1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your network should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will
prevent you from network data loss or

network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Gigabit
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch
or the power adapter.

Step 4: Connect your Gigabit Ethernet Switch to network
devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable
to the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports on the
front of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the
network devices such as printer servers,
workstations or routers, etc.
Step 5: Supply power to the Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the
Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to
a standard wall outlet.
When the Gigabit Ethernet Switch receives power, the
Power LED should remain solid Green.
Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the Gigabit
Ethernet Switch, use suitable screws to securely
attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in
Figure 6.
