[. . . ] · Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2. 44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: · Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or better for 1000BASE-T. · Protection from radio frequency interference emissions · Electrical surge suppression · Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring · Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields 2-11 2 Installing the Switch RJ-45 Connector Figure 2-1. RJ-45 Connections Equipment Checklist After unpacking the switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment. Package Contents · Fast Ethernet Switch · Four adhesive foot pads · Bracket Mounting Kit containing two brackets and screws for attaching the brackets to the switch · Power Cord--either US, Continental Europe or UK · RS-232 console cable · Ethernet Cable Adapter · This Getting Started Guide · User Guide Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment available: · Mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack--these are not included · A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used) 2-12 Mounting 2 Mounting A switch unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: · Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (See page C-30. ) · Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit. · Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. · Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. Figure 2-2. Attaching the Brackets 2-13 2 2. Installing the Switch Mount the device in the rack, using rack-mounting screws (not provided). Figure 2-3. If installing a single switch only, turn to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 2-4. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there 2-14 Connecting to a Power Source are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. 4. 2 If installing a single switch only, go to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order. Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver into the Switch Figure 2-5. Inserting an SFP Transceiver into a Slot To install an SFP transceiver, do the following: 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. [. . . ] These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive. Use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). [. . . ]
