3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch ports.
You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet cables.
You can use either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable to connect
computers, hubs, or switches.
Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the
1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach
1Gbps.
3.2.3 Attach the power adapter
1. Connect the AC power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the
switch and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet or a power
strip.
2. Check the front LED indicators with the description in Table 4. If the LEDs
light up as described, the switch hardware is working properly.
