Step 7: Connect Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect computers to the switch’s RJ-45 ports.
The switch supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either
straight-through or crossover cables.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and
the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters).
 To connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports:
Using a Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated (Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7) unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector, connect each device to an
RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
Note: For 10G speeds, if the cable distance is greater than 148 feet (45 meters),
we recommend that you use a Cat 6a cable or higher rated cable.
Step 8: Apply AC Power
The switch does not provide an on/off power switch. The power cord connection controls the
power.
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can turn off power to the switch.
 To apply AC power:
1. Connect the end of the power cord to the AC power connector on back of the switch.
2. Plug the AC power cord into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel lights.
If the Power LED does not light, check to make sure that the power cable is plugged in
correctly and that the power source is functioning. If this does not resolve the problem, see
Appendix A, Troubleshooting.
