2. Mount and Power Up the Switch
Mount the switch in the rack
If you want to mount the switch in a rack, please use the supplied rackmount kit for this device where
available. For instructions on how to mount your switch, please see the Operating Instructions under
www.sophos.com/get-started-switch
Connect the power cable and turn on the switch
Connect the power supply (where available) and/or supplied power cable to the switch and turn it on (if
unit has a power button). After a few seconds, the Power LED will start blinking and the switch will boot.
This process should take just a few minutes. After the boot-up is complete the Power LED will turn to
solid green.
Connect Grounding Cable (CS101-8x models only)
If ethernet cables are run between buildings or if the switch is used in a high lightning exposure area,
connect a safety ground wire to the grounding screw to provide additional protection from electrical
shock. If unsure of your electrical ground, consult an electrician.
