To connect the unmanaged rackmount 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 network Ethernet cable to one of the numbered unmanaged rackmount switch Ethernet ports. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. NOTE If the uplink from one unmanaged, cascaded switch to another is moved from one port to another port, it can take up to five minutes for full network operation to resume. This is normal and expected behavior. STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to the unmanaged rackmount switch. NOTE To prioritize voice or video traffic by using the QoS feature on the switch, set flow control to off in the configurations of the connected devices. Otherwise, flow control might send a pause frame to the switch, blocking the high-priority QoS packets queued on the port. On some devices, such as some IP phones and IP cameras, flow control might not be configurable. STEP 4 Connect the power cord to the switch and a power source. 5 Cisco Unmanaged Rackmount Switches
