SD2008 Gigabit Switch

Power Adapter

Quick Start Guide

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch. The 
Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 
Mbps network clients.

The Port Status and System Status LEDs are located on the front panel of the 
Switch.

System—(Green) This LED lights up and remains lit when the Switch is 
powered on. 

Ports 1-8—(Green) Each LED lights up when a connection is made through its 
corresponding port. It flashes when the corresponding port is active.

The Ethernet network ports are located on the back panel of the Switch. All 
ports are auto-negotiating and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection.

1-8—These ports connect the Switch to network devices, such as computers.

The power port and security slot are located on the side panels of the Switch.

The power port is where you will connect the power adapter.

The security slot is where you can attach a lock to protect the Switch from theft.

Set the Switch on its four rubber feet, or mount the Switch on a wall. 

The Switch offers two wall-mount slots, which are the two crisscross slots on 
the bottom panel. The measurement between the two slots is 2.52 inches 
(64 mm).

To use the wall-mount option, follow these instructions:

Attach two screws to the wall, 2.52 inches (64 mm) apart, so that the 
Switch’s wall-mount slots can line up with the two screws.

Maneuver the Switch to insert the screws into the two slots. 

The application diagram shown here is an example of a typical network 
configuration. 

When you connect your network devices, make sure you don’t exceed the 
maximum cabling distances, which are listed in the following table:

Use Category 5e Ethernet network cables for your Gigabit 
connections.
