Attach the Switch to a Wall
To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied
with the switch.
To attach the switch to a wall:
1. Locate the two mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the
switch.
The two mounting holes must be at a precise distance of 4.27 in. (108.4 mm)
from each other.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with
a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that
you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Install the Switch in a Rack
To install the switch in a rack, you need the rack-mount brackets and screws that
are supplied with the switch.
To install the switch in a rack:
1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
Insert the screws provided in the product package through each bracket and
into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
2. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
3. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert
two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the
rack.
4. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting
brackets to the rack.
PoE Troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber,
disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start
by disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each
powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the corresponding right
port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights solid
amber, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions
that are listed in the following table.
PoE Fault Condition
Possible Solution
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on
the port.
The problem is most likely with the
attached PD. Check the condition of the
PD or restart the PD by disconnecting and
reconnecting the PD.
The PoE power demand of the PD
exceeded the maximum level that the
switch permits, which is 30.9W.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the
classification limit of the PD.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the
range that the switch permits.
Restart the switch to see if the condition
resolves itself.
Cables and Speeds
The following table describes the network cables that you can use for the switch
connections and the speeds that these cables can support, up to 328 feet (100
meters).
