switch into position on the screws.

The switch must have a minimum of 5 inches (130 mm) of clearance on all
sides.

WARNING Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury.

Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall­mounting.

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 8 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 recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

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

Power over Ethernet Considerations

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

• As a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, the switch can deliver a
maximum of 15.4 Watts per PoE port to a Powered Device (PD).

• The total power budget available for all devices is 32 Watts.

• Ports 1-4 are PoE ports, 5-8 are standard Ethernet ports.

WARNING The switch should be connected only to PoE networks without

routing to the outside plant
