MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire pairs in the cable must be connected. 1000BASE-T ports support the Auto MDI/ MDI-X feature, which means that at any operating speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps), either straight-through or crossover cables can be used to connect to any server, workstation, or other network device. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Connecting to an SC-Type Fiber Port

When connecting fiber cable to a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX (GBIC) port on the switch, be sure you use an SC-type connector. Follow the steps below.

Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.

1.Remove and keep the SC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.

2.Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

3.Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
