 or 16 for the JGS516

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.

Estimated time: 5–10 Minutes

Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface or a  
19-inch rack.

Make sure that the location is:

Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.

Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear 

space on all sides of the switch.

Well ventilated, especially if it is in a closet.

For each device that you want to connect to the switch, provide an enhanced 

Category 5 (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connections. Each Ethernet 

cable has to be less than 328 feet (100 meters) long.

Install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.

Flat surface. The switch comes with four self-adhesive footpads. Stick one 

footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The 

footpads cushion the switch against shock and vibrations. 

Rack mounting. Follow the instructions in the 19-Inch Rack Mounting 

section.

Before you apply power, perform the following checks:

Inspect the equipment thoroughly.

Verify that all cables are installed correctly.

Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will not create 

a safety hazard.

Be sure that all equipment is mounted securely.

Use the rack-mount kit supplied with 
your switch. 

Use the Phillips head screws to 

fasten the mounting brackets to 

the sides of the switch. Tighten 

the screws with a No. 1 Phillips 

screwdriver. 

Align the bracket and rack holes. 

Use two pan-head screws with 

nylon washers to fasten each 

bracket to the rack. Tighten the 

screws with a No. 2 Phillips 

screwdriver to secure the switch 

in the rack. 

You can use the LEDs to troubleshoot hardware problems.

The switch has no power.

Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the switch.

Make sure that the power cord is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is 

connected to a power strip, make sure that the power strip is turned on. If the 

socket is controlled by a light switch, make sure the switch is in the on position.

There is a hardware connection problem.

Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in to the switch and 

the device.

Make sure that the connected device is turned on.

If the Ethernet cable is connected to a network interface card or other Ethernet 

adapter, make sure that the card or adapter is installed correctly and is working.

Make sure the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters) long.
