4.2 Rack-mount Installation

The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of
related network devices. The switch is supplied with rack mounting brackets and
screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing
toward you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not
provided).
7. Reconnect all cables.

4.3 Installing Network Cables

Station Connections

Reference to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station to the
switch with correct type of cables.

Switch-to-Switch Connections

In making a switch-to-switch connection, use Gigabit ports to connect another switch
or backbone is strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the
server or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Reference
to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station to the switch with
correct type of cables.
Furthermore, as the switch supports Port Aggregation (Port Trunk) capability and up
to 8 groups, it is also great to build up switch-to-switch connectivity. For detail
information, please reference to the "Management Guide" session.
