1 Intel Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch

WARNING

If you’re in a country that has

a220-volt electrical system, you must set the power switch to 230.

Most European and Asian countries have 220-volt systems.

The power cord is a North American type, UL-listed/ CSA-certified power supply cord. Immediately discard this cord if it is inappropriate for the electrical system of your country, and obtain the proper cord as required by your national electrical codes or ordinances and certified for use in your region.

Installation and Setup

1 Install the switch in a rack or on a shelf.

For rack placement, connect the switch to a 19-inch rack using the enclosed rack mount brackets.

For shelf placement, attach the enclosed rubber feet to each corner of the bottom of the switch and place it on a flat, level surface.

2 Plug the switch in and turn the power on.

Plug the switch into an active AC outlet and turn the power on. If you’re in Europe or Asia, or any other country that has a 220-volt electrical system, set the power supply switch to 230 (115 is the default). Otherwise, leave the switch set to 115.

The United States and Japan both have 110 volt systems.

3 Connect the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX devices.

Follow these general guidelines:

•You don’t need to manually set the speed. The switch automatically detects the speed of the connected devices.

•Always use Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable when connecting 100BASE-TX devices. You can use CAT 3, 4, or 5 UTP for 10BASE-T devices.

•Limit the distance between devices connected with UTP cable to 100 meters.

•Use a crossover cable when directly connecting a hub (also called a repeater or concentrator) to the switch. Use straight-through cables when connecting to servers or workstations. If you don’t have a crossover cable, use the MDI connector on port 1 to connect a hub.

•Configure the network so devices that talk primarily to each other are on the same segment. Each port is a single segment.

4 Is setup complete?

If you’re using the switch as a stand-alone device (not under the control of network management software), you’re done.

If you want to change the default configuration (shown in Appendix A) or manage the switch, continue to Chapter 2.
