200 Series Smart Switches 3

Rack-Mount Placement

If your switch is rack-mount capable, it will come with a rack-mount kit. To

rack-mount the switch in any standard rack, attach the brackets to the

sides of the switch with the supplied hardware and secure the brackets.

CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to

be unstable and might tip over.

Connecting Network Devices

To connect the smart switch to the network:

STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered smart switch Ethernet ports.

The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to

Features of the Cisco Small Business Smart Switch, page 7 for

details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to

the smart switch.

NOTE Cisco recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed

the maximum cabling distance of 328 feet (100 meters). It can take up to

one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after they

are connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the

following power requirement:

• As a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, the switch can deliver a

maximum of 15.4 Watts per PoE port to a Powered Device (PD).
