Cabling
Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices are turned off.
<Note>
Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
Step 3: Consult the previous section for cabling requirements based on connectors and
speed.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired
device.
Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on
the power and the switch is operational.
