WARNING Insecure mounting may damage the device or cause injury. Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wallmounting. 2 Connecting Network Devices To connect the managed 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 managed switch Ethernet ports. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to Features of the Cisco Small Business Managed Switch, page 9 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 managed switch. NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is connected. This is normal behavior. Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations If your switch is one of the PoE models, consider the following: As a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) device, the switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4 Watts per PoE port to a PD (Powered Device). 4 300 Series Managed Switches
