Installation and Connection
This chapter describes how to install and connect a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch.
Installation
2.1
Place the switch on a flat table.
Step 1
Make sure that the power adapter is connected to the power supply.
Step 2
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation around the switch to dissipate heat and air.
Step 3
Avoid placing any heavy objects on the switch.
To ensure a stable cable connection, place the switch horizontally on the desktop.
Connection to Switch
2.2
Switches can be connected to computers or other devices through UTP or twisted pairs of
CAT3, CAT4 and CAT5. UTP of CAT5 or CAT5e is required for 100 Mbps operation. Twisted
pair of CAT5e or CAT6 is required for 1000 Mbps operation. You can connect to RJ-45 ports
with 10/100/1000 Mbps on a computer or other devices from any port on the switch.
Connect the switch and power on, the switch initializes automatically, and the LED indicator is
on.
If the LED indicator is off, check the power supply and its connection.
