Mounting
This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a
desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
Installing Optional Modules: Before mounting the switch, you may want
to install optional modules. If you have purchased optional slide-in
100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-T/SFP, or stacking modules, install
these modules now, following the instructions “Installing an Optional
Module” above.

range: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-
mounted unit.
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack
assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the mains.

1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the
Bracket Mounting Kit.
2. Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not
provided).
3. If installing a single switch only, refer to “Connecting to a Power
Source.”
4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the
other, in any order.
Desktop or Shelf Mounting
1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch.
2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure
there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.
3. If installing a single switch only, refer to “Connecting to a Power
Source.”
4. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one.
Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order.
Installing an SFP Transceiver
To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following steps:
1. Consider your network and cabling requirements to select an

3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered
off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the
network cable before removing a transceiver.

Connecting Switches in a Stack
An optional stacking module ships with one stacking cable. The following
figure shows how the stack cables are connected between switches in a
stack.

stack.
Note: The stacking module must only be installed in port 25.
To connect up to eight switches in a stack, perform the following steps:
1. Plug one end of a stack cable into the TX (right) port of the top unit.
1. Plug one end of a stack cable into the TX (right) port of the top unit.
2. Plug the other end of the stack cable into the RX (left) port of the next
unit.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each unit in the stack. Form a simple chain
starting at the TX port on the top unit and ending at the RX port on the
bottom unit (stacking up to 8 units).

5. Select the Master unit in the stack by pressing the push button in on
only one of the stacking modules. Only one switch in the stack can
operate as the Master, all other units operate in slave mode. If more
than one switch in the stack is selected as Master, or if no switches are
selected, the stack will not function.

Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a switch to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at

the back of the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power

Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use
a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.

Port and System Status LEDs
The V2H124-24FX base unit also includes a display panel for key system
and port indications that simplify installation and network
troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy
viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.
