Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord. 3. Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied rubber feet. Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These rubber feet help protect the switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking. 5. Turn the switch right side up after you attach the rubber feet. Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking. Hardware Description and Installation 2-1 Dimension GS-1116A/GS-1124A Gigabit Switch 2. 2 Rack-mounted Installation The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using the included rack-mounting kit. 1. Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the bracket screws. Similarly, attach the other bracket. Figure 2-2 Attaching Mounting Brackets and Screws 2. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with the rack's mounting screws. Figure 2-3 Switch Mounting to an EIA Standard 19-inch Rack 2-2 Hardware Description and Installation Dimension GS-1116A/GS-1124A Gigabit Switch 2. 3 Rear Panel The ventilation fan and three-pronged power receptacle are located on the rear panel of the switch. Figure 2-4 Switch Rear Panel 2. 3. 1 Rear Panel Power Connection Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the switch and the other end to the 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source. Push the power switch to the ON position. 2. 4 Front Panel The following graphics show the front panels of the GS-1116A and the GS-1124A. Figure 2-5 GS-1116A Front Panel Figure 2-6 GS-1124A Front Panel Table 2-1 GS-1116A/GS-1124A: Front Panel Ports CONNECTOR RJ-45 ports Mini GBIC ports DESCRIPTION Connect these 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports to computers, hubs, Ethernet switches or routers. Use mini GBIC transceivers in these ports for fiber-optical connections to backbone Ethernet switches. 2. 4. 1 100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports The GS-1116A has 16 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. The GS-1124A has twenty-four 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. The auto-negotiation feature allows the switches to detect the speed of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfers of either · 100Mbps in half-duplex mode 2-3 Hardware Description and Installation Dimension GS-1116A/GS-1124A Gigabit Switch · 100Mbps or 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. 2. 4. 2 Auto-sensing (Auto MDI/MDIX) Ports You can connect each RJ-45 auto-sensing port to a computer, hub or switch using either a straight through or a crossover Ethernet cable. 2. 4. 3 Mini GBIC Slots These are slots for Mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee's INF-8074i specification Rev 1. 0 for details. You can change transceivers while the switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
