Rack Mounting Your Switch
Every 12-Port, 16-Port and 24-Port Switch is equipped with mounting holes
that can be used to secure it in a stationary or movable rack. After screwing a
mounting bracket into each side of the switch, lift the switch into your rack
and secure the brackets in place with additional screws.
Connecting Nodes to the Switch
The front of the 12-Port Switch has twelve RJ-45 ports the 24-Port Switch
has twenty-four. Each switch also has an uplink port (shared with the port 12
on the 12-Port model and port 16 on all other switches). Each port automati-
cally detects the speed, type, and duplex of the cabling attached to it, and can
operate in either half or full duplex, giving possible speeds of 200Mbps,
100Mbps, 20Mbps, or 10Mbps.
