Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
There is a hardware connection problem.
The switch supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps connections. Using
Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps), the switch sends files across the network at speeds
up of to 2000 Mbps due to the full duplex nature of Gigabit Ethernet connections.
The switch supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. Each port on the
switch configures itself based on the cable that you plug into it. Depending on the
model, you can use the switch to connect either up to 24 or 16 Ethernet devices
such as computers, file servers, printers, routers, switches, or hubs.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
•
Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in to the switch and
