GigaX2024/2048 L2 Managed Switch User Manual

3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN

You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers, hubs and other switches to 

the switch ports. Either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can apply 

for connecting these devices.

Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the 

1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach 

1Gbps.

3.2.3 Attach the RPS module 

Connect your Redundant Power Supply (RPS) module (optional) to the RPS jack on 

the rear panel of the switch and make sure the other end of the RPS is connected to 

the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a grounded power outlet.

3.2.4 Attach the power adapter 

1. Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle on the back of the 

switch and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet or a power 

strip.

2. Check the front LED indicators with the description in Table 4. If the LEDs 

light up as described, the switch hardware is working properly.
