Important User Information

Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the
Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation
sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state
equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for
solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of
this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or
application of this equipment.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and
requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual
use based on the examples and diagrams.

No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits, equipment, or software
described in this manual.

Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell Automation, Inc., is
prohibited.

Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

WARNING: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can cause an explosion in a hazardous
environment, which may lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.

ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death,
property damage, or economic loss. Attentions help you identify a hazard, avoid a hazard and recognize the
consequences.

SHOCK HAZARD: Labels may be on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or motor, to alert people that
dangerous voltage may be present.

BURN HAZARD: Labels may be on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or motor, to alert people that

North American Hazardous Location Approval

Stratix 2000 Ethernet Unmanaged Switch 3

The following information applies when operating this
equipment in hazardous locations.

Products marked "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" are suitable for use
in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and
nonhazardous locations only. Each product is supplied with
markings on the rating nameplate indicating the hazardous
location temperature code. When combining products within a
system, the most adverse temperature code (lowest "T"
number) may be used to help determine the overall
temperature code of the system. Combinations of equipment in
your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority
Having Jurisdiction at the time of installation.

WARNING:
Explosion Hazard -

• Do not disconnect equipment unless
power has been removed or the area is
known to be nonhazardous.

• Do not disconnect connections to this
equipment unless power has been
removed or the area is known to be
nonhazardous. Secure any external
connections that mate to this equipment
by using screws, sliding latches,
threaded connectors, or other means
provided with this product.

• Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.

• If this product contains batteries, they
must only be changed in an area known
to be nonhazardous.

Informations sur l’utilisation de cet équipement en
environnements dangereux.

Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne conviennent qu'à
une utilisation en environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A,
B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque produit est livré avec
des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent le code
de température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque
plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un système, le code de
température le plus défavorable (code de température le plus
faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de température
global du système. Les combinaisons d'équipements dans le
système sont sujettes à inspection par les autorités locales
qualifiées au moment de l'installation.

AVERTISSEMENT:
Risque d’Explosion –

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non dangereux
avant de débrancher l'équipement.

• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que
l'environnement est classé non dangereux
avant de débrancher les connecteurs. Fixer
tous les connecteurs externes reliés à cet
équipement à l'aide de vis, loquets
coulissants, connecteurs filetés ou autres
moyens fournis avec ce produit.

• La substitution de composants peut rendre
cet équipement inadapté à une utilisation en
environnement de Classe I, Division 2.

• S'assurer que l'environnement est classé non
dangereux avant de changer les piles.

4 Stratix 2000 Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in

overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m
(6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11.
Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in
residential and other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that
is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The
enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of
flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA,5VA or be approved for the application if
non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see the following:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional

installation requirements

• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of

protection provided by enclosure

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal

damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:

• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.

• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.

• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

Stratix 2000 Ethernet Unmanaged Switch 5

About the Switch

The Stratix 2000 Ethernet unmanaged switch can be used to divide an Ethernet network
into segments, and to direct network traffic more efficiently than using repeating hubs.
This allows for a larger network size, regardless of the amount of network traffic.

Connecting one of the switch ports to a single device segments the network, letting you
dedicate bandwidth to that device. Unmanaged switches also enable multiple
simultaneous communication between devices on different ports.

The individual ports autonegotiate link speeds (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps). To improve data
throughput, traffic is restricted to ports in a data exchange, while other data is
simultaneously exchanged on other ports.

IMPORTANT

Features supported by the Ethernet unmanaged switches include the following:

The device you connect to a switch must have its Ethernet port configured for autonegotiate to
avoid confusion between half- and full-duplex communication. You can also set the device’s
Ethernet port to half-duplex. Failure to do so may result in higher error rates.

• 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, full- or half-duplex communication, per copper port

autonegotiation

• Automatic crossover detection (auto MDIX)

Before You Begin

Observe these guidelines before installing the switch:

• For 10/100 ports, the cable length from a switch to an attached device cannot

exceed 100 m (328 ft).

• Clearance to front and rear panels must meet these conditions:

– Front-panel status indicators can be easily read.

– Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

– DC (or AC) power connectors are within reach of the connection to their power

source.
