Note: To uninstall a transceiver: First disconnect the network cable, then release
and pull the wire bail to remove the transceiver from the slot.
How to Connect to the Twisted-Pair Copper Management Port
The RJ-45 management port on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can 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) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections,
Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T connections.
