Note:
To remove a transceiver: First disconnect the network cable, then pull the tab
to remove the transceiver from the slot.
How to Connect to Twisted-Pair Copper Ports
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration,
which enables you to use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect
to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
The connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
