2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there
are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.

end of this chapter.
4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each

The switch supports the following optional transceivers types:
• 1000BASE-SX
• 1000BASE-LX
• 1000BASE-ZX
To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate transceiver
type. Refer to “Connectivity Rules” on page 4-5.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot
connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only
be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off
before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the
network cable before removing a transceiver.
