Gigabit Combo Ports

(5) Power LED

The Power LED shows the power status of the Switch.

(6) Self-adhesive Pads

The unit is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads.

Do not apply the pads if you intend to rack mount the 
unit.

If the unit is to be part of a free-standing stack, apply 
the pads to each marked corner area on the underside 
of the unit. Place the unit on top of the lower unit, 
ensuring that the pads locate with the recesses of the 
lower unit.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Switch contains a power supply 
socket and a recovery button.

(7) Power Supply

The Switch automatically adjusts to the supply voltage. 
Only use the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

(8) Recovery Button

The recovery button reinitializes the Switch. This returns 
the Switch to the factory default settings if, for 
example, you have forgotten the default IP address, or 
forgotten your user name or password.

CAUTION:

 3Com recommends that you back up your 

configuration settings before you recover the Switch, 
otherwise your configuration may be lost. Refer to 
“Resetting to Factory Defaults” on page 73 for details.
