1Global LEDs

PWR Green ON indicates Power ON

MGMT Blinking Green indicates that the firmware is initializing

Solid Green indicates that firmware is installed and in

proper operational mode

210/100 Port LEDs

LSolid Green indicates a valid connection. During LINK

test, there is an intermittent flash on all the ports.

ASolid Green indicates network activity.

310/100 Base-T ports One of three groups of switched Ethernet ports for

Installing Modules in the Unit

To insure proper installation, complete the following:

1. Power OFF the NH2025-10 switch.

2. Carefully slide an NH2025-10 module into a free dport and press firmly to insert.

3. Tighten the thumbscrews securely.

4. Power ON the NH2025-10 switch. If you have a flash version lower than 1.20 and you are

installing F/O modules, you must download a new software version to the switch so that the

firmware recognizes the new uplinks and the modules operate correctly.
