Introduction
The Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 6-Port is supplied with
two mounting brackets and four screws. These are used
for rack mounting the unit. When mounting the unit,
you should take note of the guidelines given in
“Positioning the Switch”
on
page 3
.
Rack Mounting the Units
The Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 6-Port is 1U high and
will fit a standard 19-inch rack.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all cables from the unit before
continuing. Remove the self-adhesive pads from the
underside of unit, if already fitted.
1
Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface
with the front facing towards you.
2
Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on
one side of the unit (refer to the figure following step
6).
3
Insert the two screws supplied in the mounting kit and
fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
4
Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the
unit.
5
Insert the unit into the 19-inch rack and secure with
suitable screws (not provided).
6
Reconnect all cables.
At frequent intervals you should visually check the
Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 6-Port. Regular checks can
give you an early warning of a possible failure; any
problems can then be attended to when there will be
least effect on users.
Check that all external cabling connections are secure
and that no cables are pulled taut.
Refer to the information about LEDs given earlier in this
guide to see if the problem can be identified and
rectified. Here are some common problems that can
occur:
Power LED is yellow.
The temperature of the unit has
exceeded reliable operating limits. Do the following:
1
Ensure all fans are operating correctly.
2
Check the temperature of the room in which the unit is
located. The room temperature must not exceed 50° C
(122° F).
3
Disconnect the mains supply and re-connect.
Activity Status LED not lit for a port that has a
connection.
There is a problem with this connection.
Check that:
The device being connected to is powered on and
operating correctly.
The cable is connected at both ends.
You are using a TP cable that is not damaged.
If the connection is to a workstation, that the work-
station’s network interface is installed and configured
correctly.
All Activity LEDs appear to be lit continually.
There
may be broadcast storms on the network. Remove port
connections one at a time, waiting a few seconds
between each port. If the LEDs go off after removing a
port connection, the device that was connected to that
port is introducing an excessive amount of broadcast
frames to the network (some pieces of network
equipment operate by sending out broadcast frames
regularly). Refer to the documentation that accompanies
the device for information on disabling the broadcast
operation.
If the problem persists and the unit still does not operate
successfully, contact your supplier with the following
information before returning the unit:
Product number and serial number (printed on a label
supplied with the unit)
