CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 Choosing the Proper Environment
Install and operate the switch within the limits
of the specified temperature and humidity
tolerance (see Chapter 1). Don’t place objects
on top of the switch or obstruct the switch’s
side vents. Also, don’t position the switch near
any heating source such as a heater, radiator, or
in direct exposure to the sun. Protect the switch
from water and moisture. If necessary, use a
dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
3.2 Connecting to Network Devices
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support Auto-
MDI/MDI-X, so you can use either straight-
through or crossover cable to connect the
switch to a workstation or hub.
Connect one end of the network cable to the
RJ-45 port on the switch’s rear panel. Connect
the other end of the cable to the network
device’s RJ-45 port. Repeat this procedure until
you’ve connected all of the switch’s RJ-45 ports.
