CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION
The Fast Ethernet Switch do NOT require software configura-
tion. Users can immediately use any of the features of this
product simply by attaching the cables and turning on the
power.
To get the best use of these Fast Ethernet Switch models,
many things need to be considered first. See Section
4,
OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION for details.
3.1 Rack-Mount Installation
Most users prefer to attach the power cord to the hub before
installation in a network rack. Do not plug the other end of the
cord into a power outlet until after the Switch is installed.
For mounting the Fast Ethernet Switch in a network rack, first
attach the rack-mount brackets to the side of the hub with
screws. (Both brackets and screws are included in the product
package.) Slide the hub into the rack and align the holes in the
bracket with the corresponding holes in the network rack. At-
tach the bracket to the rack with the enclosed screws.
3.2 Desktop Installation
To locate the Fast Ethernet Switch models on a desktop, first
attach the four rubber feet to the bottom of the hub, one in each
corner. Place the hub on a clean, flat desk or table-top close to
a power outlet. Make sure there is no hindrance behind the fan
of the hub
Plug in all network connections and then turn the switch on via
plug in the power cord.
