Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability in one cost-eective,
space-saving design. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone

Before You Begin

The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:

• Visually inspect the power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the
power cord.

• Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and make sure
there is adequate ventilation around it.

• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

• Place the Switch in a cool and dry environment.

Connecting the Switch

Step 1

Plug the supplied power cord into the Switch and the other end into a power
outlet, power strip, or surge protector (recommended). Verify the Power indicator
is lit on the Switch.

Step 2

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable in the device you want to connect to the
Switch and the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check
the Link lights (LEDs) on both the Switch and the device to verify that the cable
is good and that there is a valid connection.
