3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers, hubs and other switches to
the switch ports. Either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can apply
for connecting these devices.
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 RPS module
Connect your Redundant Power Supply (RPS) module (optional) to the RPS jack on
the rear panel of the switch and make sure the other end of the RPS is connected to
the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a grounded power outlet.
3.2.4 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.
