Components that can be found on the rear panel of this switch are listed in the table below. 
Component  Description 
Security Lock  Provide a Kensington-compatible security lock to be able to connect to a secure 
immovable device. Insert the lock into the notch and turn the key to secure the 
lock. The lock-and-cable apparatus should be purchased separately. 
Switch GND  Use an electrical grounding wire and connect one end of the wire to the Switch 
GND and the other end of the wire to an electrical grounding point most commonly 
found on the Switch mounting rack itself. 
AC Power Receptacle  The AC power cord with a three-pronged AC power connector can be plugged into 
this receptacle to supply the Switch with 100-240 VAC power at 50-60 Hz. 
Power Cord Retainer Hole 
The power cord retainer hole is used to insert the power cord retainer to secure 
the AC power cord. 
Redundant Power Supply  An optional external RPS can be plugged into the RPS port found on the rear 
panel of switches in this series. When the internal power fails, this optional 
external RPS will supply power to the Switch immediately and automatically. 
USB  Inserting a flash drive into the USB 2.0 Type-A port provides an additional storage 
space for portable firmware images and configuration files that can be copied to 
and from the NVRAM of the Switch. 
MGMT 
The RJ45 MGMT port is an IP-based, OOB port for Telnet, web, or SNMP 
management that operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps wire-speed. This port can be 
used to configure the Switch without being connected to the network. 
Console (RJ45)  The RJ45 console port can be used to connect to the CLI of the Switch for 
configuration, management, and monitoring. This port uses a special console 
cable (included in this package) with a DB9 interface to connect the Switch to the 
serial port (COM) of the PC.
