Set Up the Switch

Prepare the site so that the mounting, access, power source, and environmental requirements identified in the Hardware Installation Guide published on the CD-ROM are met.

1.Install the switch.

•Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface: Stick one of the rubber footpads that came with the switch on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.

•Installing the Switch in a Rack: Use the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch.

2.Apply AC Power

When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel will be Yellow, as it conducts a Power On Self Test (POST). After the switch passes the POST, the Power LED will change to Green and the switch is functional and ready to pass data. If the POST fails, the Power LED will stay Yellow.

If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix B, Troubleshooting, in the Hardware Installation Guide on the CD-ROM.

3.Connect Devices to the Switch

Use Category 5 (Cat5) cable to connect devices.

SFP modules ship separately. If you need instructions on installing an SFP module, please refer to the Hardware Installation Guide on the CD-ROM.
