The switch supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps
connections. Using Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps), the switch sends
files across the network at speeds up of to 2000 Mbps due to the fullduplex nature of Gigabit Ethernet connections. You can either
connect 24 Ethernet copper cables or 22 copper cables with 2 optical
fibers.
The switch supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables on
24 ports. Each of these ports configures itself based on the cable that
you plug into it. You can use the switch to connect Ethernet devices
such as computers, file servers, printers, routers, switches, or hubs.

Select a Location
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal
surface or a 19-inch rack.
Make sure that the location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5
cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated, especially if it is in a closet.
Install the Switch
1. For each device that you want to connect to the switch, provide
an enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connections. Each Ethernet cable has to be less than 328 feet
(100 meters) long.
2. Install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.
• Flat surface. The switch comes with four self-adhesive
footpads. Stick one footpad on each of the four concave
spaces on the bottom of the switch. The footpads cushion the
switch against shock and vibrations.
• Rack mounting. Follow the instructions in the 19-Inch Rack
Mounting section.
Verify Cable Connections
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will
not create a safety hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted securely.
