Product Overview
The Cisco SR2024 24-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides 
non-blocking, wire-speed switching for your 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 
Mbps network clients. 
Front Panel
The ports and LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
Ports and LEDs
1-24 Auto-Sensing RJ-45 Ports—Support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps and can operate in half- and full-duplex modes. Use 
these ports to connect network devices such as computers, printers, and 
access points to the switch. 
MiniGBIC 1-2 Ports—The two miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) ports are 
connection points for miniGBIC modules, so the switch can uplink via fiber to 
another switch or two. The miniGBIC ports are only compatible with the Cisco 
miniGBIC models MGBSX1, MGBLH1, MGBT1, MGBLX1, and MGBBX1. The 
miniGBIC port LEDs light up green when a connection is made through the 
port. They flash green when the connection is active.
System LED—Lights up green when the switch is powered on.
Link/Act LED—Lights up green when a connection is made through that port. 
The LED flashes when the connection is active.
Gigabit LED—Lights up amber when there is a gigabit connection made 
through that port. The LED flashes when the connection is active.
Back Panel
The power port is located on the back panel of the switch.
The power port is where you connect the power cord.

Before You Begin
Before you install the SR2024 switch, follow the guidelines in this section.
There are two ways to physically install the switch:
• Set the switch on its four rubber feet.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1U high). 
When you choose a location for the switch, consider the following guidelines:
• Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be 
connected easily.
• Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and 
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Position the switch away from water and moisture sources.
• To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a 
minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm).
• Do not stack free-standing switches more than four units high.
