Grounding the Switch

This step must be completed before powering on
the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
• Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6
(metric) pan-head screw (not included).
• Grounding cable (not included). The grounding
cable should be sized according to local and
national installation requirements. Depending
on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG
copper conductor is required for installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is
recommended. The length of the cable depends
on the proximity of the switch to proper
grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included).
Note: Verify that the system is powered off.
1. Remove the grounding screw from the back of
the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of
the grounding cable on top of the grounding
screw opening.
2. Insert the grounding screw back into the screw
opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the
grounding screw.
3. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end
of the grounding cable to an appropriate
grounding source.
4. Verify that the connection between the
grounding connector on the switch and the
grounding source is secure.
Powering On the Switch
1. Connect the power cord to the power connector
on the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a
nearby power socket.

Connecting to the Network

The switch can be integrated into the network
through one of the following connection methods:
Switch to End Node or Powered Device
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the switch
to PCs with an 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 interface,
or connect and power remote IEEE 802.3af/at-
compliant devices, such as IP cameras or IP phones
using PoE.
Switch to Hub or Switch
Connect the switch to another switch or hub using
the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
Switch to Server
Connect the switch to a network backbone or
network server using the RJ-45 or SFP uplink ports.
