Typical Network Configuration
When you connect your network devices, make sure you
don’t exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters
(328 feet).
Positioning the Switch
Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the
following guidelines:
Make sure that the Switch is accessible and that the
•
cables can be connected easily.
Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise,
•
power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
Position the Switch away from water and moisture
•
sources.
To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be
•
sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches
(50mm).
Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four
•
units high.
Placement Options
There are three ways to physically install the Switch,
either set the Switch on its four rubber feet for desktop
placement, mount the switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch
1U high rack for rack-mount placement, or horizontally on
the wall.
Desktop Placement
Attach
the
rubber
feet
to
the
recessed
areas
on
the
1.
bottom of the Switch.
Place
the
Switch
on
a
desktop
near

2.
source.
Keep
enough
ventilation
space
for
the
Switch
and
3.
check the environmental restrictions mentioned in
“Appendix D: Specifications” as you are placing the
Switch.
Connect the Switch to network devices according to
4.
the Hardware Installation instructions below.

Rack-Mount Placement
When rack-mounting the Switch, please observe the
following guidelines:
Elevated Operating Ambient
•
If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow
•
Installation of the equipment
in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading
•
Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
•
Consideration should be given
to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring.
Appropriate
consideration
of
equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing
•
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
To rack-mount the Switch in any standard 19-inch rack,
follow the instructions described below.
Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front
1.
panel facing you.
Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch
2.
with the supplied screws. Then attach the other bracket
to the other side.
WARNING:
Make sure you use the screws
supplied with the mounting brackets. Using the
wrong screws could damage the Switch and
would invalidate your warranty.
Attaching the Brackets
Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the
3.
Switch.
Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely
4.
attach the brackets to your rack.

Print this page at 100% size, cut along the dotted
line and place on the wall to drill precise spacing.
Wall-Mount Placement
When mounting the Switch on the wall, the Switch should
be mounted horizontally. The front panel should face
either up or down. The unit should not be positioned
vertically when mounted. You will need two suitable
screws to mount the Switch. Use the template above to
plan your installation.
Proper Wall-Mount Orientation (Horizontal)
NOTE:
Linksys is not responsible for damages
incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.
Determine
where
you
want
to
mount
the
Switch.
1.
Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and
sturdy and make sure the location is within reach of
the power outlet.
Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are
2.
3.7 inches (94 mm) apart. You can print the template
from this page.
Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 3 mm (0.12 in)
3.
of its head exposed.
Maneuver the Switch so the wall-mount slots line up
4.
with the two screws.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide
5.
the Switch down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.
Incorrect Wall-Mount Orientation (Vertical)
Congratulations! The wall-mount installation of the Switch
is complete.

Hardware Installation
To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these
instructions:
Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch
1.
are powered off.
For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet
2.
network cable to one of the numbered ports on the
Switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e
Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports
on the Switch.
Connect
the
other
end
to
a
PC
or
other
network
3.
device.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.
4.
If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then connect the
5.
mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For detailed
instructions, refer to the module’s documentation.
If
you
will
use
the
Switch’s
console
interface
to
6.
configure the Switch, then connect the supplied serial
cable to the Switch’s Console port, and tighten the
captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your
PC’s serial port. (This PC must be running the VT100
terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s power
7.
port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
WARNING:
Make sure you use the power
cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a
different power cord could damage the Switch.
Power

Switch. Each active port’s corresponding Link/Act
LED will light up on the Switch. If a port has an active
Gigabit connection, then its corresponding Gigabit
LED will also light up.
NOTE:
If you need to reset the Switch, unplug
the power cord from the back of the Switch.
Wait a few seconds and then reconnect it.
