About the Stratix 2000 Ethernet Unmanaged Switches
The Ethernet unmanaged switches can be used to divide an Ethernet network
into segments, and to direct network traffic more efficiently than using repeating
hubs. This allows for a larger network size, regardless of the amount of network
traffic.
Connecting one of the switches’ ports to a single device segments the network,
letting you dedicate bandwidth to that device. Unmanaged switches also enable
multiple simultaneous communication between devices on different ports.
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal
operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this
equipment:
•
Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
•
Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
•
Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
•
Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
•
Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
•
Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when
not in use.
