Figure 2: Mount the Switch in the rack
3.4Connecting Network Cable
The Switch supports 1000Mbs Gigabit Ethernet that runs in Auto-negotiation mode and 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex mode and 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable (Category 5e Cable or better is required for Gigabit Ethernet).
These RJ-45 ports support Auto-MDIX meaning that the Switch can automatically switch between MDI-II and MDI-X types, allowing you to use any cable without worrying about whether it is a straight- through or crossover RJ-45 cable.
3.5AC Power
The Switch uses an AC power supply operating at 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and the unit can be turned on any number of Ethernet cable connected to it.
