Step 2 Mount the magnet and switch on a metal surface.
After the switch is attached to the mounting magnet, do these tasks to complete the installation:
1. Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 3-5.
2. Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the switch getting started guide
for instructions.
3. Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section
