in half- and full- duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port 
to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10 Mbps 
or 100 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex mode accordingly.

miniGBIC — (1-2) The miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a 
connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the switch can be 
uplinked to another switch by using a fiber optical link. The miniGBIC port 
provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation 
at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

The power port is located on the back panel of the switch.

There are two ways to physically install the switch, either set the switch on 
its four rubber feet for desktop placement or mount the switch in a rack.

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following 
equipment and services: 

• Tools for installing the hardware

• Cables for WAN interfaces, desktop systems, and fiber connectivity 

devices, or for connecting additional additional LAN interfaces

• Computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, or Mozilla Firefox 

version 3 or later for using web-based system management tools

• Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be 

connected easily.

• Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and 

fluorescent lighting fixtures.

• Do not stack free-standing switches more than four units high.
