We recommend using Cat5e or better cable. Also, do not
exceed the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100 meters)
per segment.

Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the
numbered unmanaged switch Ethernet ports.

Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back panel of
the unmanaged switch.

Power up the devices connected to the switch. The LED of each
active port on the switch lights.

OTE
To prioritize voice or video traffic by using the QoS feature on the
Cisco SG 100D-08, set flow control to
off
in the configurations
of the connected devices. Otherwise, flow control might send a
pause frame to the switch, blocking the high-priority QoS
packets queued on the port. On some devices, such as some IP
phones and IP cameras, flow control might not be configurable.
