3.0 Introduction
The Waters’ GS switch is a sixteen or twenty-four port unmanaged switch which meets all
IEEE802.3/u/x/z specifications. This wiring closet switch will seamlessly integrate with the rest
of your network through its auto negotiating and non-blocking design. The switch provides up to
32/48GBps aggregate bandwidth for an effective method for high speed networking to the
desktop.
Because both models (GS1016 and GS1024) have two optional slots for SFP fiber, ports 15 and
16 in the GS1016 and ports 23 and 24 in the GS1024 can support two types of media (copper
or fiber). Use of the SFP module for fiber eliminates the use of the corresponding port in copper.
Both switches support MDI/MDI-X auto crossover, so no cross over cables are required.
4.0 Installation
Choose a surface for your switch that is clean, smooth and near a power outlet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air
circulation.
1. Plug in the power cord into the switch.
2. Install the proper cable for network connection.
3. Plug the power cord into the power source.
4. Screw the mounting accessory to the front side of the switch.
5. Place the chassis into the 19-inch wiring closet rail.
6. Tighten the screw to secure the chassis to the wiring closet rail.

the switch is ON. Follow these instructions to install an SFP module.
1.
Verify that the SFP module is the correct model and conforms to the chassis.
2.
Slide the module inside the slot.
3.
Be sure that the module is properly seated against the connector.
